Hollywood Babble On & On #901: Fall TV Preview - ABC

New shows are in BOLD.

MONDAY

8 PM  “Dancing with the Stars”

10 PM  “Castle”

In January

8 PM  “The Bachelor”

10 PM  “Castle”

TUESDAY

8 PM  “Dancing with the Stars the Results Show”

9 PM  “Happy Endings”

9:30 PM  “Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23”

10 PM “Private Practice”

In January:

8 PM   “How to Live with Your Parents (For the Rest of Your Life)”

A sitcom about a single mother and her kid moving in with her parents. I'm assuming that wackiness ensues.

8:30 PM   “The Family Tools”

An adaptation of the British sitcom "White Van Man" that's been given a new title because the original title has more of a 'witnesses saw a white van leaving the scene of the crime' kind of vibe. It's about a screw-up who takes over his father's handyman business after his dad has a heart attack. I'm also assuming that wackiness will be ensuing with this one too.

WEDNESDAY

8 PM  “The Middle”

8:30 p.m.  “Suburgatory”

9 PM  “Modern Family”

9:30 PM    “The Neighbors”

A new sitcom about an ordinary New Jersey family who move into an exclusive gated community that just happens to be populated by aliens in human form. Wackiness and immigration form filling ensue.
 
10 PM   “Nashville”

A new soapy drama about the folks who live and work in and around the country music business with a dash of All About Eve involving a rivalry between an aging superstar, and an up and coming rival, with sexy results.

THURSDAY

8 PM   “Last Resort”
The crew of a nuclear submarine go rogue when ordered to fire on their own country. They flee to a tiny exotic island and make it the world's smallest nuclear superpower, with sexy results.

FRIDAY

8 PM   “Shark Tank”

9 PM   “Primetime: What Would You Do?”

10 PM   “20/20”

In November:

8 PM   “Last Man Standing”

8:30 p.m.  “Malibu Country”
 
This is "Nashville" in reverse. It's a comedy about a country singer who is left bankrupt by an ex-husband and has to live in her last remaining asset, a Malibu beach house. No doubt wackiness will ensue.
 

9 PM   “Shark Tank”

10 PM  “20/20”

    You made this one up, right? That can't be for real... can it?

  2. Nope. It's from the makers of The Chicago Code, which was a great cop show that was unfairly canceled. So I will give this show a chance, especially if they deliver on the sexy results.

    Wait, that sounds AWESOME.

    Although... D, what's the over/under on the show makers ruining their own effort with preaching about political issues?
