ABC Announces Fall Schedule – Get A Peek At What’s Coming
22 May 2012 12:59 PM, PDT | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »
Terry O'Quinn as Gavin Doran in "666 Park Avenue" (ABC/Andrew Eccles)
ABC‘s slate of new shows for fall has a strange flavor to it, and it’s going to be a bumpy ride. The network has about as many new shows as returning ones (if you count all the midseasons), and a good percentage of the returning offerings are a year old or less, making this look a bit like a rebuilding year.
Not only is it a rebuilding year, but it’s the year of bringing back every actor and actress who ever had a decent run on a show before. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a network’s new season slate that was so crammed with people returning from something else. If you can’t make it good, I suppose, make sure viewers recognize the faces.
It’s tricky to get a solid feel »

The River: The Complete First Season - DVD Review
22 May 2012 9:27 AM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
Although the trip down The River was cut short just as the series was getting good, the DVD release of the Complete First Season capture the magic of the eight episodes and features enough bonus material to please fans of the short-lived series. From Oren Peli (director of Paranormal Activity) and executive produced by Steven Spielberg, the series was shot in the "found footage" style of filming and a premise of a show within a show set on the mysterious and magical Amazon River. The series featured Bruce Greenwood, Joe Anderson, Leslie Hope, Eloise Mumford, Paul Blackthorne, Thomas Kretschmann, Daniel Zacapa, Shaun Parkes, Paulina Gaitan, Scott Michael Foster, Katie Featherston, and Lee Tergesen.

New TV Season Breakdown: ABC
18 May 2012 4:33 AM, PDT | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
The Fall TV Season presentations for all the new network shows take place this week with the third one announced. Here's a full breakdown of which concepts have made the final list over on ABC.
An odd year for the once mighty juggernaut which can still pack 'em in. It had surprise success stories with "Once Upon a Time" and "Revenge", the latter becoming an unexpected international hit, and several shows have gotten renewals despite more modest numbers. Still, with it battling with NBC for the third and fourth position overall, the network has to introduce ten shows over the course of the season in the hope of getting a few stickers.
Several other pilots didn't make the final cut and won't be seen include the fashion label dynasty soap "Americana", ABC's update of the 90's "Beauty and the Beast" TV series, the Roland Emmerich-produced thriller "Dark Horse", the »

ABC upfronts: a network in search of hit shows and a much-needed identity
16 May 2012 8:27 AM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
Near the bottom of the network heap, ABC's new lineup is heavy on big stars but seems light on groundbreakingly good scripts
ABC was the third of the big four networks to present its roster of new shows to advertisers this week. Here's our guide to the potential hits and misses.
What ABC needs
ABC is good at creating buzz around its shows, which often makes it seem that the network is doing better than it is. In fact, ABC was easily beaten into third place in the ratings last year, and if you count the Super Bowl ratings (which I always think is a little unfair as it skews things) then it finished fourth behind NBC.
On the surface there's no clear reason for this – ABC had one of last year's most talked-about new shows, Revenge, and the season's only real breakout hit, Once Upon A Time. It has America's biggest comedy, »

ABC's New Schedule: 'Revenge' Heads To 'Desperate' Slot & More
15 May 2012 10:14 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
ABC is shaking things up for its 2012-2013 schedule.
"Revenge" is heading over to Sunday nights at 9 p.m. Et, the slot the now dead "Desperate Housewives" occupied up until last week. Old standby "Grey's Anatomy" is staying put, as is "Scandal," but they're paired with newcomer "Last Resort."
In a press conference call right after the schedule announcement, ABC Entertainment President Paul Lee said he's not concerned about launching a big action show at 8 p.m. -- especially not "Last Resort," from "The Shield" creator Shawn Ryan.
"I have so much faith in Shawn. You get a sense in this job of the showrunners who really know how to drive the train. Don't forget -- we've opened strong action shows at that hour, and certainly there's an audience for it. We believe strongly in the strength of this show. We think it's a big, broad tent show, we believe in it, »

ABC Picks Up 5 New Dramas & 4 New Sitcoms
11 May 2012 8:00 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
ABC went on a bit of a pilot pick-up spree today for the 2012-2013 TV season, ordering five new dramas and four new comedies to series.
The five dramas are "Last Resort," "666 Park Avenue," "Nashville," "Zero Hour" and "Red Widow" (formerly "Penoza") -- and that's not counting "Mistresses" starring Alyssa Milano, which was already ordered to series.
On the comedy front, there's "Family Tools," "The Neighbors," "Malibu Country" and "How to Live With Your Parents For the Rest of Your Life" (which we can't even begin to abbreviate, but hope they'll rename so we don't have to).
Here's the scoop on the dramas:
"Last Resort" is an action-adventure drama from "The Shield" creator Shawn Ryan. Shot in Hawaii, which subs for the South Pacific, it revolves around the crew of a U.S. nuclear submarine that disobeys orders and becomes a target for everyone from Nato to the mob. Andre Braugher, »

Renewals, Pickups and Cancellations Roundup for ABC, NBC, CW and AMC
11 May 2012 7:09 PM, PDT | BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news »
Dozens of shows learned their fate this week so we’re going to run down the latest as they came in on Friday evening. The headline news included series such as Nikita, Happy Endings, Parks & Rec, Body of Proof, and yes, even Whitney being renewed while NBC’s Awake and Harry’s Law were not.
Make note of how many 13-episode seasons were ordered. The thinking may be that the networks are learning that the cable model does work better, because it 1) allows more shows to be added to the lineup and 2) keeps the interest going through the fall instead of trying to carry the momentum through the holiday breaks. That doesn’t give fans many episodes to be excited about, but in the case of Community, any word of renewal, regardless of number was good news.
Networks could also be thinking the strategy behind 13-episode seasons could be to »

'The Big C' premiere: Alexis Bertrand takes up broom ball
8 April 2012 8:00 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
"The Big C" returned Sunday night (April 8) to Showtime and, in keeping with the show's format of one season equals one actual weather season, it is full-on winter for the Jamisons.
Cathy's cancer has responded amazingly to the drug trial, so for now her outlook is not quite as grim. The creators said way back before Season 1 premiered that they realize there are ups and downs in a cancer patient's life, so it's not as if Cathy is cured and everything will be sunshine and puppies from now on. But it's nice to see her get some good news.
Other good news is that Paul didn't die. We're actually a little torn on that front - don't get us wrong, Oliver Platt is wonderful and the Cathy-Paul relationship has been beautiful to watch, but it would've been an interesting choice on the show's part if he had died.
But he didn't and that's nice too, »

2012 TV Pilot Review – Soaps and Remakes
9 March 2012 6:29 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
After the high profile and, what Hollywood execs like to call “high concept” shows of last week’s article, this week I will be going through new pilots which follow two trends I like to call “remaking is breaking” and “Desperate Housewives is over and Grey’s Anatomy has got to end sometime”.
Grey’s Anatomy and Desperate Housewives have been big ratings pulls in the coveted demographic (18-49 if you don’t know) for ABC and have meant big advertising bucks. And, even though Grey’s prolific creator Shonda Rhimes, who will be show running three to five shows next season depending on pickups, has claimed that Grey’s will move past eight seasons, there is a general sense that the show is on the decline and, coupled with the loss of Desperate Housewives at the end of the current season, there is a definite hole in the market. »
