ABC is the third broadcast-tv network to confirm which shows will be airing as part of its fall 2018 schedule, and there are a lot of bold moves from the alphabet network.
One of the network's most promising new series, The Rookie is being shunned to the Tuesdays at 10/9c ABC death slot.
Given Nathan Fillion's huge fanbase, this could turn out to be a good move if the show emerges as a success. Every single show that has been airing in the slot over the last few years have struggled to bring in decent ratings.
While most of them end up canceled, the most recent death slot dramas that were saved by ABC are Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and For The People.
Meanwhile, Roseanne will have episodes ready for the fall as opposed to midseason which means ABC should be able to remain competitive in the lead-off hour.
