As I mentioned earlier today, the networks are presenting their fall schedules this week, starting today with ABC (NBC, which would have presented theirs Monday, instead did it in April).
However, there’s really not a lot to report from ABC, as their schedule isn’t changing much. We already knew that Lost, Pushing Daisies and just about every other show on ABC would be back next season … in fact, the only thing I was really waiting for was word that Eli Stone was officially renewed. It was one of the highlights of the spring, starting a little slow, but getting better and better with each episode. We almost took it off the TiVo after the first episode, but it soon became a must watch at our house.
So, what was added? Well, two shows jumped out at me: Life on Mars, based on the BBC series about a modern-day police detective who, after a car crash, finds himself transported back to 1973; and The Goode Family, a new animated series by Mike Judge about a very politically correct family.
Check out TV Squad for additional color and a complete list of what was renewed, canned and added to ABC’s schedule.
