TV Upfronts Week: ABC (and a little ESPN)

ABC has the most stable lineup of all the networks, only adding about 4 shows. Including what has been called the worst kept secret in television, Scrubs is moving to ABC. And ESPN (since they are both owned by the Big Mouse) is adding CBS Morning Show refugee Hannah Storm to host a new daytime Sportscenter block which will launch with the Olympics

Life on Mars could be interesting. Is it a comedy sprinkled show? Seems like there could be some situational humor in that.


Do we really need more Tyra and Ashton?

Well, I'm sure this will be just fantastic. :confused:

Why don't they boot the dancing crap and just give us a full season of Scrubs?

Couldn't agree more!

I enjoyed the original BBC version of Life on Mars but since I enjoyed the original I wonder if I'll like the Americanization of it?

Can't say I watch one thing on ABC.

I forgot about the adventures of the pie maker, so I watch Lost and Pushing Daisies and that's it on ABC.

I watch Boston Legal. That show is a riot. Other than that, only football.

When is "mid-season"? I'm curious when LOST will be back.
