So the network is ******** withBody of Proof as well. Not a shock. Programers Suck!
What is going to happen with NATE, when Steve Harvey takes the 10am time slot ?????
TAINT FAIR McGee!!!!!
ABC’s new shows seem to be going for a different demographic than mine. At least, it will allow me to enjoy CBS without any issues.
Not much to watch on ABC except on Sunday-uh oh-Revenge will be on the same time as Downtown Abbey on PBS, what to do what to do-tape one and visit friends to watch the other, mystery solved. Not much on daytime either, just Gen Hospital and Dr. Oz. My DVR and VCR will not be busy this year, great, electricity bill should be much less this season.
Glad to see so many favorites coming back. My only disappointment is that the season premiere of “Grey’s Anatomy” is only on for one hour. With the emotional ending we experienced in the final eppy of last season, I was hoping for a 2-hour opener this season.
There certainly was enough drama to fill that span. Can’t wait for it to start!
What a mad, mad world where I’ll be watching/trying more shows on CBS than ABC. “Castle,” “Last Resort,” “Once Upon A Time,” “666 Park Avenue,” then there’s “Scandal” for my parents.
I was looking for Body Of Proof, too and there is an article that on Hollywood Reporter that it is coming back for a short 13 episode season and that they are dropping the 3 cops from the show and adding 2 new cops – one is a former Megan love interest. I guess it will probably be a mid season replacement show. It’s ashame it’s only 13 shows – I was hoping for a full season……
it makes no sense for dont trust the B and last man standing to be returning so late in the schedule plus I thought last man standing and malibu county were going to be part of the new TGIF on ABC along with some other comedies. ABC is going to shoot it self in the foot once again by not following through and standing by its programming.
Same question; I understood Body of Proof was coming back.
What happened to Body Of Proof? I remember reading that it was renewed but with some casting changes.
Dave » It will return mid-season.
Thanks. Was confused for a minute.
I suspect it’s being held for mid-season.
Body of Proof should premiere on Tuesdays in September during the regular Fall schedule, not mid season.
