Thanks to Marc Berman, here's the fall schedule, with comments:
Monday
8:00 p.m. Dancing With the Stars (two hours)
10:00 p.m. Castle
Looks like they're not even going to try to put a sitcom at 9:30--it
also means that after the first few weeks, "Dancing" will become just
as padded and bloated (but revenue-generating) as "Idol."
Tuesday
8:00 p.m. SHARK TANK
9:00 p.m. Dancing With the Stars Results Show
10:00 p.m. THE FORGOTTEN
"Shark Tank" is the Americanization of "Dragon's Den," in case you
didn't know.
Reiko Aylesworth's the most familiar name on "The Forgotten," if you
remember her from "24."
Wednesday
8:00 p.m. HANK
8:30 p.m. THE MIDDLE
9:00 p.m. MODERN FAMILY
9:30 p.m. COUGAR TOWN
10:00 p.m. EASTWICK
I think I saw that "Hank" is a one-camera show, so if I read this
correctly, we're going back and forth from one-camera to multi-cam
every half-hour on Wednesday nights.
Neil Flynn's in "The Middle," so I think The Janitor's left "Scrubs."
Julie Bowen's playing Ed O'Neill's wife in "Modern Family." And the
witches of "Eastwick" are Lindsay Price, a presumably much slimmer
Sara Rue and Rebecca Romijn, with Paul Gross.
Thursday
8:00 p.m. FLASH FORWARD
9:00 p.m. Grey's Anatomy
10:00 p.m. Private Practice
Joseph Feinees starts in "Flash Forward," which everyone thought was
going to place-hold for "Lost" on Wednesday nights. I guess that ABC
thought that the "NCIS" spinoff is going on Wednesday at 8 on CBS and
decided to be the comedy network on Wednesday.
Friday
8:00 p.m. Supernanny
9:00 p.m. Ugly Betty (new day and time)
10:00 p.m. 20/20
Will both Eliza and America go down together? Not that, you perv.
Saturday
8:00 p.m. Saturday Night Live College Football
Announced by Seth Meyers and Amy Poehler?
Sunday
7:00 p.m. America's Funniest Home Videos
8:00 p.m. Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
9:00 p.m. Desperate Housewives
10:00 p.m. Brothers & Sisters
