First of all, it's a Canadian pickup (with all due respect to
"FlashPoint").
And it's so out of sync with ABC's programming philosophy of catering
to women before anything else (yes, except for "Wipeout" and similar
reality shows during the summer). The only regular season show
"Gravity"'s compatible with is "Lost"--and that's ending this year
(and they've already got "Flash Forward" and "V" to replace "Lost"'s
niche as their main sop to male audiences). I just don't see it with
a "Grey's Anatomy" or "Ugly Betty" lead-in.
