ABC’s Fall Line-Up No Laughing Matter

ABC unveiled their Fall Line-Up yesterday. Comprised of six new dramas and two new comedies, “Grey’s Anatomy” spin-off “Private Practice” made the cut securing a Wednesday 9 PM. Wednesday is ABC’s ifiest night as it’s the only night with all new dramas debuting at each time slot and ”Pushing Daisies” and “Dirty Sexy Money” sandwiching “Private Practice.”
The James Patterson-written/Brett Ratner-directed “Women’s Murder Club” will air after “Men in Trees” (which I guess won’t be on perma-hiatus status by that point and hopefully Heche and her steamy co-star’s real-life affair won’t have fizzled by then) on Friday night. The premise of “Women’s Murder Club” is a bit “Desperate Housewives” meets the spawn of “Murder She Wrote” and “CSI,” but the show might be the best new pilot ABC has to offer. But who’s going to watch a show on Friday night on ABC? That hasn’t been done since Steve Urkel and Fred Savage’s little brother were on TGIF.
ABC’s Sunday night line-up is remaining the same (Why not? Nielsen LOVES it!) with “Brother & Sisters” rounding out the 10 PM slot. And as if “Sam I Am” could compete with “Heroes,” it’s filling the Monday night at 9 PM slot…Personally, methinks the only show that might be able to compete with a show like that is “Lost.”
But wait??? Where is “Lost” on this line-up? Does this mean the show is over? That there will be no more podcasts devoted to my gripe with the show’s writers??
No. Phew. It’s just being pushed back till January 2009 to make room for “Private Practice.” Early word is that “PP” is no “Laverne & Shirley” or “Jeffersons” for that matter.
Huh? Has ABC lost it?
