ABC Upfront 2009-2010 Schedule

Well, not too bad of a schedule over at ABC for fall upfronts. Here's there schedule for this fall, with some added midseason notes:

Sundays:
7:00 AFV
8:00 Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
9:00 Desperate Housewives
10:00 Brothers & Sisters

Mondays:
8:00 Dancing with the Stars
10:00 Castle

Tuesdays:
8:00 The Shark Tank
9:00 Dancing with the Stars: Results
10:00 The Forgotten

Wednesdays:
8:00 Hank
8:30 The Middle
9:00 Modern Family
9:30 Cougar Town
10:00 Eastwick

Thursdays:
8:00 Flash Forward
9:00 Grey's Anatomy
10:00 Private Practice

Fridays:
8:00 Supernanny
9:00 Ugly Betty
10:00 20/20

And for midseason, The Deep End, Happy Town, and V will all make it on the schedule. Other pilots, like Inside the Box, haven't been picked up yet, but are still under consideration, so shouldn't be counted out. Meanwhile, as reported, Samantha Who? has been cancelled. McPherson said although it's a great show, they are very disappointed in its ratings. Cupid and The Unusuals are also goners. Meanwhile, no decision has been made on Surviving Suburbia yet. They want to see how it performs this summer in its new slot, Wednesdays at 9:30, before making a decision. Scrubs and Better Off Ted will return again in January, airing Tuesdays at 9pm until DWTS returns, so both will have only 9-13 episodes this season. Zach Braff will return for at least 6 episodes of Scrubs, so it won't be a total lost. The Bachelor will return, airing 8-10pm on Mondays in January. Lost will return for its final season, but has not been scheduled yet. I'm guessing it depends on how all their new shows do. If the sitcom block succeeds, it will be great for the network. I love how 8-9:30 is Kelsey Grammar, Patricia Heaton, then the Christopher Lloyd/Steve Levitan pilot, who also created Frasier and Back to You, which Heaton and Grammar both starred in last season. A coincidence?

My thoughts: Overall, a good schedule. I kind of wish Brothers & Sisters would have moved out of Sundays. Ugly Betty on Fridays is a good idea, but paired with Supernanny? Wednesdays will be all new this fall, which could be very risky. They tried it before with Pushing Daisies/Private Practice/Dirty Sexy Money, which didn't work. Flash Forward will most likely succeed, but the other dramas could go either way.
