Some fall ABC shows I might be interested in…
Full disclosure: my intention was to edit this post so that only the shows I was interested in (based on description) remained, and I ended up deleting all of the comedies. What a drama queen.
The new shows that will get a 2nd season: Last Man Standing, Suburgatory, Don’t Trust the Bitch in Apartment 23, Revenge, Once Upon a Time, and my personal favorite—Scandal!
The shows that go the ax: GCB, The River, Missing, and Pan AM.
