Networks To Announce Fall Line-Ups Next Week
Next week is the big week when the networks are set to reveal what shows are coming back in the fall, the nights they will air and what the new shows will be from the pool of pilots submitted.
Most of the new shows are expected to be action oriented serials (ie the next “Heroes”) or drama/comedies (ie the next “Ugly Betty”). It looks like the days of the half-hour sitcom on major networks could soon be history.
Of the shows coming out, I’m excited about a few. I think it’s a no brainer the “Grey’s” spin-off will be picked up, it pulled in good numbers, in spite of the mediocre reviews it got from the press.
I’m hoping ABC will give “Football Wives” a chance. I loved the BBC version, this one could be great . . . if done right. The other show I’m also looking forward to, which almost for sure will be picked up, is another remake! I’m speaking of NBC’s new “Bionic Woman.” Part of me thinks they really shouldn’t mess with a classic, but it could be good if done right.
