The new ABC fall schedule is a combination of the familiar, the new and a few surprises. Many of the surprises are in the form of extended episodes for those shows best working for ABC. Wednesday-night comedies Modern Family and The Middle will both premiere with special, one-hour episodes in late September. Also getting the extended treatment are Grey's Anatomy (two hours), Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (two hours) and the new comedy, Last Man Standing (one hour).

Viewers looking forward to new fare on ABC may need to wait a little longer as well. Three of the network's new programs -- Last Man Standing, Man Up! and Once Upon a Time -- will not debut until October.
