ABC unveiled its Fall schedule today and it features an ambitious lineup of new series to premiere all season long.  The schedule features eight new shows, including a Wednesday night that contains nothing but new programs.  This is identical to the strategy ABC used two years ago when it premiered three new hour-long shows on Wednesdays.

The new Wednesday, however, features four new half-hour comedies which I will tentatively title the Back to You reject lineup, as three of the sitcoms star former cast members of that failed FOX sitcom, including Kelsey Grammer, Patricia Heaton and Ty Burrell.  The other big change to the schedule is that Ugly Betty has been bumped to Fridays, wedged between Supernanny and 20/20.

In the last episode of Brothers & Sisters, Kitty wanted to have a low-key baby shower, without any party games or extravagant gifts, but things didn't exactly go that way, thanks to Nora and Sarah.  There were some funny moments, too, courtesy of the gay men who were not so surprisingly invited to the shower.

Also, she got an offer from her alma mater to start up a new university department on broadcast journalism, which is only her dream job, but she considered that the baby might be a factor soon.  Of course, Robert wanted her to take the job (because he was a little guilty that she should make the sacrifices he wasn't willing to make), but Sarah sort of implied that babies tend to be huge work.  Finally, she decided that the baby was definitely more important than her career.  This was the central dilemma in the last episode, the classic career versus family variety.  The moment Kitty finally decided to have a baby, her dream job came knocking.
