ABC'S 2009-2010 Lineup: 11 New Shows

editor@buddytv.com — Tue, 19 May 2009 09:10:07 GMT

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.

There will be two seasons to watch for on Friday, as domestic-themed ABC reality series Wife Swap and Supernanny close their respective seasons with great episodes. Wife Swap and Supernanny, which were both recently renewed by ABC, will air their finales at 8pm and 9pm respectively.

On Wife Swap, the season finale will feature a family that operates a haunted house attraction swap with a strict, old-fashioned family that doesn't even allow their kids to watch the television or surf the internet. Somehow, only cobwebs are the only things that these two families have in common.

ABC Orders 'Supernanny' Spin-Off

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 09:00:00 GMT

Following the successful run of the British reality series Supernanny on ABC, the network has decided to work on a male based spin-off that aids parents with misbehaving children. Supermanny, a back-door pilot airing in the fall, will follow a similar format to the original Supernanny. But instead of professional nanny Jo Frost leading the living room intervention, Chicago child therapist Mike Ruggles will step in to do the job.

"With a guy, he can connect with dads in a different kind of way," executive producer Nick Emmerson said. "It's really powerful stuff."
