ABC Fall Annotated

[Mark Jeffries]

Only  5 1/2 hours of scripted and only one sitcom, but no game shows.  Strange.  Here we go:

Monday
8 p.m.: ESPN Monday Night Football (select weeks, simulcast on The Worldwide Leader with the Manningcast on the Deuce--no indication how many games and what will air the other weeks)

Tuesday
8 p.m.: Dancing With the Stars (simulcast pn Disney+, we believe)
10 p.m.: HIGH POTENTIAL--In this Americanization of a French series, Kaitlin "Sweet Dee" Olson plays a mom with an exceptional talent for solving crimes. OK. In-house from ABC Signature.

Wednesday
8 p.m.: THE GOLDEN BACHELORETTE--About as much a new show as "Celebrity Jeopardy!" and "Celebrity Wheel" were, but hey. The obvious extension of this version of the franchise, of course, but remember how the marriage for "The Golden Bachelor" turned out. From Warners Horizon, of course.

9:30 p.m.--Abbott Elementary (the only sitcom in the fall lineup--"The Connors" will wait for mid-season for their last season)
10 p.m.: SCAMANDA--It's that true crime everybody loves--based on a podcast, it's the story of Amanda Riley, a good Christian mom who lies through her teeth on social media and has a secret to hide. Officially from the news department, but actually produced by the reality arm of Lionsgate.

THE NEW TGIT WITH RYAN MURPHY:
8 p.m.: 9-1-1
9 p.m.: DOCTOR ODYSSEY--Joshua Jackson from "Dawson's Creek" plays a cruise ship doctor., or what "The Loooove Boat" would be like if Doc Brinker did actual medical work. From Murphy's once and future home at Disney's 20th.
10 p.m.: Grey’s Anatomy (the last remnant of Shondaland on the Thursday lineup)

Friday
8 p.m.: Shark Tank
9 p.m.: 20/20

Saturday
7:30 p.m.: Saturday Night College Football

Sunday
7 p.m.: America’s Funniest Home Videos
8 p.m.: The Wonderful World of Disney (once again, you could watch those movies on Disney+ with no commercials, if you're on the commercial-free tier)

Only the CW is left now.

My mother in law wants none of the games on ABC so she can watch Jeopardy those nights

Joan Vassos, 61 and a school administrator from Maryland, who had to exit Turner's "Bachelor" due to a family health issue, will be the Golden Bachelorette, as is apparently custom...

I could have sworn reading that ABC wouldn't get any MNF games...

Unlike last year, ABC will get a limited slate of MNF as opposed to all 17 games.
