ABC’s Midseason Schedule Surfaces

Earlier today, ABC joined NBC and released their plans for midseason. After the holiday season, ABC hopes to return to the primetime world with a strong showing. With no shows really on the move and new additions to the lineup, a fan favorite is noticeably missing from the schedule. With ABC leaving Cougar Town off of the schedule, people have to wonder whether the 5 new shows ABC plans on adding to their schedule will help boost their popularity in the primetime field.

New sitcom, Work It, will replace Man Up after the new year. Missing will take over the spot for Angels once Wipeout finishes out it’s run. Once Pan Am lands its final flight (will it be back for another season?) GCB, airing at 10/9c, will make an argument to hold on to the Desperate Housewives audience. For a complete look at the schedule, look below and be sure to let us know what you think.
