UPDATED January 25 (Grey's Anatomy spin-off title)
Monday
8:00 - The Bachelor (Beginning January 1)
8:00 - American Idol (NEW - Beginning March 12)
8:00 - Dancing with the Stars (Beginning April 30)
10:00 - The Good Doctor
10:00 - The Crossing (NEW - Beginning April 2)
This is a mess of a schedule throughout, but Mondays got off pretty easy. After The Bachelor completes its season, American Idol begins airing on back-to-back nights Sunday and Monday. Once it is scaled back to Sundays only, the new season of Dancing with the Stars, which will feature only athletes, begins and will air into the summer months. Freshman The Good Doctor has only an 18-episode order, so it is replaced by The Crossing in April.
Tuesday
8:00 - The Middle
8:00 - The Bachelor Winter Games (NEW - February 13 & 20)
8:00 - Roseanne (NEW - Beginning March 27)

8:30 - The Middle (New Timeslot - Beginning April 3)

9:30 - Splitting Up Together (NEW - Beginning March 27)
10:00 - Kevin (Probably) Saves the World
10:00 - For the People (NEW - Beginning March 13)
Another messy night for ABC. With The Mayor unceremoniously pulled from the schedule last week, repeats of Modern Family occupy the 9:30 slot until late March, when new comedy Splitting Up Together takes over. The Roseanne revival gets a one-hour premiere that same night, with The Middle returning the following week at 8:30. Fresh Off the Boat finishes its season on March 20. On the drama side, the new Shondaland production For the People succeeds Kevin at 10:00 on March 13, rather than moving into a vacant TGIT slot.
As counter-programming to the Winter Olympics, ABC will also air The Bachelor Winter Games for two episodes at two hours each in February while the regular lineup takes a brief hiatus.
Wednesday

8:30 - Speechless

Match Game takes over for Designated Survivor while it goes on an extended hiatus, similar to last season. The rest of the lineup returns with Match Game on January 3. Speechless will wrap its sophomore season early, on March 21, before being replaced by the new Zach Braff vehicle Alex, Inc.

10:00 - Scandal (New Timeslot - Beginning March 29)
10:00 - Quantico (New Timeslot - Beginning April 26)
TGIT returns on January 18, and that's about as simple as ABC's Thursday night gets. The Grey's Anatomy spinoff Station 19 will debut with a two-hour premiere on March 22, following Murder's season finale. Then Scandal shifts back an hour for its final four episodes, with its series finale airing on April 19. Then Quantico moves into the 10:00 slot the following week.

8:00 - American Idol (NEW - Beginning March 11)
9:00 - Shark Tank
10:00 - Deception (NEW- Beginning March 11)
Through January and February, repeats will occupy quite a few nights on the ABC schedule, though America's Funniest Home Videos and Shark Tank originals are sprinkled throughout. ABC's rebooted version of American Idol, with new judges Katy Perry, Luke Bryan and Lionel Ritchie, returns the week after the Oscars, leading into new drama Deception at 10:00.
The only series missing from this schedule is the proposed Dancing with the Stars Junior, which is either not happening or will be pushed into summer.
