Monday
8:00 - Dancing with the Stars
10:00 - The Good Doctor
Despite being a bonafide hit for ABC, The Good Doctor stays put on Mondays at 10:00, which is both smart and a bit confusing. ABC seems to always be hesitant to move its 10:00 dramas to help out struggling lineups (Castle, for example, never aired anywhere but in this same slot in its eight seasons). So I guess they're going with "if it ain't broke, don't fix it," though The Good Doctor could breathe some life into another night.
Tuesday
8:00 - Roseanne
8:30 - The Kids Are Alright (NEW)
9:00 - black-ish
9:30 - Splitting Up Together
10:00 - The Rookie (NEW)
I would have flipped The Good Doctor with The Rookie, which will be airing in a very troubled slot (then again, the last success in this timeslot was also a procedural). The Kids Are Alright looks to fit tonally with Roseanne, though with so many sitcoms on the air, ABC couldn't find a family multicam to pair it with?
Wednesday
8:00 - The Goldbergs
8:30 - American Housewife (New Timeslot)
9:00 - Modern Family
9:30 - Single Parents (NEW)
10:00 - A Million Little Things (NEW)
It became obvious in reading through the schedule at this point that ABC is once again just filling holes rather than making big moves. The Rookie took over a canceled show's slot; so did The Kids Are Alright; A Million Little Things is doing the same.
American Housewife is on the move yet again, to an hour earlier than it aired this season, bumping Speechless. Curiously missing from this lineup is the Goldbergs spin-off, which would have seemed a natural pairing with its parent series.
Thursday
8:00 - Grey's Anatomy
9:00 - Station 19
10:00 - How to Get Away with Murder
Thursdays remain all-Shonda despite the cancellation of Scandal, with the Grey's spin-off Station 19 fitting comfortably into the middle of the lineup. With Shonda's move to Netflix, could this be the last season we'll see three Shondaland productions on the same night?
Friday
8:00 - Fresh Off the Boat (New Timeslot)
8:30 - Speechless (New Timeslot)
9:00 - Child Support (New Timeslot)
10:00 - 20/20
After taking a season off, ABC revives its Friday night comedy block with two average-performing shows, one each displaced from the Tuesday and Wednesday lineups. With this new block, ABC will have a whopping ten sitcoms on air at once, with another waiting in the (midseason) wings. It's an ambitious assortment of comedies, but that's where ABC's found a bit of success these past few years, so it makes sense to stick with what's working (especially with so few drama successes to speak of).
Sunday
7:00 - America's Funniest Home Videos
8:00 - Dancing with the Stars: Juniors (NEW)
9:00 - Shark Tank
10:00 - The Alec Baldwin Show (NEW)
First announced this time last year before never making it to air, the Dancing with the Stars edition starring younger dancers will finally make its debut on Sundays (seemingly as a placeholder for the next season of American Idol). I do find it odd that ABC is putting two iterations of DWTS on at the same time, on back-to-back nights no less, considering the low ratings this current athletes-only season is garnering. I guess they're hoping the twist of kids dancing will have a positive impact on viewers? Shark Tank again anchors the night, leading into a new talk show starring Alec Baldwin, the first in broadcast primetime since NBC's failed Jay Leno experiment nearly a decade ago.
Midseason
Coming up at midseason, ABC has the returns of The Bachelor, American Idol, and freshman legal drama For the People (which is currently anticipated to take over Thursdays at 10:00 when Murder ends its season), as well as new comedy Schooled and new dramas The Fix, Grand Hotel, and Whiskey Cavalier. The sixth season of Marvel's Agents of SHIELD will return in summer 2019.
With such a rollercoaster season as ABC had, which saw the cancellations of three long-running series (Once Upon a Time, Scandal and The Middle); quite a few out-and-out failures (The Crossing, Ten Days in the Valley, Marvel's Inhumans, The Mayor); a few moderate hits (Splitting Up Together, American Idol, Station 19); an unmitigated success (The Good Doctor); and one truly huge breakout (the Roseanne revival); it's no surprise that this schedule is conservative. It's going to be another rebuilding year for ABC. And since their sitcoms are so stable, it's okay to bet big on them by filling your schedule with comedy blocks. It's okay to bank on unscripted programs, especially on nights like Sunday that have been difficult. Are there decisions I wouldn't have made in this schedule? Yes. Are they as idiotic as some of the ones other networks have made? No.
The most confusing thing here, I think, is the Dancing with the Stars decision. That show has been oversaturated for years now, so to add an offshoot to the schedule at the same time that the original is airing could either do really well thanks to cross-promotion or totally crash and burn. My guess is the latter, based on the chilly reception (both critically and in terms of ratings) of this current season. I think the shortened format has soured a lot of viewers, and the question of whether they will return to view the fall season, let alone two fall seasons, remains to be seen.
Other than that, this is a safe schedule. It's a dull schedule. The only big move is transferring Fresh Off the Boat and Speechless to Fridays; everything else either stayed put or shifted a bit on the same night (American Housewife, Child Support). As I said before, new shows have plugged holes. ABC is just sitting back, waiting for another hit to sprout and help rebuild their schedule... but how much longer can they really wait? And when will it become too late?
