ABC Gives Early Pick Ups For ’09-’10 TV Season
April 23, 2009 by Kath Skerry
ABC won’t be announcing it’s full lineup of shows until next month’s Upfront presentation, but the alphabet network did give an early nod to a few shows today. Nothing too shocking but a big sigh of relief if you are a fan of the following:
- Dancing with the Stars
- Desperate Housewives
- America’s Funniest Home Videos
- Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
- Wifeswap
- Brothers & Sisters
- Private Practice
- Grey’s Anatomy
- The Bachelor
- Supernanny
- Ugly Betty
- Lost
Again, no big surprises here. But this list does however put to rest all rumors about a possible UGLY BETTY cancellation. Logically many of us new the show wasn’t going anywhere, but ABC’s schedule shift had quite a few people worried.
I’m looking forward to the next schedule released. What will make the cut? I’m hoping BETTER OFF TED makes the list – it’s a great show!

I’m gonna need more Castle. It’s the only thing I watch on ABC.
I’m hoping for Castle and The Unusuals. I’m really liking The Unusuals. I wish someone was blogging about it to the point where I might email you and see if I can blog about it just so I can see other people’s thoughts. That’s the only things I watch on ABC
I’m hoping Castle, The Unusuals and Better Off Ted!
I am on the Castle and Unusual train too! Love both shows.
I didn’t know that America’s Funniest Videos was still on. I thought that went away 10 years ago?
I am crossing fingers, toes, and eyes for Castle AND Better Off Ted. Both fantastic shows! Scrubs, which was a favourite of mine last year, I could probably do without, sad as it is.
I’ve watched all three of the shows mentioned and I find myself liking all of them. Castle the most – I find myslelf looking forward to it. The other two are good also, and deserve renewal, but I haven’t found myself waiting for the next ep just yet.
ENOUGH OF THE BACHELOR! That is the worst concept for a tv show ever. I lose respect for people who watch that show. A goup of desperate women saying “pick me!” is SOSOO sad. I’m embarrassed for those “contestants”. What a shocker when the relationships don’t work out (giving the decision solely to the man is not a relationship). Then I see this Melissa girl on DWTS and I wonder what would posess her to be on The Bachelor? Like she can’t get a date? WORST SHOW.
P.S. bring back Eli Stone…..:(
There’s the possibility of “Scrubs: The Next Generation” (or something similar following the new interns, but even as a huge Scrubs fan, I don’t care too much. However, I will admit that Denise, one of the new interns, is probably the best new character on TV this season.
But I hope “Better Off Ted” gets renewed. The post-Scrubs slot just isn’t that great of a slot, and I wish they’d give it another try before canceling.
