If Knights of Prosperity comes back, even if as a midseason replacement, that would be a minor miracle.

I'll be really curious to see Footballers Wives-US. The UK original was so over the top, but that's what made it entertaining. It could be very tough to duplicate particularly with the censors here.

Thought I read somewhere that they were considering moving Ugly Betty to Sundays. Glad they didn't. (so far)

Lost on Tuesdays? Stupid.

I have been reading that the new show with the most buzz is "Pushing Daisies".

Looking that over I realized I only watch Lost on ABC, although I've watched a couple of Notes From The Underbelly with my wife and found it pretty funny. It would be great to see Knights back.

So is Private Practice the Grey's spinoff? Can they come up with a more generic title?

Thursday night sounds fun.

Can't believe October road is coming back.
And that following the boring Private Practice makes ABC Wednesday sound like a good time to catch up on sleep!

That Private Practice name is horrible and sounds like a DEK show castoff. They should have called it Montgomery's Ward.

Lost on Tuesdays? And it sounds like they want to move it back to 9, right? I forget, is AI usually on at 8 or 9 on Tuesdays?

Don't worry, without the Grey's lead-in, I give it 6 episodes max.

I don't like PRIVATE PRACTICE were it is... Honestly I think it should be after GREY'S ANATOMY, because w/t GREYS as it's lead-in, PP (haha) might not make it...

ABC ADDS 10 NEWCOMERS, RENEWS 'NOTES,' 'ROAD'
By Brian Ford Sullivan (TFC)

LOS ANGELES (thefutoncritic.com) -- ABC is staying in "October Road" while "Notes from the Underbelly" has been given a second chapter.

In addition, 10 pilots - seven dramas ("Big Shots A.K.A. Perfect Gentlemen," "Cashmere Mafia," "Dirty Sexy Money," "Eli Stone," "Private Practice," "Pushing Daisies," "Women's Murder Club") and three comedies ("Carpoolers," "Cavemen," "Sam I Am") - have been issued series orders by the Alphabet.

The "Notes" pick-up is for 13 new episodes, which along with its five holdover installments from this season, will up its 2007-08 total to 18.

As for "Road," the network has yet to clarify if the renewal is for 13 episodes or a full season of 22.

Over on the newcomer side, the dramas include the much-ballyhooed "Grey's Anatomy" spin-off "Private Practice," two series from "Brothers & Sisters" executive producer Greg Berlanti ("Dirty Sexy Money," "Eli Stone") and efforts from "Sex and the City" creator Darren Star ("Cashmere Mafia"), "Reunion's" Jon Harmon Feldman ("Big Shots"), "Heroes'" Bryan Fuller ("Pushing Daisies") as well as a small screen take on James Patterson's book "Women's Murder Club."

And on the comedy front, there's the equally-ballyhooed "Cavemen," based on the Geico commercials, along with the Christina Applegate-led "Sam I Am" and Bruce McCulloch's ensemble "Carpoolers."

For details on each of the pilots, follow the links to the right.

I'm SHOCKED that "Football Wives" didn't get picked up... and disappointed (but not surprised as all) that "All Fall Down" didn't get a pick-up...

I'm pissed that Marlowe didn't get picked up (it meant work for me), especially considering that the unwatchable sitcom Cavemen got ordered to series. Fuckin' geniuses over at ABC.

Gotta have it on earlier than 10, viewers will have enough trouble staying awake as it is.

Football Wives Pilot must have either been horrible or too expensive to produce.

Sorry to hear about Marlowe FinkPish. Was Jason O'Mara in it? How was the pilot?

I recall a story that David E. Kelley had trouble casting a lead actor, so the show got pushed back to midseason.

Yeah, he was and he was great in it. Really likeable and clever, and the back and forth snappy dialogue between him and Adam Goldberg was great. It was a great pilot (biased of course), and apparently Touchstone really liked it. I think ABC wasn't as hot for it as the folks at Touchstone, so it didn't make it. Oh well.

ABC is like those airwaves in They Live that convince people to OBEY. They should add an "M" in front of the letters so that it's the "Middle American Broadcasting Company". Naturally, their heavy consumerist output is reflected by making the first-ever sitcom starring advertising characters. I can't even tolerate the thought of Grey's Anatomy or Ugly Betty or Extreme Makeover: Drunken Home Edition or especially Dancing with the Stars (like Cliff Clavin ballroom dancing is quality TV).

Here's my restrained viewpoint:

The good news is, According to Jim appears to finally be dead.

Unfortunately, Cavemen was picked up by this station. That show is going to make Baby Bob look like Seinfeld.
