ABC: Your Hopes & Dreams?

abc

It’s time for another go around on hearing your thoughts on various Disney topics. This time around, we are discussing ABC programming. For those who aren’t aware, ABC is having a tough time in the ratings department. Though they have two huge hits with Shonda Rhimes’ programs (Scandal and Grey’s Anatomy) and a claim on Friday nights with the success of Shark Tank…everything else is kind of a dud.

While some are semi-duds, like Nashville, which only has a 1.3 rating live, it boosts to over 3.0 with DVR, so I do expect it to receive a 3rd season, some are dead-on-arrival, like the mini series The Assets that was yanked off the air after 2 episodes.

Some people want to see a TGIF concept come back to Friday nights, but ABC knows they have a lock with their crazy hit Shark Tank. They make it a kind-of-sort-of TGIF with Last Man Standing and The Neighbors, but neither are doing incredibly well.

Last season, a Big Thunder Mountain show was passed on, while Lucky 7 came and went just as fast as the “Wildest Ride in the Wilderness”. Their Sunday night is quickly becoming a problem as well, with Revenge being moved to the dreaded 10pm time slot and Once Upon A Time‘s ratings slipping faster than Cinderella’s glass slipper.

Castle Preview: 6-15 Smells Like Teen Spirit

We’re going back to high school on this week’s episode of Castle. And from the sound of things, the victim will be that one person we all wish would have died – the mean girl. So you’d think with someone like that being the victim,… Read More »Castle Preview: 6-15 Smells Like Teen Spirit

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Preview 1-13: T.R.A.C.K.S.

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns to ABC tonight with a new episode and here’s hoping that, despite taking a short break, they can maintain the momentum that the previous two episodes have been building.

Castle 6-14 Episode Preview: Dressed to Kill

And there was much rejoicing in the Castle fan sphere after the last episode. That’s because the much reviled (and I’m being kind) Pi appears to have been written out of the show. While we didn’t see Alexis officially break up with him, it was… Read More »Castle 6-14 Episode Preview: Dressed to Kill

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. – How Would You Bring Back Viewers?

We’ve got two more weeks before we get new episodes of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. so I thought we could take a step back and see how the show is fairing. The first half of the season, while enjoyable, has progressed very slowly. That said, we… Read More »Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. – How Would You Bring Back Viewers?
