ABC's Fall Line-up Announced

By Kelly West: 2006-05-16 00:00:00
ABC's Fall Line-up Announced The ABC 2006 fall line up has been announced and it looks like this fall might be the start of another great season for the Disney owned Network. With shows like ‘Lost’ and ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ returning, not to mention some of the new ABC shows that’ll be premiering, it wont be a surprise if viewers start to notice dust collecting on their remote controls.

Not all of ABC’s shows were hits this season. ‘Commander in Chief’ and ‘Invasion’ have been cancelled in order to make room for some of the new dramas that look like they might have a bit more success in the ratings. J.J. Abrams’ (‘Lost’, ‘Alias’) new show, ‘Six Degrees’ could be the show that makes ABC the network to watch on Thursday Nights. ‘Six Degrees’ will follow ‘Grey’s Anatomy’, which will be settling into it’s new timeslot of 9-10 pm on Thursday evenings. The new show ‘Brothers and Sisters’ will be taking over the ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ timeslot on Sunday night’s at 10 pm. It’s likely the network is hoping the new show will be able to mooch off Desperate Housewives’ large fan base with the same success that ‘Anatomy’ had.

Much Love to Entertainment Weekly for providing the line-up in list-form. New shows are listed in CAPS.

  • Every year I fall in love with 1 new show on ABC and inevitably it is cancelled!!! I loved October Road, it's a great show. The cast was wonderful and I will miss it, miss it, miss it!! Please bring it back!
  • PLEASE BRING BACK "INVASION". this show is so incredible and the last few episodes are awesome.

    we need more "invasion"

    abc sucks !!
  • Im so in love with desprate housewives and me n my freinds always have people come over i have a party every sunday so that we can all just watch it we r in LOVE with it!!!!!
    SOoo..ne ways if its not on tonight im going to jump into the tv n flip out on abc b/c they always cancel it to play freaking home edition blah blah blah
    thanks if u play it tongiht!!!!!!!!
    LOVE SHELBY!!!
  • What happened to October Road; even my husband who won't watch drama's like that one.
  • I know it is a VERY late comment, but I am still affected to this day. Please reconsider Invasion! It can be put in after Lost season, during the summer. I was dedicated to that show ( as I am to Desperate Housewives, Lost and Grey's Anatomy). I still want it back... ITS NOT TOO LATE!!!
  • Where's Invasion?????? Guess Ill be watching one less hour of ABC on Wednesdays. I am tired of following shows that disappear the next year. AnotherBadCancellation!
  • Why cancel According to Jim? I actually watch that show and it wa one my kids could watch. Please bring it back!!!!!
  • It was a really stupid move to get rid of invasion. it was a show that, while not being the #1 show in it's time slot, was able to eat up everyone who was not watching the #1 show. It did have a decent number of viewers each week.
  • why did you cancel Freddie?!! it was one of the better shows on television in a long time! SOMEBODY has to pick it up.
  • INVASION WAS CANCELLED?? I can't beleive it! It was a great show. I was so looking forward to the new season. You leave those stupid reality shows on and take off an exciting show like invasion. What are you people thinking???
  • Grey's Anatomy - don't watch it - but Alias was a top show and when they moved it from Sunday to Thursday/Wednesday - it died. CBS' cancellation of JUDGING AMY - one of the best dramas on t.v. - thoughtful, funny, touching, intelligent was STUPID - and you can't buy a "genuine" DVD of the program anywhere - just bootlegs - but you can get LOST - season 2 in a few days - go figure -- and I am a LOST fan - although - I'm losing interest. I don't understand why we need Law & Order Traffic School and/or CSI Pittsburgh, Big Brother 18....God help us all.
  • I can't believe ABC would cancel INVASION! It was the perfect show to watch after LOST and now we're apparently stuck with some other show. Get rid of Dancing With The Stars!! Who cares which stars can dance and which can't. These "stars" are only doing that show for the publicity. Instead we were left with a cliffhanger in May on Invasion and no way to resolve what happened!!! Bring back Invasion!!!!
  • Ugghhhhh - Where's the "Sons and Daughters" ? I cant believe it's not in for Fall. I thought it would make it on for sure...very funny show and I love the true to life situations. It was definetly a show that made me laugh out loud! Any news on Sons and Daughters or how to get a copy of the handful of shows that were on?
  • invasion was also one of my favorate shoes and now that its gone ill not be watching much of abc to bad it was a great show
  • abc is the worst station on tv I'd rather watch pbs 99% of the time. All they had was "Lost" and "Invasion" and Lost is getting pretty boring. -uck you ABC I hope your happy.
  • i never watched abc until last year when i got hooked on lost and invasion.they really never had anything good to watch.now look they had a great show like invasion and they take it off the air but not before leaving us all hanging.that sucks.i only remembered to watch lost because it came on before invasion.i hope the sci-fi channel picks it up.they seem to be a much brighter bunch then the ppl at abc...well you have lost another viewer here...
  • I cannot believe Invasion was axed. What a great show and I think I am going to boycott ABC and stop watching lost as CBS, FOX, and (to some extend) CBS are actually "in touch" with their viewers. Mark my words, if LOST does not pick up somewhat, people will stop watching and this will leave this idiotic network with 1 hit show. Pretty sad!

    I hope another network picks up Invasion and reaps the benefits and the big shots must be asleep at the boardroom and only care about lining their pockets! If more people stop watching ABC, maybe they will wake up!

    A pissed "former" viewer
  • That's total crape!!! I just found out that INVASION was cancelled. With a cliffhanger like that you can't just cancel a show. I strongly agree that ABC should bring it back or at least give us an ending. Or another network should pick it up. Grey's Anatomy was perfect on Sunday's after Deperate. There is already tooooo much competion on Thursday nights, it's definatly "Must Watch Tv" but so was Sunday Nights. Does anyone from ABC even read all these comments or is everyone just wasting their time. Well if someone from ABC is really reading these comments then show us that our commitment & love for these shows is not all for nothing & take into consideration to what we have said & bring back INVASION & put Grey's back after Desperate. Why should any of us watch the new shows on the line up, your just going to cancel them after we all get hooked. Or wait is that your MO & if it is you should really reconsider. BRING BACK INVASION!! PUT GREY'S BACK!! BRING BACK INVASION!! PUT GREY'S BACK!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! You should really do these things we ask if our loyalty means anything to you at all.
  • Finally you'v get a great team of writers on INVASION that leave us on the edge. Then what happens the "exe's" who obviously are NOT in touch with what ppl want.Yank the show off, just cos its not in the top 10. Does it allways ahve to be about the money.. Why not show 'Quality" shows that the whole family can sit down & watch. I cannot stand another reality showing up on the networks. I live in 'reality' thank you very much every day. I want the chance to escape to a show that entertains me and makes me want to come back for more.. Which INVASION & Commander in Chief did. I mean Wow was Commander a drama that i got my 'hooks' in too. I would TiVo both of these shows, wait excitedly to watch them both . Shame on your Exe's @ ABC. I say push them into the sea. My only hope is that a more intelligent and 'risk taking' network will step up to the plate. Shame on you ABC
  • Canceling Freddy is a huge disappointment. Not enough good humor in ABC line up. Life is already to serious we viewers need to laugh! And new show ’NOTES FROM THE UNDERBELLY’ ... sounds really lame! Bring back freddy!!
  • I don't care that grey's anatomy got moved to Thurs. I'd follow it wherever it goes. I'm still amazed that Judging Amy was cancelled last year. It was the best drama on t.v. Thank GOD we at least have Grey's now, no matter when it's on.
  • I agree, I can't believe that ABC cancelled Invasion, Lost and Invasion are my favorite shows. Everyone I work with watches them and then the next day we cant wait to get to work to rehash everything. ABC what are you thinking!!!
    I agree get rid of some of the reality TV Shows we are bombarded with. Leave the
    good stuff alone. Please reconsider. I have waited all summer to see what happened to everyone from the finally.
  • Why do all these networks cancel the good shows and still run the ones we cannot stand? I did not think I would like Invasion but watched it one night after Lost and was hooked from there on out. I also agree with needing to leave Grey's Antomy on Sunday, it was perfect right after Desperate Housewives. Why do the networks always mess with a good thing?
  • Invasion was the best show why cancel it. ABC sucks for that. I loed that show man.
  • Bring back Invasion! That show was so good and should not of been cancelled!
