We're mere days away from August and with that comes the approach of fall and the return and debut of various network TV primetime series. ABC has finally released their schedule for Fall 2012, which begins mid-September with Shark Tank, but doesn't really get going until later in the month.
It'll be interesting to see if ABC follows suit in releasing some of the pilot episodes of their new series early online as Fox and NBC have already planned to do. In the meantime, in about two months we'll start to see ABC's series return or make their grand debut. Among the series set to return first are Dancing with the Stars, Private Practice and Castle, after which we'll start to see some of the Wednesday night comedies arrive, including new series The Neighbors. But the two-hour Wednesday night comedy block won't really take shape until October when The Neighbors moves to its regular (earlier) time slot and Suburgatory returns for Season 2.
Also among the new series to join the line-up are Last Resort, Nashville and 666 Park Avenue. Below is the schedule indicating their premiere dates. This is subject to change between now and the fall.
