May 14, 201312 yr SHEILD is probably going to be the biggest premier of the season by a clear ratings point. With the popularity of Marvel films it's a lock for renewal already and it's incredibly smart, imo, for ABC to use what will be a massively rated lead-in to launch new shows and help them build a big audience rather quickly. Plus it's not as if The Avengers could have grossed $1.5bn without appealing to more than Geeks so that market will be huge and allow pretty much anything to follow it.
May 14, 201312 yr Personally I think Castle should be in Betrayal's slot, its an established show and would probably do okay in the timeslot. Move Nashville to Mondays at 10 after DWTS, they are likely to share an audience. Those comedies after SHIELD are so misfitting. Agree with this so much. ABC really should have gone for a male skewing night. Although I'd guess ABC are hoping the show will appeal to everyone. SHIELD will probably be the biggest broadcast premiere in some time, how good it will actually be is anybody's guess. But on paper it sounds a smash.
May 14, 201312 yr I actually think ABC might have the best schedule this year in terms of structure and stuff. SHEILD is the pilot I'm most looking forward too as well, I hope we pick it up fairly sharpish. It's not going up against the voice, just an hour long Biggest Loser so it should dominate that 8pm timeslot.
May 14, 201312 yr Although S.H.I.E.L.D is without any of the iconic Marvel characters like Iron Main so maybe we're overestimating it, but I'll wait and see. Definitely see it premiering big, but it might fizzle out. Dont think those comedies will retain the audience at all.

May 14, 201312 yr I don't know how I feel about Rebel Wilson sporting an American accent. Naturally I shall be watching that, regardless of the supposed crapness of the Pilot, as she is a god amongst mortals.
May 14, 201312 yr Back in the Game cancelled after four weeks? Lenora Crichlow deserves better. (Anyone notice she's looking a bit rounder than usual?!) The Goldbergs looks extremely fabulous. Wendi McLendon-Covey is a GOD. (Much funnier than Rebel Wilson.) Surely this should be in the Weds 9.30 slot? Super Fun Night might as well have the tagline "we know this is shit but it's got Rebel Welson and we paid a lot for the privilege in so please just watch it TYVM" Trophy Wife looks very sharp. Malin is gorgeous, Marcia Gay Harden is flawless, and did I spot Andie MacDowell in there?! New Suburgatory.
May 14, 201312 yr The whole Tuesday night line-up looks great, hopefully it pays off on what I'd say was their weakest night before. Did like the "Super Fun Night" trailer too though. The "Betrayal" trailer isn't getting me excited at all. [season 1] Revenge it is not.
May 14, 201312 yr Mixology - looks proper shit. To think I was looking forward to this one. Betrayal - looks very classy and that lead actress is a star. Bound to flop though, but at 12 eps I might give it a go. Killer Women - SURELY the campest thing ever. Or at least since GCB. Resurrection - looks fantastic. Like the quality of a Scandinavian series (well it is based on a French one...) Lucky 7 could go either way, but the feel good factor might work in its favour. Depends how ridiculous it gets once they win. Mind Games - had no expectations of this and the premise is preposterous but it does look very well executed. So I think two comedies and perhaps up to five dramas on ABC I'll be sampling. A much more solid year than 2012/13 on the face of it.
May 14, 201312 yr I must have awful taste because Super Fun Night was the only trailer I liked lol. I miss the days when GCB, Apt 23, Suburgatory, OUAT, Revenge trailers premiered. Looked so good.
May 14, 201312 yr Back In The Game Looks like it would be a nice movie Betrayal No one cares for this, like at all. The Goldbergs That looks awful, just awful. WHY? Killer Women Welcome to Texas, here's a gun! Lucky 7 So this is the one based on The Syndicate yes? Can't see it getting past 7 episodes. Mind Games What's going on with the volume on these clips, it's all over the place. I don't think I approve of this. Mixology Hello Happy Endings. Again the audio is all over the place, sort it out please. A main cast of 10? That's too many people for me to care about. Did the trailer just bill it as being for 1 season? Say what. Resurrection That seems terrifying! It's actually given me goosebumps. Super Fun Night I want to enjoy this, hopefully it will be re-tooled a bit from the pilot. Trophy Wife YES! I am all over this!
May 14, 201312 yr The Goldbergs That looks awful, just awful. WHY? http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7tmbjhm2a1rvsnj6o1_500.gif
May 15, 201312 yr It looks potentially good. But nothing to cream one's pants over. Supporting cast are a bit bland.
May 15, 201312 yr Back In The Game \\ I actually quite like the look of this from the trailer! A few quite amusing moments, it has some potential. Betrayal \\ Will wait a couple of episodes to see how it pans out before I give it a go. Could be quite brilliant but could also be monumentally shit. The Goldbergs \\ Yeah.....No. When you set a show in 1985, try not to drive past a parking lot filled with modern cars like the 2013 BMW 3-series. If you can't be fucked to even try to pay attention to details as bloody obvious as that I can't be arsed wasting 20minutes on your trash. The wonder from Bridesmaids is too good for this turd. Killer Women \\ This should help fill the In Plain Sight shaped hole in my heart. Although the appearance of Marc Blucas has me concerned about his character on Necessary Roughness. Matt had better not be leaving the Hawks! Lucky 7 \\ Ehhhhh. Think I may pass on this. Mind Games \\ Leverage meets Lie To Me without the like-ability or charm of either. Mixology \\ Part of me really wants to like this, the other part of me saw the line "From the writer of 'The Hangover'" and ran like fuck in the opposite direction... Once Upon A Time In Wonderland \\ I'm sure I'll get round to this when I manage to get round to actually catching up with OUAT. Resurrection \\ Pass on this one too. Got too much to watch and nothing is really grabbing me tbh. Super Fun Night \\ Dislike Rebel Wilson having a MURCAN accent but she is a god so I shall be watching Trophy Wife \\ HELL YES. Marcia was flawfree in Whip It and Damages.
