ABC is normally the network that makes the most changes, but this year they are keeping things pretty much the same.
Monday and Friday are the same. Tuesday will air the drama Queens after The Bachelorette. So does that make it a girls’ night or one for the mem? Wednesday sees Wonder Years after The Goldbergs, followed by The Conners, Home Economics, and A Million Little Things. For a comedic night, it is pretty depressing. Thursday starts off with Shonda Rhimes’ dramas, followed by David E. Kelley’s Big Sky. Sundays has two game shows leading into The Rookie.
All in all, it is not that bad. What do you think?
