ABC announces their 2025-2026 schedule
May 13th, 2025 under ABC. [ Comments: none ]

ABC was the last of the Big 4 to announce their schedule for next season, and they did not save the best for last.

Having said that, I will probably be watching it more than CBS, NBC, and Fox in the Fall. However, I would be watching it more if Will Trent and The Rookie were on the schedule in the Fall. I hate that they are holding it for the tired Dancing with the “Stars.”

As you can see, The Bachelor and Doctor Odyssey are missing from the schedule. That is because their fate has yet to be decided. The latter is said to be up to Ryan Murphy.

ABC has not handed a rose to The Bachelor

ABC was handing out roses today, and they were given to American Idol, America’s Funniest Videos, Celebrity Jeopardy, Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, and Shark Tank.

However, The Bachelor is still waiting to find out if it will be returning for another season. It is not alone because ABC also put The Bachelorette on pause this Summer.

While their fate is still in jeopardy, The Golden Bachelor has already been picked up for another season, with Mel Owens, a 66-year-old former NFL veteran-turned-lawyer, as the dating show’s leading man.

Personally, I am surprised they picked up Shark Tank for another season without Mark Cuban. Its ratings are going to drop faster than the stock market whenever Trump announces new tariffs. Plus, who else wishes they would deport Mr. not-so Wonderful back to Canada?

Is Doctor Odyssey making like the Titanic and getting cancelled?
April 3rd, 2025 under ABC, Ramón Rodríguez, Ryan Murphy, Shonda Rhimes, Tim Allen. [ Comments: none ]

ABC had good news for Will Trent, The Rookie, 9-1-1, Shifting Gears, and Grey’s Anatomy because they picked up all five shows for another season.

However, Doctor Odyssey is still waiting by the phone to find out if it will set sail again or if it will sink.

Since ABC has already picked up the 9-1-1 spinoff, 9-1-1: Nashville, I think we know they will do a Rose and let it die like Jack. I mean, how many Ryan Murphy shows do they need? Additionally, I am sure it is an expensive show to pay for Joshua Jackson and Don Johnson’s salaries, and they are not getting the ratings to justify that pay.

CBS picks up 9 shows, Hulu stays in Paradise, and 9-1-1 news at ABC
February 20th, 2025 under ABC, CBS, Chuck Lorre, Ghosts, NCIS, Ryan Murphy, This Is Us. [ Comments: none ]

Today was a good day for several series on CBS, Hulu, and ABC.

I will start the news off with CBS. The network picked up Tracker, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, Hollywood Squares, Elsbeth, Fire Country, NCIS, NCIS: Origins, and NCIS: Sydney for another season.

But that is only eight shows. What is #9? Ghosts will haunt us for two more seasons.

Those nine join returning shows Matlock, FBI, Survivor, and The Amazing Race, new shows Fire County spinoff Sheriff Country, Blue Bloods spinoff Boston Blue, and singing competition The Road.

Over at Hulu, Dan Fogleman’s Paradise, which stars his This Is Us star Sterling K. Brown, will remain underground for another season.

Finally, ABC loves 9-1-1 so much that they are adding Nashville to the franchise next season. But before then, we are going to get a 9-1-1/Doctor Odyssey crossover in March. According to Variety, the episode takes part during Casino week, and “unexpected guest Athena Grant suspects two passengers are targeting the ship’s vault. Enlisting Max’s help, Athena raises the stakes in a dangerous game where not everyone will end up with a winning hand.”

I wish ABC and Ryan Murphy had picked someone else to take the cruise because it seems
unrealistic that she would get back on a ship so quickly after last year’s water disaster.

Even though we are seven months away from the 2025-2026 season, I can’t wait for it to start.
