ABC normally gives Grey’s Anatomy and Station 19 a break in January, but this year they are also giving one to The Good Doctor and A Million Little Things. That makes me wonder if the two shows that are really struggling in the ratings will be saying goodbye to our TV sets in May.
Personally, I think that The Good Doctor should have been canceled as soon as Shawn started talking about sex. If I wanted to watch a crappy medical show that is also a soap opera, then I would watch Grey’s Anatomy. But I don’t, so I don’t want to watch The Good Doctor fail at that.
When it comes to A Million Little Things, seriously, how can anyone watch that show? It is like how can we make it more depressing. And then they show us how they can.
I don’t think these are the only shows getting the ax this year. I think we will be saying goodbye to The Goldbergs and/or The Conners. The Goldbergs hasn’t been the same since the real Adam F. Goldberg left.
ABC is loving The Wonder Years so much; they asked it to stick around for a full season. Is the news a surprise? Nope. I think it is better than the original mostly because Dulé Hill embodies everything his character should for that era.
What news does surprise me is that ABC also picked up Home Economics for an entire season. Not only is the sitcom terrible, its ratings match. I guess they have nothing waiting in the wings.
Not only for this season but the next one too. I think The Goldbergs and/or The Conners might be announcing their final seasons in a few months. Or at least they should because they are way past their expiration dates. Ever since the real Adam F. Goldberg left the show, it lost everything that made it so endearing.
Today is ABC’s TCA Summer Press Day, and they had a lot of news to share.
They started it off by announcing that Kevin Hart will be a Shark on Shark Tank. Does he have businesses that qualify him for the show? I guess we will find out like we did when Alex Rodriquez was a Shark.
Steve Harvey is going to be Judge Steve Harvey for 10-episodes in 2022. The judge, the jury, and the star of the series, Harvey, will welcome a variety of conflicts and characters to his courtroom – from small claims to big disputes and everything in between. Steve plays by his own rules, basing his courtroom on his own life experiences and some good old common sense.
The show is casting now, so if you got a case for him, then apply here.
Talking about casting, Dancing with the Stars announced their first two stars. They are Olympic Gold medalist Suni Lee and JoJo Siwa. The recently out teen millionaire will be the first contestant in 30 seasons to dance with a same-sex pro. We don’t know who it is, but I hope they get Julianne Hough to do it.
DWTS doesn’t need to name any more stars because Siwa is going to win. Between the fan base, the same-sex partner, and the fact that she was on Dance Moms and Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition means she knows how to dance.
Finally, The Conners are going live for their season premiere on September 22nd, and you can appear on the show virtually as a long-lost relative.
As part of the storyline, a Conner family member will call each lucky sweepstakes winner for a live conversation regarding how they deal with some of the same life issues that the Conners navigate on a daily basis.

Antonia Thomas made a big decision, and that is to leave The Good Doctor after four seasons.
She wrote her goodbye on social media, “It has been a privilege and pleasure to play Claire Browne and to be a part of such a wonderful show, working with such brilliant people. You couldn’t ask for a nicer work family than the @thegooddoctorabc @sptv cast and crew and I feel so lucky to call you all my friends.
“Thank you so much to the incredible fans who have been unwavering in their support- it has been so appreciated over the years. I’m sad to leave but also excited for this next chapter. Wishing my @thegooddoctorabc family the very best for Season 5. Much love to you all. ❤️❤️❤️
‘Venga, Vamos!’” 😉
Personally, I think she made the right choice. Now that show is more Grey’s Anatomy than House; it has not been as enjoyable. Every season I hope that it gets cancelled because I don’t know why I am still watching. Yet, I keep coming back for more.
