When Once Upon a Time debuted on ABC, it was a fairy tale come true. But then they left Storybrooke for Neverland and the show was never as good. That is when the ratings started to go down and they never were able to get up to their initial numbers.
This year, ABC moved the show from Sundays to Friday and you can tell the end of the story was near. A time jump, a new city and several cast departures could not save the show. Today, the show’s author Adam Horowitz revealed that this season will be its last. Therefore in a few months, all of our favorite story time characters are off to live their happily ever after.

We know that American Idol and Roseanne are joining ABC’s midseason schedule, but they also have a lot of other shows that will be joining the two revivals.
We knew that American Idol is debuting Sunday, May 11th, but we did not know it was going to air two nights a week because that worked so well for Fox. If Idol is not magic enough, then Deception will be the answer. It’s a show about a magician turned FBI consultant. That Tuesday, For the People, a legal drama, replaces the recently concluded Kevin (Probably) Saves the World. Then the following Thursday, the Grey’s Anatomy spinoff about first responders premieres. Now we are up to Roseanne premiering on the 27th at 8p, later on that night we will get to know Oliver Hudson and Jenna Fischer’s sitcom Splitting Up Together. The next night Alex, Inc replaces Speechless. Both the latter sitcom and Fresh Off the Boat have their season finales the week beforehand.
Then in April, the Sci-Fi drama The Crossing replaces The Good Doctor. It has the potential to being a hit because it has that Sci-Fi feel we have been longing for. At then end of the month, Quantico joins TGIT and Dancing replaces Idol on Mondays.
Confused? So am I. Therefore to see the premiere dates, then click here!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvP9tQ9BPFE Child Support had me at Ricky Gervais interacting with kids, and kept me because it is such a lovable show. The game show that debuts on ABC tonight at 8p has two different elements to it, that merge well together.
The first part has Fred Savage as the host for the adult contestants. He asks the adults questions and if they guess right, they move on. If they get it wrong, they lose a money value, starting at $250,000, and it is up to the kids to save them. If the kids also get it wrong, then the adult goes home without any money.
Gervais is with a panel of 4-5 kids and he asks them the questions that was asked to the adults first, whether the senior got it right or not. The questions are pretty easy for a kid, and not as easy for an adult. But what makes it worth it is how Gervais interacts with the kids. He is a big lovable kid like them, so you cannot help but love watching him with them.
Together it all mashes well together, creating an enjoyable hour of television to end the week with. But if I am being honest, I could watch just an hour of Gervais with the kids. It is so sweet and we need to end the week on a happy note like this.
Therefore, tune in tonight and every Friday for a game show everyone can fall in love with.
The Match Game was back on ABC last night and it was the 💩. Actually, that was what happened on the game show yesterday.
Alec Baldwin was introducing the contestants and it was revealed that Juan could do bird calls. Of course, the host asked him to one. When he was done, Baldwin did his own and a dove flew out on the set. I guess the bird was not ready for its national TV debut because he took a 💩 on the floor. Either that, or it was telling the show what he really thinks about it.
Actually, the show was on 🔥 yesterday. They actually asked the panel, We have been looking at Lord of the Rings all wrong, instead of the ring being placed on the finger, it is placed on the blank. Guess what they all guessed? Everyone but Jason Ritter who drew a ring around the rosey.
If you are like me and wondered why they aired a Modern Family repeat instead of a new episode of The Mayor on Tuesday, we now know why. The Hollywood Reported is reporting that ABC cancelled the show effective immediately and that the show’s creator will be shopping it around.
Is the news a surprise? Not really because it did poorly in the ratings and never really found an audience. I wanted to like the sitcom, but it was missing something. I never figured out what it was, and now I will never know.
