 Re: ABC 2011/12 Libs wrote: I'm a Katherine Heigl apologist but the show instantly picked up when she left, not gonna lie. I always thought Heigl was excellent on the show but hatedhatedhatedhated Izzie after the first couple of seasons. lol, 100% dissagree. The show was at its best when Izzie had the biggest/main storyline (aka 2nd and 5th seasons) and since she left GA fell in quality. You want an example? the 7th season finale is easily the worst finale in the show's history, I mean it wasn't even a good mid-season episode, let alone a season finale. _________________

Re: ABC 2011/12 I agree that as much as I enjoyed season 7, the finale was mediocre and definitely the worst of the series thus far. Then again, following the BRILLIANT finales of season 5 and 6 (I still consider the "it's George" moment to be one of the most shocking moments on television in recent memory, and the shooting episode was perfect as well) it would be hard to live up to that.

Re: ABC 2011/12 Got several of the ABC pilots in at work today, some that were picked up and a few that weren't.
I just watched "Hallelujah" and I'm not surprised at all that it didn't get picked up. It isn't horrible and is moderately intriguing but it ends up being quite goofy and over-the-top. The Southern stereotypes are ridiculous and the material is beneath actors such as Terry O'Quinn. Also, I expected it to be much more fantasy-based than it actually ended up being.
I have "Pan Am" and "Once Upon A Time" to watch later.

Re: ABC 2011/12 "Once Upon A Time" was great! I'm a total sucker for those kinds of shows though. But it had a very cinematic quality to it and is family friendly enough that I could see it succeeding in the Sunday 8pm slot. I love the concept and the performances in it were very good. Ginnifer Goodwin and Robert Carlyle in particular were standouts. I can't wait for the next episode.

Re: ABC 2011/12 "Pan Am" was fantastic, and should be a breath of fresh air in the ABC Sunday lineup.

Re: ABC 2011/12 I'm kinda glad Once Upon a Time is premiering rather late. By that time I'll probably give up on a couple of new shows that end up bad.

Re: ABC 2011/12 My bet is on "Revenge" getting cancelled first out of the bunch, which is a shame because supposedly the pilot is very good.

Re: ABC 2011/12 I agree with OUAT premiering late. For one, we're assured episodes during sweeps. Yay!

Re: ABC 2011/12 ABC's crop looks pathetic. It seems like they won't even get a critic's darling this season. Well at least Once Upon a Time doesn't seem to look like it's horrible. Though this summary is missing Good Christian Bitches, which seems like it will be ABC's standout show the following season.
EDIT: I mistakenly put Apartment 23 in CBS section. This gives ABC at least one good reviewed show I guess. And it seems like every big network has one good to great comedy show, but they kinda failed in the drama department if these first impressions are anything to go by...

Re: ABC 2011/12 The ads on ABC for Once Upon a Time are very good. I really want to see it. Hope it succeeds.

Re: ABC 2011/12 My three choices were: Charlie's Angels, Missing & The River.
I've seen the promo for Pan-Am and it does absolutely nothing for me. It's in a tough lineup against CSI: Miami, Sunday Night Football, Dexter and The Walking Dead ...... I think it will end up getting cancelled.
