Seriously, I don’t like it, except maybe for the Pushing Daisies part it just looks (and sounds) pretty awful, that song is annoying as Hell to me, and is it me or is there some ongoing annoying sound all he way through, like the ship is drowning or something…
At this point we have the fall schedule and premiere dates for all the main networks (ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC and The CW) so now the only thing that remains is for you to search for the information concerning the shows you love/are interested in.
To make things easier for everyone, I took back the complete new fall schedule compiled before premiere dates were known and updated it. You will find here the complete 2008 fall schedule day by day, with all shows on their slot with their premiere dates included. That way you can see how [insert day here] will be, try to see what you’ll watch and what you’ll have set on your DVR, and when things will be back.
And because sometimes you want to know things the other way around, know what will be on at a given time, I’ve also included the list of all premieres dates ordered by date. With all that, hopefully you should have all the information you need to get ready for next fall.
ABC just released their fall premiere dates, and if on some networks new episodes kick in as soon as early September, on ABC you’ll have to wait a bit longer to get your latest fix. Boston Legal is the first script series to come back, and that won’t happen until September 22 !!
Yep, that late. Could be worse though, imagine you were a fan of, say, Pushing Daisies or Dirty Sexy Money, then September won’t be easy on you, because they’re not returning to the air before October ! Though they do kick on on the first day of the month, if that’s any comfort… If you’re waiting for Samantha Who? or Eli Stone on the other hand, you don’t even get such comfort, as they will return respectively on October 6, and October 14 !
ABC new series are Opportunity Knocks, premiering on September 23; and Life On Mars, coming in much later, on October 9.
Interested in a full listing, followed by a complete listing of all shows premiere dates (ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC) ? It’s all after the jump !
And now the list for Best Supporting Drama Actress is out, and I’ll say that there are two big names I’m shocked not to see on that list, because I felt they should be actual nominees for the award : the first one is Sarah Shahi, from NBC’s Life. She’s been quite amazing the entire season opposing Damian Lewis, and I’m really shocked not to see her here. I guess it was to do with Life not getting lots of press somehow, even though it was simply the best new series of the season, hands down.
Well, I surely hope Damian Lewis won’t be overlooked either, because he is too doing some amazing job !
The second name I’m shocked not to see here is Mia Wasikowska, known as Sophie on HBO’s daily series In Treatment ! She was nothing but amazing, and I cannot believe she’s not on that list ! Eben more shocking to me, Dianne Wiest, from In Treatment as well, is. It’s not that she was bad, but I honestly feel Mia Wasikowska deserves the nomination a lot more, but I guess her name wasn’t known enough… what a bunch of crap!
ABC’s drama Dirty Sexy Money was already back in production for its second season, with three episodes already done, when everything had to be shut down, due to behind-the-scenes “adjustments”.
Showrunner Daniel Cerone is out, after the studios didn’t deem fit the new direction for the show Cerone had in mind. Cerone wanted the show to take a darker turn for its second season, but apparently the studios want the show to keep things very superficial and light I guess, which kinda suck if you ask me, but then again I was never really a fan of the show anyways.
Daniel Cerone, who used to be a showrunner on Showtime’s Dexter before, has now stepped down as executive producer/showrunner of Dirty Sexy Money after four months, and will be replaced with Jon Feldman - who has previously created Fox’s Tru Calling or another 2007 ABC drama series, Big Shots - who will be the third showrunner in the show’s short life, after Josh Reims and Daniel Cerone since February 2008.

The Good
This season ABC showed to be understanding of the situation, and decided to give a real chance to new series that had proven to be of quality, renewing Pushing Daisies, of course, but also Eli Stone or Dirty Sexy Money. And while I have mixed feelings over their treatment of Lost, overall it played out very nicely, offering us the best season to date and a fantastic 3-hour season finale ! Way to go.
So, now that all networks have had their upfronts and made their official fall schedule known, it will be your turn to work : you need to learn it, you now have to remember where your favorites shows, as well as newcomers you’re interested in, have ended up. When will they air ? When should you tune in, and to which network ? How to set your DVR and get your new TV viewing habits in place ?
Okay, we have the entire summer to get used to it, but let’s have a look at what how seeks will be like next starting next September, shall we ?
After the jump you’ll find next fall complete schedule for the entire week for ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC and The CW. Just pick the shows you’re interested in!
The new schedule for ABC is now official, and truth be told it looks very much like the old one, that that’s by design. As McPherson said, “We’re returning our dominant core group of shows from last fall. The few openings we had we’ve filled with the kind of quality programming viewers have come to expect from ABC, and we have a very strong bench.”
Full schedule, recap and reactions after the jump!
* You have probably heard of this already, but one of the Darlings from Dirty Sexy Money won’t be seen as much next season.
Samaire Armstrong, who plays Juliet, hasn’t left the show, but she won’t be a series regular next season, only a recurring character, so you can expect to see a lot less of one of the twins.
* Another indication that Cashmere Mafia will not be renewed : one of its star, Lucy Liu, is in negotiations to join the cast of another ABC drama, Dirty Sexy Money, as a series regular.
Liu is said to play an attorney, but it’s not known whether she will be working for the Darlings, or against them.
Lots of move behind the scenes of quite a lot of shows these days…
* First Josh Reims left ABC new drama Dirty Sexy Money and was replaced by Daniel Cerone. This was a planned move, and don’t expect any major change initiated from Cerone. “Since the pilot, I felt like the show had some of the best potential for storytelling and exploration of characters both on the light and the dark side. (..) It’s more about keeping all the best elements and adding as much intrigue, drama and danger as we possibly can.”
Cerone, who was co-executive producer on Dexter, won’t be alone to try to turn the show into a really good show - not that it’s bad, but I always felt like it’s missing something to really be good - as he’ll be working with creator Craig Wright (Lost), Greg Berlanti (Brothers & Sisters), Matthew Gross and Bryan Singer (House).
Dirty Sexy Money won’t be coming back this season, but ABC already ordered 13 episodes for a second season.
