ABC 2016 Fall Schedule: Thursdays No Longer 'Shondaland' As 'Scandal' Shifts To Midseason [VIDEO]
ABC has released their full TV schedule for Fall 2016, with some surprising schedule changes and interesting new shows in the mix.
It's ABC's turn to unveil their plans for the 2016-17 season as upfronts continue this week. The network previously renewed most of their long-running shows, which are mostly staying put in their regular timeslots. But it is also interesting to see which new shows are being heavily promoted with prime timeslots of their own.
Mondays will continue as always with Dancing With the Stars from 8-10 p.m. ET/PT. This will be followed by the new Hayley Atwell-led series Conviction at 10 p.m.
On Tuesdays, The Middle has moved from its regular Wednesday post. It will now air Tuesdays at 8 p.m., leading into the new show American Housewife at 8:30 p.m., followed by two other popular ABC comedies, Fresh Off the Boat at 9 p.m. and The Real O'Neals at 9:30 p.m. And Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will now air Tuesdays at 10 p.m.
Wednesdays will be slightly different, with The Goldbergs shifting to 8 p.m., which leads into the new sitcom Speechless. Then there's the usual Modern Family and black-ish at 9 p.m. and 9:30 p.m., respectively. The new Kiefer Sutherland drama Designated Survivor will air at 10 p.m.
Thursdays will no longer be exclusively Shondaland shows. Grey's Anatomy will continue to air Thursdays at 8 p.m., but the new show Notorious (which is not from megaproducer Shonda Rhimes) will air at 9 p.m. This leads into How to Get Away with Murder at 10 p.m.
Fridays are staying exactly the same as this current TV season, with Last Man Standing at 8 p.m., Dr. Ken at 9 p.m., Shark Tank at 9 p.m. and 20/20 at 10 p.m.
Saturdays are devoted exclusively to football.
Sundays has America's Funniest Home Videos at 7 p.m. and Once Upon a Time at 8 p.m. Then it's the return of Secrets and Lies at 9 p.m., which leads into Quantico at 10 p.m.
Meanwhile, Scandal, The Catch and American Crime will return at midseason, along with the premieres of new shows Downward Dog, Imaginary Mary, Still Star Crossed and Time After Time.
