ABC announced its fall schedule on Tuesday: http://cdn.media.abc.go.com/m/pdf/sh...2012_print.pdf

Previews of the new shows: http://beta.abc.go.com/shows/new-sho...pfronts_201213

None of the new shows really grab me. Most of the dramas seem pretty soapy, except for Last Resort, which I'm not sure about yet.

I like this summary of Last Resort from tv.com: "it's the only show on ABC geared toward humans with a penis."

By putting Last Man Standing and Malibu Country on Friday nights, it looks like ABC is trying to bring back the TGIF Friday night comedy block, but it appears that they're targeting the parents of the kids who used to watch Full House and Family Matters. Their kids are now grown up and out of the house, and the parents are old and boring and have nothing better to do on a Friday night than watch crappy sitcoms.

Sadly, Malibu Country will probably crush Community in the ratings.
