Fall TV scorecard: Which shows are returning? Which aren't?
As for Revenge's move from Wednesdays to Sundays, following Once Upon a Time, Lee said, "Both have real cinematic ambition. They're going to be a great pairing." Lee also has high hopes for new drama series 666 Park Avenue, which is positioned at 10/9c after Revenge. "This show is as delicious as its lead-in. It has a fabulous cast and a real dark twist to it... Sunday night will be a battle between good and evil from 8 until 11."Nashville, starringHayden Panettiere and Connie Britton, will take over Revenge's Wednesday slot — a move Lee calls a "win" for both shows.ABC's Fall Schedule: Revenge to Sundays; TGIF comedy block returns
In November, the network wants to resurrect TGIF, turning Fridays into "a destination for broad family entertainment." The comedy block — featuring Tim Allen's Last Man Standing and Reba McEntire's new series Malibu Country — will be followed by Shark Tank, a show Lee says the network was "very patient with.""I seem to remember Jimmy Kimmel taking cracks at me for it last year, but it has become a huge asset for us. People love it, families watch it together. We think it's really an anchor for our Friday night."Lee is confident that midseason newcomer Zero Hour will be a "crowd-pleaser," comparing it to The Da Vinci Code. It marks Anthony Edwards first prime-time series since leaving ER 10 years ago. Mistresses and Red Widow will also debut midseason. Who do you want to join Dancing with the Stars All-Stars?
