Network Interference: ABC
May 15th, 2012Last year around this time I posted about the new TV shows the major television networks announced for the upcoming television year. I thought I would do something along those lines again. For this post I’m going to focus on a few of ABC’s new shows. There’s nothing that really appeals to me. Luckily ABC renewed Happy Endings and Revenge, so I’ll still tune in for that.
The Neighbors
Hey, remember last year when ABC made Work It? Or in 1996 when they made Aliens in the Family? Clearly ABC executives do not because they are making this show. The Neighbors is about a family that moves in to a suburban community only to discover that everybody who lives there is an alien.
666 Park Avenue
The impression I get is American Horror Story-lite. It’s about a haunted apartment building? Not sure what it’s about. Is it trying to be sexy? Or scary? Both? I dunno. The idea seems interesting, so I’ll check out the first couple episodes of this show.
Last Resort
This is one of those shows that sound both bad and good at the same time. After disobeying an order to nuke a nation, a nuclear powered US submarine goes rouge. They find themselves a quiet little island and declare themselves an independent nation. Then some drama happens. The trailer doesn’t impress me, but I still like the idea.
How to Live With Your Parents (for the Rest of Your Life)
Seems like ABC’s answer to FOX’s Raising Hope. It also reminds me of The Middle. In the end it will probably just make me miss Cougar Town.
The Family Tools
“To get this family back in business, he’d better nail it.” Did you see what they did there? It’s about a family construction business and hilarity ensues once the klutz of a son takes over.
Zero Hour
Did you ever wish they would adapt The Da Vinci Code into a TV series? Well here you go! Zero Hour is something about 12 clocks, a clandestine society, nazis and demon babies. You know, it’s a show for the whole family.
