“QUANTICO”

A diverse group of recruits have arrived at the FBI Quantico Base for training. They are the best, the brightest and the most vetted, so it seems impossible that one of them is suspected of masterminding the biggest attack on New York City since 9/11.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Yea!!!!! Im shaking right now cause I'm excited

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  18. Forever has been cancelled.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I feel bad for the people in Europe sleeping...

    ReplyDelete
  20. No surprises there, but sad for the fans :S

    ReplyDelete
  21. No surprise but who is reporting it?

    ReplyDelete
  22. LA Crime was picked up too. That was my last favorite, The Shondaland show was a sure thing, nothing to worry about. Sad about Kingmaker tho :(

    ReplyDelete
  23. THANK GOD FOR BOOM!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Totally agree, though there's isn't really that much competition.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I'm a little intrigued by "The Family", I like Joan Allen.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Alice Evans, the wife. It's on twitter

    ReplyDelete
  27. Yay for Quantico and The Catch! Looking forward to their trailers. I guess no SHIELD spinoff then? Oh well. Come on Agent Carter!!

    ReplyDelete
  28. what boom about

    ReplyDelete
  29. They will deal with Marvel in a bi. Last year, Shield renewal and Carter pick up were announced apart from everything else.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I'm thinking Of Kings and Prophets is gonna be more like "Kings" than "AD".

    ReplyDelete
  31. Aaaah okay. Thanks for letting me know and the fast reply! :)

    ReplyDelete
  32. I hope that the pilot with Martha Plimpton will be ordered to series !

    ReplyDelete
  33. Omg so happy for Quantico, The catch and the jenna bans show.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Joe Adalian says history will be made in the next few minutes.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Christopher DeBonoMay 8, 2015 at 2:45 AM

    Hey ABC...Agent Carter please?

    ReplyDelete
  36. Me too, those three ;)

    ReplyDelete
  37. Ohhhhh whose Joe Adalian?????

    ReplyDelete
  38. Will be checking out Quantico just to see how Priyanka Chopra fares. Quite excited to see her in a U.S show.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Me too, even though at this point I want it more just a way to stop Chevy from getting post MF.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Curious - why all the hype about "Quantico"?

    ReplyDelete
  41. Quantico will make me forget about the kingmakers.

    ReplyDelete
  42. THE MUPPETS and THE REAL O'NEALS and DR. KEN have been picked up by ABC

    ReplyDelete
  43. ABC has ordered The Muppets, Dr. Ken and Real O'Neals

    ReplyDelete
  44. AC and AOS will probably be annouce together

    ReplyDelete
  45. Comedies ‘The Muppets’, ‘Dr. Ken’ & ‘The Real O’Neals’ Get ABC Series Orders

    ReplyDelete
  46. Come on! NBA, make it! Even if it is midseason!

    ReplyDelete
  47. ew The Muppets. I ahte those things D:

    ReplyDelete
  48. I'm curious about what he meant

    ReplyDelete
  49. ABC has just ordered it !

    ReplyDelete
  50. The Catch is lucky that it is a Shondaland production. If not, it's probably not on schedule. It'll last as long as Off The Map. 1 season and likely done. Boom won't survive, it's too niche. Of Prophets and Kings will die as hard as AD did this year. If Boom isn't the first drama cancellation on ABC, Of Prophets and Kings will be.

    As for the others, The Family may have a shot if paired up with Secret and Lies. Anywhere else on schedule and it's a bust. LA Crime has a real shot, it's fantastic. Tuesdays at 10 PM seems like an option. Quantico is the other fantastic pickup. If LA Crime doesn't go Tuesdays at 10 PM, Quantico should.

    ReplyDelete
  51. I think it will make it. And it should be for January imo, to take advantage of NBA itself.

    ReplyDelete
  52. I think it's because the people that read the script for the pilot have said it was the best one this season, similar to How to Get Away with Murder.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Sad about Kingmakers D: I hope they dont give up and maybe go for cable?
    L.A Crime and The Catch. Im gonna watch those.

    ReplyDelete
  54. If more than one of the ABC dramas listed here makes it past its first season I'll be shocked.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Can't ABC renew their current show first

    ReplyDelete
  56. No surprise on The Muppets. Sundays seems like a lock on that show.


    Good luck selling The Real O'Neals to Christians. But Paul Lee has to make one stupid comedy pickup each year. Dr. Ken was OK, but I don't see how it finds an audience.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Don't think I'll be watching any of these either :/

    ReplyDelete
  58. OUAT and Galavant were the first to get the nods. More should be coming soon

    ReplyDelete
  59. The Real O'Neals is a much better choice than Chev!! I don't think it would fit that badly post MF.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Hope we get something on AOS, it's spin-off and that secret project.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I really can't recommend any of the three after Modern Family. Hopefully, there will be more comedy pickups. If not, maybe Dr. Ken. But I'm not confident in that recommendation at all.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Omg ABC has the best drama line up among all networks. It's incredible. Unless the trailers suck, I can honestly say I'm interested in watching every single one of those pilots. Although I liked the name Original Sin better than The Family. I just have no idea how will they fit all these in their schedule.

    ReplyDelete
  63. He did a followup tweet.
    https://twitter.com/TVMoJoe/status/596492320742055936

    ReplyDelete
  64. I know but I guess there are taking their time with AOS/AC Castle, GA scandal

    ReplyDelete
  65. The name change isn't a bad move if they plan to air it Wednesdays at 10 and want it to fit better with the comedies.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Maybe they won't be ready on time and that is why so many dramas were picked. I can't see where ABC will squeeze two more.

    ReplyDelete
  67. I really hope they don't put a multi cam after MF, that would be horrible.

    ReplyDelete
  68. To me, The Family works best with an emotional title like Secrets & Lies. But that may just be my selfish bias in how to schedule it.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Makes sense. But isn't the subject too dark to follow a comedy block?

    ReplyDelete
  70. I want to see AC renewed so badly!
    I imagine they are just getting the last details ready to announce the renewals

    ReplyDelete
  71. Depends on episodes orders I guess, and one could be a bridge show if AC is cancelled (which I had forgotten about until just there :/ )

    ReplyDelete
  72. Well, I dunno, Is it darker than, say, Revenge was its first year? It was the most successful thing they've had in the slot.

    ReplyDelete
  73. At least three of the series are rumored to be 15 episodes or less (The Family, Wicked City, Of Kings...").

    ReplyDelete
  74. Never thought Revenge was dark. It was very soap opera with a touch of procedural.

    ReplyDelete
  75. The original title Fresh and Blood was the best. I liked Original Sin as well.

    ReplyDelete
  76. The Catch should also be limited if the goal is to timeshare it with Murder.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Eh. The Family is the only one here that I might check out when it airs. Good cast there. But they all have such dull loglines...

    ReplyDelete
  78. I can't see how The Catch goes more than 15 episodes. I figure it shares a timeslot with How To Get Away With Murder.

    ReplyDelete
  79. Yeah I guess you are right. But will this one be darker than that?

    ReplyDelete
  80. I'm really excited for Quantico and The Family.

    ReplyDelete
  81. You read my mind. That's exactly what I typed while you were writing this.

    ReplyDelete
  82. They could time share the slot? Secrets and Lies was 10 episodes this season and The Family is rumored to be 15 episodes.

    ReplyDelete
  83. 15 is already very hard to fit in, since one of them would have to air a considerable amount of eps sans Scandal, which only does 22. I would say 10 is most likely.

    ReplyDelete
  84. I don't think so. It looks like a soap with a mystery. Perfect for wednesdays.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Cristela has been cancelled.

    ReplyDelete
  86. I'm really curious if that means the Friday comedy block is dead.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Last Man Standing has a new showrunner for season 5 so it will be renewed.

    ReplyDelete
  88. You are probably correct about the Catch. Mireille Enos might have requested the "Viola Davis deal" and is only willing to do 15 episodes as well.

    ReplyDelete
  89. Has NBC done with picking? " The Curse of The Fuentes Woman" is dead ?

    ReplyDelete
  90. when does CBS start picking up new show?

    ReplyDelete
  91. So has Resurrection

    ReplyDelete
  92. Guess it depends on what happened to the son while he was missing in terms of how dark the show is. Bans is the writer that did Sea of Fire pilot last season.

    ReplyDelete
  93. On paper this sounds like it's gonna be the worst freshman class for ABC in like a decade at least.

    ReplyDelete
  94. ABC has renewed everything but LMS, Forever, Cristela and Resurrection.

    ReplyDelete
  95. confirmed?

    ReplyDelete
  96. http://variety.com/2015/tv/news/abc-forever-cristela-resurrection-cancelled-1201490485/

    ReplyDelete
  97. Wonder what happened to the shield spin off.

    ReplyDelete
  98. Hurray the Catch!

    ReplyDelete
  99. Wow. The ABC schedule fall/midseason/bridge should be interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  100. need to fix the page with all the remaining ABC show renews.....it not working properly

    ReplyDelete
  101. All for The Catch might check the others hope they pick up Broad City

    ReplyDelete
  102. Yes quantico !! I'm so happy ABC picked it up
    Agent carter and as are renewed too best day ever!

    ReplyDelete
  103. I knew the catch was gonna get picked up

    ReplyDelete
  104. I don't know. Maybe not. It's just the fact the boy was kidnapped and a possible plot of abuse which concerns me. He is old and alive, but who knows if we will have flashbacks.

    ReplyDelete
  105. Cool! Quantico Made it! XD (Just holding out for Limitless and Minority Report)

    ReplyDelete
  106. Quantico,BOOM & The Catch all made it-WHAT A DAY!
    I love you,ABC!

    ReplyDelete
  107. Does this mean the rest have been passed or not?

    ReplyDelete
  108. PC is a good enough actress to be in a U.S. show.i think her recent film mary kom(2014) was the one which made her noticed by the casting manager of abc.

    ReplyDelete
  109. i doubt quantico will be a 22 ep per season.

    ReplyDelete
  110. I'm a bit curious for Quantico, (formerly) Boom, and maybe Family but overall I'm quite indifferent.

    ReplyDelete
  111. What dramas were passed on ?

    ReplyDelete
  112. Eh, not immediately interested in any of these.

    ReplyDelete
  113. tl dr
    whats the genre for them all?

    ReplyDelete
  114. Thank U ABC!
    5 new shows for me!
    Kings and Prophets!
    Wicked City and Boom!
    The Catch!
    The Family!



    CAN'T WAIT FOR THE TRAILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  115. YESSS Quantico!!!! And Boom!! Very happy with these orders!

    ReplyDelete
  116. Yes for Boom, The Catch and Quantico


    Very sad for The Advocate


    So far, CW and ABC DID NOT pick my favorite pilots & FOX and CBS PICKED my favorite pilots. Kinda sucks, because The Advocate and Cheerleader were my absolute favorites


    Still waiting for NBC's Fuentes Women

    ReplyDelete
  117. CBS hasn't picked up anything yet I believe. Only passed on LFE.

    ReplyDelete
  118. Wait....
    Andrew McCarthy is still alive? XD


    Ok, that shock over....
    I will give Boom a 3-episode trial for Delroy Lindo and Scott Michael Foster, but it sounds like it could turn out to be just another nighttime soap opera...


    The Family and Quantico will get pilot watches to see if they can win me over, but the others are outright passes where I have no interest whatsoever. Overall none of the ABC dramas have a high anticipation factor from me.. No surprise.

    ReplyDelete
  119. And i just found out that Fuentes Women is dead :(

    ReplyDelete
  120. Right, forgot about that one.

    NBC should pick up more series, but you say Fuentes is dead? Hadn't heard about that.

    ReplyDelete
  121. Hollywoodreporter says it is dead, sadly

    ReplyDelete
  122. I just read it. Sorry for you!

    ReplyDelete
  123. We might say goodbye to Gallavant, Agent Carter, AOS & OUAT next year ABC orderrd too much shows. It needs space... :(

    ReplyDelete
  124. i'm just happy about priyanka and her quantico. not sure whether i'm going to check it out though

    ReplyDelete
  125. The Catch, Wicked City and Quantico look kind of interesting. I'll check out The Family. Not too sure about "formerly Boom" sounds like a soap which, for me means, characters are extremely important.

    ReplyDelete
  126. Quantico and The family looks interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  127. ABC looks so boring next season! Nothing remotely creative and literally every Shonda show sounds exactly the same.


    KINGS AND PROPHETS could be interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  128. I'll wait for the trailers to come out. Right now, none of these sounds interesting, and ABC is the network I watched the most...

    ReplyDelete
  129. Not sure how happy I am to see Boom picked up, wonder if Scott Michael Foster can do both shows. I hope so, I love him on Chasing Life.

    ReplyDelete
  130. I can outright guarantee you that Agents of Shield will be renewed next year and I have a hard time imagining OUAT dropping enough to be cancelled.

    ReplyDelete
  131. I am with you, except for probably Kings and Prophets. Some of these I will watch almost for sure (both Shondas, Quantico), while others could easily get me as well depending on trailer (Boom, LA Crime)

    ReplyDelete
  132. :) let's wait & see. I hope you are right. 1.7 is decent but lower than that OUAT risks.

    ReplyDelete
  133. it's not a hit anymore sadly.

    ReplyDelete
  134. Wicked City is the only show that interests me purely on the storyline/content.
    But almost all of the other shows include actors and actresses that I enjoy, so I'll inevitably be forced to give the show a shot purely for them. The Catch (Mireille Enos and Bethany Joy Lenz), The Family (Allison Pill), Kings and Prophets (Maisie Richardson Sellers), Pate & Fishburne (Don Johnson), so it looks like I'll be pretty busy for the first couple of weeks of the fall season. Although I'm sure with at least a few of these I can drop them after a couple episodes. Why do shows that don't interest me insist on casting people I want to watch!?

    ReplyDelete
  135. I don't think I'll watch Kings and Prophets either, but I expect it to be like The Dove, a very short series. My country has a tradition with Biblical series, we even have a biblical soap opera right now which is a hit. So I actually don't expect America to do better than what I'm used.

    ReplyDelete
  136. I agree, but I wouldn't worry too much...
    Last year SMF was on 18 episodes of Chasing Life, 7 of Halt and Catch Fire and 9 of Once Upon a Time.

    ReplyDelete
  137. I want Kingmakersssss !!!

    ReplyDelete
  138. Yes!!!! The Catch and Wicked City aka LA Crime got picked up!! Now Taissa Farmiga is back on my screen again!

    ReplyDelete
  139. Plus it has Priyanka Chopra, a Bollywood actress who is pretty big in the subcontinent.

    ReplyDelete
  140. If it weren't for the screeners, I would go nowhere near Kings & Prophets. Boom also sounds pretty boring.
    I am only interested in Quantico and The Catch among these.

    ReplyDelete
  141. I'm really excited for Of Kings and Prophets, but it makes me so nostalgic about Kings. It was the same biblical story adapted in a modern fictional setting. It was amazing but got cancelled way too soon.
