Downward Dog - Airing After The Bachelorette

Jan 24, 2017

Thanks to Jovan and A for the heads up.

It wasn’t ABC that submitted the episodes to Sundance; that was done by Legendary, the studio behind the sitcom. In contention for the coveted Tuesday 9:30 pm slot for mid-season, Downward Dog lost out to Imaginary Mary with Jenna Elfman. The network, chock full of successful comedies, had no mid-season slots left to offer, which meant it could only unleash Downward Dog in summer.

Granted, the eight episodes will air right after The Bachelorette, a strong lead in for a show targeting a female demo, but summer bows pale in comparison to fall and mid-season slots. The episodes were given a hearty introduction by Sundance director John Cooper, not by ABC brass. At this point, the hope of the show’s producers is that the Sundance buzz prompts another outlet — ABC has a tight relationship with original programming-hungry Hulu, for instance — to step up and adopt the stray. Seems like the masters of this pooch are intent on howling until it escapes the summer doghouse.
