Our weeklong breakdown of each broadcast network’s new fall shows hits the midway point today with ABC. The network slipped to No. 4 last season among 18- to 49-year-olds after an ugly fall in which only two of its five freshman shows survived (most disappointingly, its most-anticipated arrival, The Muppets, attracted large audiences initially, only to subsequently drive them away). ABC did have a breakout fall hit in Quantico, but that wasn't enough to save then-chief Paul Lee, who departed the network in February.
For her first fall as ABC Entertainment president, Channing Dungey will be missing one of the network's most important assets after it held Scandal until midseason to accommodate Kerry Washington’s pregnancy.
