We’ve reached the midpoint of Adweek’s week-long look at each broadcast network’s new fall shows. Today, the spotlight is on ABC, which last season came in third among adults ages 18 to 49, but in recent years has made substantial progress in building formidable programming blocks on multiple nights.

Because of that, ABC’s fall schedule leaves four nights untouched from last season: Mondays (Dancing with the Stars and Castle), Wednesdays (comedies The Middle, The Goldbergs, Modern Family and Black-ish, followed by Nashville), Thursdays (Shonda Rhimes' TGIT trio of Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder) and Saturdays (college football).
