The TGIT Branding Returns to ABC Tonight, but the Campaign’s Future Is Unclear

With the network’s Shonda Rhimes inventory dwindling, tough decisions lie ahead

Beginning tonight, it’s TGIT time again at ABC.

The branded programming block, which the network created in fall 2014, refers to a trio of Thursday night dramas, all of which are produced by Shonda Rhimes. The original group—Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal and How to Get Away With Murder—has given away to the current lineup: Grey’s, Grey’s spinoff Station 19 (back from its midseason hiatus) and legal drama For the People, which premieres its second season tonight.
