Dancing with the Stars Junior is exactly what it sounds like, the same show with younger celebrity contestants doing ballroom dancing. The Alec Baldwin Show is an interview show. As for the other new shows:

A MILLION LITTLE THINGS - ABC's attempt to rip off This Is Us. A group of long time Boston friends feel stuck in their lives until one of them dies unexpectedly. David Giuntoli from Grimm and Ron Livingston head an ensemble cast.

THE ROOKIE - Nathan Fillion becomes the oldest rookie officer in the LAPD.

THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT - About an Irish Catholic working class family in 1970's Los Angeles.

SINGLE PARENTS - Just what it sounds like. A group of single parents trying to raise a bunch of seven-year-olds who are in the same class.

The Bachelor/Bachelorette, For the People, and American Idol will return after the first of the year. Marvel's Agents of Shield will return in summer of 2019 for a shortened run. Designated Survivor, The Crossing, Deception, Kevin Probably Saves the World, The Mayor, Quantico, Marvel's Inhumans, and Alex, Inc., have been cancelled. Scandal, Once Upon a Time, and The Middle concluded this season.

I'm glad to see that Marvel's Agents of Shield will be coming back. I'll be interested to see whether, and how, they integrate the series into the developments that occurred in Avengers: Infinity War. I'm guessing we'll start to see that in the season finale. --Bob

They've already started - there have been mentions of Thanos and things going on in NYC. Plus Talbot (Graviton) said he wanted to go fight alongside the Avengers. What will be worth waiting for is to see who survived and who was turned to ash.

That's what I had in mind. I just thought there might be people interested in the movie who haven't yet seen it. Perhaps you'd care to add a spoiler to your post? --Bob

Anyone who's managed to avoid the spoilers is probably not interested in the movie.

Not necessarily. I can't always rush right out and see something, for several reasons...sometimes it does take a good month or so to grab a day out.

Luckily in this case I HAVE seen the movie.

Aaaannnnndd...

The only show left on ABC for me is Speechless...and Agents of Shield which apparently won't run until summer of 2019.


None of these "new" shows are in the least bit tempting.

My projected major network viewing time is rapidly fading away like that picture of the three McFly kids in Back To The Future.

Word now is that Netflix is looking to bring back Designated Survivor.
