MONDAY
SHILO: 8:00 Dancing with the Stars; 10:00 The Good Doctor
CRAIG: 8:00 Dancing with the Stars; 10:00 The Good Doctor
ACTUAL SCHEDULE: 8:00 Dancing with the Stars; 10:00 The Good Doctor
SHILO: I’m guessing that if ABC could’ve found a slot that made sense for The Good Doctor, they would have. Dancing with the Stars is a pretty decent live lead-in and I know they want to grow their drama slate, but The Good Doctor is a major win for the affiliates and ABC’s boxed themselves into a schedule with very few 9:00 slot available. The only question here is whether the network will air The Good Doctor as a split-season with something new after The Bachelor or if they’ll be trying to premiere another new drama next spring.
CRAIG: I assume something new will come in the Spring since The Good Doctor at least this year did less than 22 episodes. Something’s gotta fit in. Grand Hotel maybe?
