FURTHER THOUGHTS FROM CRAIG
Most Surprising (Possible) Renewal: Though I included it on my schedule, Quantico would surprise me, but then again, there’s that Priyanka Chopra factor. The Real O’Neals would shock me, especially considering at least two of its cast members went out for new pilots this year.
Show That Likely Won’t Be Renewed But Should Be: I know this may sound boring, but I think any show that is worthy to be renewed, probably will be. Last Man Standing, as I mentioned, might be the biggest one on the bubble to worry about, and I’d put that in the “should” folder.
Possible Scheduling Disaster: American Idol could ruin everything, especially knowing how ABC likes to strip a success. Remember when the network was nearly run into the ground by Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
Possible Biggest Surprise: ABC could give the Sunday 8:00 hour to comedies already, maybe cancelling Once Upon a Time in the process.
Safest Bet: Marvel’s Inhumans wil lair on Tuesday nights. (I think it’s already been announced, actually.)
Project I’m Rooting For: Household Name. A Carol Burnett-starring sitcom that I’m rooting for so much that I hope ABC passes it so NBC can run with it after Will and Grace.
