ABC has always had a family/women centered programming and this year it is trying something a little bit different. There is something for everyone on ABC this season, so you should check out what they have to offer. 2014 ABC FALL SCHEDULE:

So its official the Hammer has come down for shows struggling on ABC. The Friday and Saturdays before Upfront presentations are typically brutal and this year was no exception. The list of shows that will not be returning is extensive and so far is mostly comedy based. The class hit the hardest seems to be ABC’s freshman crop of shows, with more than half of them ending their first season never to return.   Both Suburgatory and Mixology are being shopped to other networks like TBS, bu it is unlikely that either one will get a reprieve from dooms day. All the other shows have been renewed, but the size of the order and when the show will return, and what new series will join it is all up in the air and will only be resolved after ABC’s Upfronts May 12th 2014. Yell and scream about your favorite show being cancelled in the Comments!

Sorry Gladiators! There will be less Scandal in 2014, to be precise there will be four less episodes of Scandal than originally planned. ABC has cut Scandal's Season 3 (the season airing right now) episode order from 22 episodes to 18 episodes. From a numbers point of view, Scandal is the one of the highest rated dramas if not the highest rated drama on ABC.  ABC hasn't give an official reason, but this cutback is likely due to the pregnancy of star Kerry Washington. Kerry Washington is due in Spring. Shooting around Kerry Washington's pregnancy has been difficult, but shooting during her last trimester would have been next to impossible and since Kerry Washington is the head Gladiator in Charge, writing Olivia out of a few episodes was not an option.
