The big news is there is a shakeup in Shondaland!  Scandal will not be returning until mid-season 2017 because one of the main stars, Kerry Washington, is pregnant in real-life and the pregnancy is not being written into the show. ABC is filling the gap with a new series called Notorious. Don’t worry! There are plenty of good shows written by Shonda Rhimes including favorites such as Grey’s Anatomy and How To Get Away With Murder still in the lineup plus Scandal will be returning. Phew!

  1. The muppets? I never watched what i’m guessing was a reboot of the show. I don’t think something like that works in this day and age for primetime.

  2. Designated Survivor sounds really interesting. I rarely watch Television as I am online streaming Netflix or DramaFever. Oh, thank goodness America’s Funniest videos made it through. ^_^

  3. My mother-in-law is absolutely crushed that Nashville was cancelled! Thanks for the lineup! This will make it handy when planning out our tv schedule!

  4. I always love watching new TV shows that are interesting & The ABC Network primetime TV lineup sounds so great with lots of them which I would love to watch. American Housewife & Notorious would top my list on these new lineups!
