ABC is a joke now. Since SPIN CITY left, they cannot produce a great sitcom. Even DREW CAREY is unpopular, unfunny and just wreaks of desperation now.
Disney got rid of any common sense (As if they had much to begin with LOL) with MILLIONARE by airing it five nights a week, thus handing the show its death warrant. THE BACHELOR & THE BACHELORETTE craze went away faster than William Shatner's figure :lol: , THE PRACTICE has seen much better days, and ABC cannot seem to even produce any decent & respectable cheap television specials.

Not a single new drama that appeared on ABC survived for a second season. That is sad. There is hope for the show though. Rumor is that USA Network may pick it up.

It seems like they just don't know what they have, or how to use it. It seems to me that the first order of business at ABC would be to resurrect TGIF, with new sitcoms that are aimed at families. After all, they have ABC Family and/or the Disney Channel to offer for second showings later (as they seem to be into these days, even if things like "The Bachelorette" just do not belong on a channel named "Family.")
Anyway, ABC needs some long-term, positive attention with FUN programs that make people laugh, as well as a few good dramas at 10:00. All of these types of shows take time to nurture, unlike stupid "reality" shows that blow up your schedule and then fizzle out in a season. But the investment is worth it in the long run, both for familiarity and for recognition of the ABC network as the family, trustworthy network it always played best as.
And, by the way, Wonderful World needs some attention, too. It should have a consistent host and not just be a random movie off the Disney shelf. A good, consistent host will help tie things together and encourage return audience. It almost seems like Disney/ABC doesn't believe in their product anymore, and it shows.
Most of the reason that anthology shows like Wonderful World and Twilight Zone worked before (and still would) was because of the trust built in, and some of that was guided by the host (like Walt or Rod Serling) or narrator.
Just my two cents. ABC has to build trust, and it should be with complete family audiences in mind most of the time, especially in their still-familiar Friday strength.

Eisner doesn't seem to believe in the Disney name anymore. He has built a totally new empire now, and has left the ideals and principles of the Walt Disney Company on the backburner. WDHV releases of older Disney films and cartoon shorts is great, but that doesn't negate/overshadow the big picture; ie what the company stands for nowadays. It is sad; it makes me angry; and it is an outright insult to not only Walt Disney, but also his family, friends and everybody who worked so dilegently in helping to
achieve his dreams & to establish the guiding principles that played such a huge role in shaping the company ... principles that Eisner himself has literally spat upon.

The Wonderful World of Disney is bombing in the ratings. The past couple of movies have gotten an average of 8 million viewers which is pretty bad considering the average is 11 million.
Now "The Practice" may be leaving as well. Geez!! ABC!! GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!!
I agree. But it looks to be dead in the water now.
It all depends on what ABC decides. The finale is either the season one or the series one. Watch it anyway in four weeks.

OOOOOOOOHHHHHHNOOOOOOO!!!:brick: I loved Miracles!!
I really do hope it moves to USA with the Dead Zone. Those are a few of my favorite shows. Miracles would make a great match with the Dead Zone. ABC didn't even give the show a chance!! They kept postponing some episodes (replacing it with specials and what not). How is anyone suposed to get hooked to a show when the tv station can't even be consistent with airing it!
