ABC Renewal Status Report: ‘Grey’s’, ‘9-1-1’, ‘The Rookie’, ‘Will Trent’, ‘Doctor Odyssey’ & ‘Shifting Gears’
deadline.comSupplementing its lineup with reality fare, game shows, newsmagazines, sports and occasional Hulu series reruns, ABC has the fewest scripted shows of the broadcast networks that program three hours of primetime this season — nine — 6 dramas and 3 comedies, including the six-episode final run of The Conners.
Compare that to 18 for CBS, 14 dramas and 4 comedies; and 15 for NBC — which, like ABC has a night of NFL football in the fall — 11 dramas and 4 comedies.
