There were a lot of new shows.

What is an upfront?

ayrt

When the networks announce new TV shows to advertisers.

They’ve got reboots:
Charmed - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loWpbevW9xg
Magnum, P.I. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMmv9JFOEB0

They’ve got back in the saddle:
Murphy Brown - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LH_EiPC9FAM

They’ve got generic:
FBI – see title - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7oPFgb6VNE
New Amsterdam – medical show where a doctor is going to shake things up - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vY_5EvoL1Is

They’ve got comedies:
The Neighborhood – white family moves into a black neighborhood - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oG9Hc_vFlTM
The Kids Are Alright – family with 8 boys set in the 70s - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5-0wgrWB9g
Single Parents – see title - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vujgmSPp0c
I Feel Bad – about getting older, apparently - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMCbf-oWDe0
Happy Together – rock star moves in with his accountant and his wife until press after a break-up dies down - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4Oqyv75His
The Cool Kids – zany adventures of a group from an old folks home - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1-lhUD9YfE
Rel – Lil Rel Howery moves to the South Side of Chicago after divorcing his wife who cheated on him with his barber - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsUa5ObfCMs

They’ve got can-this-premise-last-beyond-a-season:
Manifest – a plane lands 5 and half years after it took off and no one on it has aged - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dwc27Lsr1EY

They’ve got depressing-ass drama:
A Million Little Things – one of a friend group kills himself (interesting cast, though) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mz0dB5BInOk

They’ve got high school drama in Beverly Hills:
All America – a student from Crenshaw is recruited to play football for a high school in Beverly Hills - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKc2bMYON5Q

They’ve got Touched by Joan of Arcadia Saves the World:
God Friended Me – atheist becomes agent of change after getting friended by God - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6XfmicoyZw

They’ve got Nathan Fillion:
The Rookie – a forty-something guy joins the police force - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9K06dCP-lc

They’ve got another The Vampire Diaries spin-off:
Legacies

Charmed: Yep. That is a CW show.
FBI: Boy, they didn't even try with that title. Sorry, slow song version of a happy song isn't going to make it amazing.
The Cool Kids: Not bad looking.
Manifest: Nothing will be answered in season one and it will be canceled. That music at the end sound familiar.
A Million Little Things: OMG I LOVE ALL THOSE PEOPLE.

ayrt

Manifest was intriguing, but I think you're probably right.
A Million Little Things, yeah, hell of a cast.
FBI, not even a little bit.
The Cool Kids, I like all the people, but some of those jokes felt flat.

Magnum P.I. - holy crap they spent a lot of money on stunts
Happy Together - the trailer was funny

Whiskey Cavalier (in the midseason post below) - the trailer is so goddamned ridiculous, you have to watch it.

Good holy gods. Not one of those sounds remotely interesting.

I kind of liked the Happy Together trailer. And Manifest intrigues me, but I'm not sure it will last long. A Million Little Things has a good cast, but it seems really depressing to me.

I'm working my way through the links of the few that sound possibly not horrible. I'll try those.

AND, omg, all the Murphy Brown people look...the same! WOW.

ayrt

Kind of scary, isn't it? Though I do miss Eldin (Robert Pastorelli) and Phil (Pat Corley) and I don't know where Jim Dial (Charles Kimbrough) is.

WOW. He's 81.
https://www.sfgate.com/entertainment/the-wrap/article/Murphy-Brown-Revival-Will-Charles-12709890.php

They say recurring guest, not a regular.

So ABC passed up Salvage for a bunch of boring shit?

(& yes I know not all of that is ABC but then they shopped it around and no one else bought it either so fuck all of them)

ayrt

I was going to write that ABC only picked up a couple of new dramas (The Rookie and A Million Little Things), but they picked up like four more for midseason (The Fix, Grand Hotel, Take Two, and Whiskey Cavalier) and one them is so patently ridiculous, I can't defend the choice at all (Whiskey Cavalier, the trailer link is in a post further down).

I'm willing to try The Rookie because of Nathan and the Charmed reboot because I like the original. And I'll probably try God Friended Me too because the concept is fun. But I have no faith that any of these are going to be even remotely decent.

ayrt

None of those really spoke to me. I'll check out Happy Together because I liked the trailer, Manifest because the concept is interesting (but, if it's anything like previous experiences, it will quickly devolve), A Million Little Things because of the cast (though if the actual show is as depressing as the trailer, I probably won't watch beyond the pilot), maybe The Cool Kids, and I have to see how Murphy Brown is going to go.

To me 'The Rookie' looks like the TV version of Zootopia but without the animals.

- Charmed looks so stupid and good to me. The trailer just seemed a stupid, soapy good time. It's definitely not going to be a good show but I could see myself enjoying it. Maybe I just like things about witches too much.

- Manifest looked good but I'm 100% sure it's just the trailer and the actual show is going to suck after, like, the first episode because those kinds of shows always seem to

- The Fix could be watchable just for Robin Tunney. She's so good, isn't she?

- Abby's is EASILY the show that I'm most excited for, everything about it sounds amazing. Neil Flynn and Natalie Morales! Mike Schur! multi-cam with a live audience! set in an illegal outdoor bar! it sounds just amazing

- I will watch at least 1-2 episodes of any show described as "Gender-flipped Blacklist". don't need any other information.

- Whiskey Cavalier is SO fucking stupid and ridiculous and I kind of love it. I hope it maintains that over-the-topness. Also, Lauren Cohan good.

(I just combined all the shows into one post)

ayrt

-Charmed doesn't do it for me. I was only a casual viewer of the original, except for the episodes with Chris.

-Probably right about Manifest, still going to watch that first episode at least.

-Robin Tunney is a good reason.

-Mike Schur's humor is not for me, but I hope you like the show.

-It has Jennifer Carpenter as the CIA traitor that Morris Chestnut's FBI agent enlists to help him.

-Whiskey Cavalier is so stupid, isn't it?

They’ve also got so, so many midseason shows:
The Fix – somewhat based on Marcia Clark - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkJhX-ccM5k
Proven Innocent – a wrongfully convicted woman becomes a lawyer who tries to prove the innocence of others who have been wrongfully convicted - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3rpbxfJxec
Roswell, New Mexico – reboot of Roswell, aged up
The Passage – based on the book by Justin Cronin (sort-of) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rJ64J-gSbY
Abby’s – an unlicensed backyard bar
The Enemy Within – gender-flipped Blacklist
The Village – A group of apartment neighbors in Brooklyn form a family
The InBetween – pretty much like Medium
Take Two - gender-flipped Castle
Schooled – The Goldbergs spin-off, set in the 90s
Whiskey Cavalier – team of spies ridiculously led by a CIA agent and an FBI agent - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhYQU5eWdCo
Grand Hotel – based on Spain’s Gran Hotel - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsSMv0EcX04
The Red Line – in Chicago, a white police officer shoots a black doctor
In The Dark – blind witness to murder is not taken seriously, so she decides to solve it herself with her dog
Fam – a disaster of person moves in with her sister and her fiance
The Code – the military’s brightest minds, inside the courtroom and out – where each attorney is trained as a prosecutor, a defense lawyer, an investigator – and a Marine

Proven Innocent sounds interesting. I'll always try new law shows. And also the Code (will it be like JAG?).

ayrt

The Code seems like kind of a mess - they recast two main roles - and I really couldn't tell exactly what they were going for. Here's more about it: http://deadline.com/2018/05/the-code-cbs-drama-picked-up-series-cbs-major-roles-recast-dave-annable-mira-sorvino-1202388696/

The Fix might be something up your alley, it's got Robin Tunney going after an OJ-like guy.
