On Tuesday, ABC was the latest broadcast network to release its 2022 Fall TV schedule (after NBC). So what to expect? Several series will be on the move, less comedy and more.
ABC will be downsizing its comedy from two nights (Tuesday and Wednesday) to one night (Wednesday). The red-shot Abbott Elementary will be on the move from Tuesday to Wednesday at the 9 pm timeslot. The Conners, which had that previous timeslot, will kick off the night at 8pm, where it will lead into The Goldbergs. And the new Hilary Swank drama series will take over the post-Grey's timeslot on Thursdays at 10, moving Big Sky to Wednesdays at 10pm.
The summertime staple Bachelor In Paradise will be getting a regular season upgrade, airing both on Mondays (replacing DWTS) and Tuesdays from 8-10pm. A Million Little Things, which could be looking into its final season, will be held until midseason along with the sophomore comedy The Wonders Years and the new Gina Rodriguez comedy, Not Dead Yet.
And expect a new weekly celebrity edition of Jeopardy! will be paired with Celebrity Wheel of Fortune on Sunday night.

Like NBC, ABC has made some slight changes. The network's Wednesday and Thursday nights look solid programming-wise. Alaska looks interesting to see, as it has that Big Sky mystery vibes. And while it looks funny from the 15-second teaser, I might have to catch Not Dead Yet when it premieres.
