Looks like ABC is filling in their fall slate with unscripted programming.
Looks like ABC is taking their scripted programs and pushing them to late fall and placing them with a heavily asterisked dose of the new season of unscripted shows that include The Bachelorette, Dancing With the Stars, and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire along with the rebooted Supermarket Sweep hosted by Leslie Jones.
"We're fortunate to have such a strong unscripted slate to launce our first wave of programming this fall," ABC Entertainment president Karey Burke said in a statement. "Presenting the new Supermarket Sweep with Leslie Jones alongside fresh, original episodes of returning shows that viewers have come to know and love is invigorating. And with our scripted series ramping up production, we look forward to announcing more premiere dates very soon."
Here's a lineup of the fall scheduling for ABC.

It's just like what CBS had announced on Wednesday but I think that ABC will come out of this better than CBS. Due to the fact that not only with their original and unscripted programs but with the NBA playoffs the network looks to be in better shape until their scripted shows like Grey's Anatomy and black-ish.
