In The News FALLING INTO PLACE: Can TGIF work sans Urkel? We'll find out next fall when ABC revives its once-popular TGIF-themed Fridays, this time featuring returning comedies George Lopez, Life with Bonnie, Less Than Perfect and Back to Kansas, a sitcom about a shy New Yorker who marries into a Midwestern family. Kansas joins six other new shows on ABC's fall lineup, which will be unveiled to Madison Avenue today in New York. Among the other newcomers: the Kelly Ripa-Faith Ford sitcom Hope and Faith; I'm With Her, a sitcom about an actress (Teri Polo) who dates her high-school teacher; It's All Relative, a comedy featuring gay dads; Karen Sisco, a drama centered around J.Lo's character in Out of Sight (starring Spy Kids's Carla Gugino); 10-8, a drama about rookie cops in L.A.; and Threat Matrix, a drama about a homeland security task force. Also of note: Dragnet moves to Saturdays and The Practice heads back to Sundays at 10 pm/ET. |
Rob Estes' pilot, the Gilmore Girls spin-off, did not make the WB's fall schedule. It is being saved as a mid-season replacement.
