Jimmy Kimmel gets brutally honest

Kimmel helps ABC "promote" its new fall lineup. They really ought to book this guy for the next White House Correspondents dinner.

Ah, yes ... the rarely seen self-DB.

 

rare but oh so exciting

 

Funny stuff. In all seriousness, though, I was just looking at ABC's fall schedule. Aside from college football, the only thing I'll be tuning in for is "Castle." The rest of it? Not a thing I'll watch.

 

I love Castle.

I haven't seen the rest of the lineup. But I already miss Pushing Daisies.

 

Exquisite taste, IJAG!

BTW, here's the lineup: http://hollywoodinsider.ew.com/2009/05/abc-announces-f.html

Edit: I did forget Scrubs and Better Off Ted, which will return after Dancing with the Stars ends. I'll watch those, and Lost when it comes back.

 

Thank God According to Jim is done. (Hi pallister!)

 

Oh, BTW, IJAG: I had to look it up, cuz I knew it was coming up. "Daisies" returns a week from Saturday for it's 3-week run to the finale.

 

Sorry for the db - my browser crashed while posting.

 

I hope they bring back The Unusuals at some point.

 

Yeah, i still have it on my Tivo so it should pick up. Still pisses me off. How I adore Lee Pace.


that being said, I didn't get enough detail from that link to know what the new shows are about. Seemingly plenty of middle America. Of the returning shows, I do like Grey's, Dancing with the Stars and EM:HO.

 

Yeah, that disappointed me. I liked it. But then, when I caught the last 2-3 episodes of "Cupid," I liked that, too. I guess I just dig "quirky."

Another thought: So, ABC braintrust thought "Huh. So, Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton didn't work in a sit-com together? Well, let's give them each their own show! And use the same old formulaic stories! Yay! We're geniuses! High fives!"
