ABC's New Shows for the 2007-08 Season

ABC's New Shows for the 2007-08 Season: ABC had the biggest single success of last season, moving Greys Anatomy to Thursday nights and instantly becoming a big player on one of the most important nights of the week. Newcomers Ugly Betty and Brothers & Sisters were also pleasant surprises, and Dancing with the Stars even conquered Heroes in the spring.

For all that, though, ABC also had a pretty high failure rate last season (remember Six Degrees? Help Me Help You? Big Day? Didnt think so). So the network is, once again, rolling out the biggest slate of new shows this fall, with everything from a spinoff (Private Practice) to a fairy tale (Pushing Daisies) to a comedy based on car-insurance ads (Cavemen). If even a couple of these newbies stick, the network should find itself not having to pick up a dozen pilots for fall 2008.
