ABC’s 2009-2010 Schedule: What It Means For You
Tuesday, May 19th, 2009
Posted by Diesel Micky DolenzABC’s 2009-2010 television schedule has been announced. Lost returns in 2010 for its final season. New shows of possible interest include Eastwick, Flash Forward and V. Eastwick is another attempt to turn “The Witches of Eastwick” into a television series, where “three very different women find themselves drawn together by a mysterious man who unleashes unique powers in each of them.” If at first you don’t succeed, right? Eastwick airs on Wednesday nights at 10 p.m.
In Flash Forward, everyone on the planet, regardless of age, briefly blacks out and sees a glimpse of his/her future. How people deal with that knowledge, and whether they can change what they’ve seen is the focus of the show. While it sounds like a compatible match for Lost, Flash Forward is scheduled for Thursday nights at 8:00 p.m.
In another case of “haven’t we done this before,” ABC is rebooting the 1983 mini-seris (and subsequent television series), V, “about the world’s first encounter with an alien race in which the aliens call themselves The Visitors, and have a seemingly friendly agenda that may or may not be a cover for something more malevolent.” V doesn’t appear on the released fall schedule, meaning it’s destined to be a mid-season replacement.
Shows which didn’t survive the cut include Life on Mars and Pushing Daisies.

The clips I have seen of V do not look very good. But I loved the original miniseries, its sequel and even the NBC television series (although it was pretty darn bad). So I will give it a try. Flash Forward sounds very interesting but I am not yet sold on the concept. And I am not at all interested in Eastwick. Lindsy
