This summer, we're inundated on ABC's Wednesday nights with the revival of three classic game shows and despite my initial reluctance, I admit I'm hooked: Press Your Luck, Card Sharks, and Match Game all scratch some sort of primal summer itch and are far more entertaining than they deserve to be Add it in to the[...]

Even though the 2019 fall television schedule is pretty much set for ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, and The CW, networks are always looking to recapture past glory of their biggest hits or give a misunderstood cult classic a second chance Here are five shows that we here at Bleeding Cool think deserve another look: Quantum[...]

If you need an hour to turn off your brain, relax, and let the world burn for a while without you. Sadly, the programming department at ABC has decided that we aren't worthy of Holey Moley this week I don't know about you, but I was really good this week I don't know why we're being[...]

Last but certainly not least, ABC released the official fall premiere dates for a number of series, as well as freshman dramas Emergence and Stumptown, rookie spinoff Mixed-ish and reality show revival Kids Say the Darndest Things Here's a look at ABC's fall premiere dates – with new series in boldface Following the schedule is[...]

More than a month after showrunner David Hemingson announced ABC had "fully and finally cancelled" Lauren Cohan (The Walking Dead) and Scott Foley's (Scandal) Whiskey Cavalier, executive producer Bill Lawrence (Scrubs) put the final nail in the show's coffin this past weekend Taking to social media Sunday afternoon, Lawrence wanted fans to know that the show appreciated their[...]

Twelve new contestants enter the Golfstacle Course of Holey Moley on ABC, the single most whacked out hour of mini-golf on network television If Hunter S Thompson created a mini-golf show, this would be it. First up: Evan squares off against Robin Robin is one of the best female putters on the planet Robin goes up[...]

Last week on ABC's Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., FitzSimmons (Iain De Caestecker, Elizabeth Henstridge) got the reunion of their dreams – or, more precisely, nightmares But their journey is only half over: the intrepid agents and their BFF Enoch (Joel Stoffer) have to find a way to get back to Earth[...]

There where a lot of things I thought Holey Moley, ABC's absurdly goofy, addictively watchable mini-golf obstacle course show would do- solve world hunger, end war in the Middle East, save me a lot on that muffler- but I never, not once in a million years though it would make me fall in love. I freaking[...]

Mark my words. Everything you need to know about Holey Moley is laid out for you during the opening, where host and executive producer Stephen Curry explains what his purpose is, then we're off to dash through the Golfstacle course. //Credit: ABC I had hoped, after I saw my first promo for Holey Moley, that the show would[...]

On ABC's Marvel's Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D., the ongoing love story between super-science geeks Leo Fitz (Iain De Caestecker) and Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge) has been a case study in poor timing and worse luck After years of will-they-or-won't-they teasing by SHIELD's writers, the fan-favorite characters finally got together Only to then be torn apart by story[...]

In another example of a little last-minute recasting, Mark-Paul Gosselaar (The Passage, Pitch) is set to replace Anders Holm (Workaholics) as the male lead in ABC's new comedy series Mixed-ish In the Black-ish prequel centering on young Rainbow Johnson (played by Tracee Ellis Ross in Black-ish), Gosselaar will play Bow's father Paul Johnson Karin Gist serves[...]

Holey Moley is hitting ABC this Thursday, and I can only hope and pray for two things One, it needs to be stupid as hell Please, in the name of our most sacred The Masked Singer, please let Holey Moley be as insipid as it possibly can be. //Credit: ABC Second, I need the words "Holey Moley"[...]

On Thursday, June 20th, the greatest, wackiest, goofiest concept to hit TV in ages will debut on ABC television No one in the world is ready for Holey Moley It's going to be the most incredibly dumb, electrifying, and compelling thing ever broadcast. //Credit: ABC Holey Moley will bring about the End of Days. Holey Moley will bring[...]

There might even be one or two Lost super-fans that think the finale was just shy of amazing. Some of those fans might even be holding their breaths over a return or reboot of the meandering series, which ran on ABC from 2004 to 2010. BERLIN – DEC 9: Evangeline Lilly at The Hobbit: The Desolation of[...]

Less than two weeks after ABC officially announced the cancellation of Lauren Cohan (The Walking Dead) and Scott Foley's (Scandal) action-spy dramedy Whiskey Cavalier, fans now have two threads of hope to hang on to First, Warner Bros TV is continuing to shop the series to other networks and services Now, executive producer Bill Lawrence[...]

ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel is a student of the history of Television, remembering that 2019's "Platinum Age of Television" wouldn't be what it is today without some of the classic shows from the '70s and '80s To prove his point and remind viewers that classic television is timeless, Kimmel is teaming with television icon[...]

But even as we celebrate more programming choices across a wide range channels/services, it's important to not forget where all of this began: the networks – ABC, NBC, and CBS (sorry, this was pre-FOX days). One person who hasn't forgotten is ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, who is teaming with television icon Norman Lear as well[...]

There is something about Holey Moley, ABC's upcoming mini-golf meets obstacle course competition, that makes me get fired up and ready to tackle the world There is nothing that the human mind can't come up with, given time And now, we're getting a show that answers the ages old question- what would happen if American[...]

Emergence has had an interesting, and somewhat twisty, road for a new series. EMERGENCE – "Pilot " – (ABC Studios/Virginia Sherwood)ALLISON TOLMAN, ALEXA SWINTON Originally ordered to pilot by NBC, Emergence has found a new home with Disney-owned ABC, which picked up the series after NBC declined to greenlight the project. Emergence features Allison Tolman as a police[...]

Though little surprise to anyone who's been following the show's overall ratings trajectory during its first season (and probably music to the ears of more than a few fans of AMC's The Walking Dead), ABC cancelled Lauren Cohan (The Walking Dead) and Scott Foley's (Scandal) action-spy dramedy Whiskey Cavalier During Disney's Upfront press conference on Tuesday morning,[...]

TV will shop the series to other outlets/platforms. If only Lauren Cohan had another show to fall back on… Though little surprise to anyone who's been following the show's ratings trajectory (and probably music to the ears of more than a few fans of AMC's The Walking Dead), ABC has cancelled Cohan and Scott Foley's (Scandal) action-spy[...]

ABC gave an official series order for Untitled Cobie Smulders (aka Stumptown), a drama series from writer Jason Richman, Ruben Fleischer, and ABC Studios that's based on the Oni Press graphic novel series from writer Greg Rucka and illustrators Matthew Southworth and Justin Greenwood. The series centers on strong, assertive, and unapologetically sharp-witted Army veteran (Cobie Smulders, Avengers: Endgame) who works as a private investigator in Portland,[...]

UPDATE II: So it appears Constance Wu has taken to Twitter one more time to clarify that it wasn't that she was upset over Fresh Off the Boat being renewed: it was about the renewal keeping her from working on "another project" that she was "really passionate about." In the following tweeted message below, Wu[...]

UPDATE: Apparently, it's no longer a matter of society misconstruing Constance Wu's (Crazy Rich Asians) tweets and "making a lot of assumptions" about her social media reaction to ABC sitcom Fresh Off the Boat being renewed for a sixth season (see original report below) On Friday evening, Wu took to Twitter once again, this time[...]

While reports are that network executives are still very high on its long-term series prospects, ABC will not be moving forward with NYPD Blue for the fall – but reshoots have been ordered and the pilot is up for midseason consideration The proposed revival centers on Theo Sipowicz (Fabien Frankel, Last Christmas) – son of[...]

Because as excited as we all are to find out which shows made the cut, those greenlights usually come at the expense of a pilot that wasn't picked up or series that wasn't renewed – and that will naturally lead to some hurt feelings. So with that said, Fresh Off the Boat star Constance Wu's reaction[...]
