Earlier this week ABC announced the schedule for the start of their fall season. At first glance it appears as though the ball stars rolling in early September but if you take a closer look you’ll see that the big shows don’t start until later on in the month. The third season of ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ starts on September 21st then ‘Desperate Housewives’ on the 24th and ‘Lost’ doesn’t start until the beginning of October.
New shows like ‘Men In Trees’, ‘Six Degrees’ and ‘Brothers and Sisters’ are set to premiere alongside the network’s verteran shows. ABC is most likely hoping to draw fans of ‘Housewives’, ‘Extreme Makeover: Home Edition’ and ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ to the newer shows.
