ABC - New Shows Video Trailers
Here are the video trailers for the upcoming new shows on ABC. Some of these look really good!
Let me know which you are interested in so we can cover them on the blog (although I probably will cover most of the new shows anyway).
Sundays looks really awesome now for ABC with Once Upon A Time, Revenge and 666 Park Avenue.

The Neighbors
The Neighbors centers on a family (Lenny Venito, Jami Gertz, Isabella Camp, Clara Mamet, Max Charles) that moves into a coveted New Jersey gated community only to discover that the entire neighborhood is comprised of aliens disguised as humans. Set to premiere in the fall in the plumb post-Modern Family time slot on Wednesdays at 9:30 p.m.
Thoughts: It's about aliens! Hopefully the script is good if ABC is willing to put it after Modern Family. The multi-cultural aliens seem to be a nice touch, but I'm cautious on this one.
Nashville
Nashville is a family soap set against the backdrop of the Nashville music scene revolving around one star at her peak (Connie Britton) and another on the rise (Hayden Panettiere). The musical drama from Thelma and Louise's Callie Khouri will bow in the fall on Wednesdays at 10 p.m.
Thoughts: Right now, I really want this to be good and I want to love it. It's been a while since I followed Hayden on TV and I'm really looking forward to watching the ins and outs of country music.
Last Resort
Last Resort, from The Shield's Shawn Ryan, centers on the crew of a U.S. nuclear submarine (led by Andre Braugher) who, after ignoring an order to fire nuclear missiles, wind up being hunted and escape to a NATO outpost where they declare themselves to be the world's smallest nuclear nation. Felicity's Scott Speedman co-stars in the hourlong drama, which airs Thursdays at 8 p.m.
Thoughts: This looks intense! I'm definitely checking out the first episode. I have a feeling that it might turn a bit soapy once the group settles on the island. Hopefully it will be action-packed throughout.
Malibu Country
Malibu Country centers on Reba (Reba McEntire) who, after her "good 'ol boy" rock star husband cheats on her and burns through most of their money, divorces him and moves her three kids and mom (Lily Tomlin) from Nashville to the only asset they have left -- a little house in Malibu.
Thoughts: I'm watching this for Reba and Lily.
666 Park Avenue
666 Park Avenue, based on the book by Gabriella Pierce, centers on a young couple (Dave Annabele, Rachael Taylor) who accept an offer to manage one of the most historic apartment buildings in New York City, they unwittingly begin to experience supernatural occurrences, which complicate and endanger the lives of everyone in the building. Lost's Terry O'Quinn and Desperate Housewives' Vanessa Williams co-star in the drama, which will air Sundays at 10 p.m.
Thoughts: So looking forward to this! ABC looks like they are going to hold down Sundays again.
