The Status of ABC Shows

According to USAToday, ABC is killing off quite a few shows, some of which I mentioned earlier. The list includes: 

-Blood & Oil

-Castle

-The Family

-Galavant

-Marvel’s Agent Carter

-The Muppets

-Nashville

-Of Kings and Prophets

-Wicked City

Not too many superhero stories have died, though a few more deaths might be a good thing. The fact that Galavant had more than one season is surprising. And not even puppets and Bible stories can please viewers these days.

The good news is that the remaining shoes are diverse and fun. Renewals include:

-Fresh Off the Boat

-The Middle

-The Goldbergs

-Modern Family

-Black-ish

-Grey’s Anatomy

-Scandal

-How to Get Away with Murder

-Quantico

-Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

-Once Upon a Time

-Dr. Ken

-American Crime

-The Catch

-The Real O’Neals

-Last Man Standing

ABC has done well portraying diverse families, whether they are black, Asian, Jewish, or simply struggling with a variety of issues (such as a gay son and a pilfering daughter in The Real O'Neals). 

As far as drama goes, while I'm not a fan of Quantico, it is a different show with plenty of twists (too many at times).  However, I am a new fan of American Crime and I look forward to future stories.

So, all in all, ABC has held its own as a solid network for the whole family and the recent changes won't hurt its  reputation in this area.
