The ABC Network has launched the primetime TV lineup for the 2016-2017 season, and we’re getting all shaken up! Some TV shows with low ratings were canceled, some were renewed (Phew, I was almost worried about America’s Funniest Home Videos.. almost!) and there are some brand new interesting TV shows on the schedule. Check out the full ABC 2016-2017 Primetime TV lineup including what is canceled and new shows to be added!
The ABC 2016-2017 Primetime TV Lineup Is Here!
The big news is there is a shakeup in Shondaland! Scandal will not be returning until mid-season 2017 because one of the main stars, Kerry Washington, is pregnant in real-life and the pregnancy is not being written into the show. ABC is filling the gap with a new series called Notorious. Don’t worry! There are plenty of good shows written by Shonda Rhimes including favorites such as Grey’s Anatomy and How To Get Away With Murder still in the lineup plus Scandal will be returning. Phew!

The muppets? I never watched what i’m guessing was a reboot of the show. I don’t think something like that works in this day and age for primetime.
I like “Nashville” show specially julien’s character. sad to see it go.
Designated Survivor sounds really interesting. I rarely watch Television as I am online streaming Netflix or DramaFever. Oh, thank goodness America’s Funniest videos made it through. ^_^
My mother-in-law is absolutely crushed that Nashville was cancelled! Thanks for the lineup! This will make it handy when planning out our tv schedule!
I have been watching Greys since it started. I am waiting for Prison Break to come back, have been binge watching on Netflix.
I didn’t see scandal or catch me if you can. I love both of those shows. I love Grey’s too.
I always love watching new TV shows that are interesting & The ABC Network primetime TV lineup sounds so great with lots of them which I would love to watch. American Housewife & Notorious would top my list on these new lineups!
