Carter adds, "The network will open the fall season with eight of these series on its prime-time schedule, five of which are comedies as ABC tries again to make Tuesday a second comedy night."

The Times’ Carter adds,  "ABC will introduce a whole new night of series on Tuesday, after jettisoning the ”Dancing with the Stars’ results show (results of the dance competition will now be included in the program’s Monday show). The new Tuesday schedule will be led off with by the network’s highest-profile drama, ‘Super Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,’ a comic book-based adventure from Joss Whedon (‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’)."

The article also notes: "ABC will save [five] of its new shows for later in the season, including a new reality show called ‘The Quest,’ which takes real people on a ‘Lord of the Rings’ sort of adventure.

"ABC said it would run its serialized shows in 12-episode arcs, which will take breaks filled with other original shows.

"One of its holdover comedies, ‘Suburgatory,’ will be held off until midseason."
