Bonds Are a 'Safe' Investment: A Big Lie Gets Even Bigger
It is already that time of year again, when networks begin to align their fall schedules. Fans of cult favorites like Veronica Mars worry about their shows teetering on the bubble, writers and stars associated with top-20 shows may become a little bit greedy, and the nation wonders who, exactly, is still watching The Bachelor.
Late Wednesday, ABC, a division of Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:DIS), announced 14 early confirmations for the 2007-2008 television season. Coming back for a second season are three breakout hits: Brothers & Sisters, Men in Trees, and Ugly Betty. Also on the list are Boston Legal, Desperate Housewives, Dancing With the Stars, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Grey's Anatomy, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Lost and, in fact, The Bachelor. This group joins three programs the network already committed to for the fall season: Supernanny, Wife Swap, and America's Funniest Home Videos (that's still on? News to me.)
Among the network's shows still awaiting a verdict are What About Brian, According to Jim, and George Lopez.

My favorite show is the George Lopez show, I look forward to seeing it, but abc keeps taking it off for very stupid shows, we really don,t need another reality show. We need something funny and keep it on the same day. He deals with many issues that are going on, but puts his brand of humor on it. Now that,s real, so abc quit messing around with a great show
