Last July it would have been hard to believe that in just a year ABC would not only have one, but several shows among the top rated on television. Toss in five new series and ABC is going to have a busy fall. In fact, it’s so busy that the network’s premieres will extend all the way into early October.
Returning comedies “According to Jim,” “Hope & Faith” and “George Lopez” will all get one-hour premieres, while new shows “Invasion” and “Night Stalker” will get high profile lead-in debuts in the form of season premieres of “Lost” and “Alias”
