ABC plans few changes in its fall programming
ABC will drop three current prime time series, add 32 hours of new programming, and keep most shows in their time slots. The network, led by James Duffy, aims to stay ahead in the ratings after Fred Silverman’s January departure to NBC. New fall offerings include three comedies, an Las Vegas adventure, and a science fantasy series. Lawrence Hilton Jacobs stars in The Comedy Company, portraying a struggling nightclub comic.
