ABC, like Fox and NBC, stagger its fall premiere dates, bowing new and returning shows starting in September and running through November.
The network will kick off the 2012-13 season on Sept. 14 with the bows of Shark Tank and and What Would You Do and 20/20, and run through October and conclude with the Nov. 2 bows for Last Man Standing, freshman entry Malibu Country. In addition, after sampling rookie entry The Neighbors behind Modern Family, ABC will swap the comedy — which many have already dubbed this year’s Work It — with Suburgatory.
