ABC Sets Summer Schedule with Only Two Scripted Shows, Including Mistresses
Carissa Pavlica at .ABC is going almost all reality for summer 2016.
Other than reality (including a lot of game shows), they're serving up one drama and one comedy with the return of Mistresses and new comedy, Uncle Buck.
Surprisingly absent was Secrets & Lies, which many thought would appear after missing the midseason schedule. Speculation now is it might make it to air during the fall instead.
