Make that many somethings new: the entire night will consist of first-year shows, led off by ABC&#8217;s splashiest new series,\u00a0<em>Marvel&#8217;s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.<\/em>\u00a0The all-new Tuesday is made possible by a format change to\u00a0<em>Dancing with the Stars<\/em>, where results will now be revealed immediately as part of the show&#8217;s once-a-week, two-hour Monday broadcast. Otherwise, the schedule is fairly stable, with the network attempting to break in yet another new drama at Sundays at 10p, while it will use\u00a0<em>The Middle<\/em>and\u00a0<em>Modern Family<\/em>\u00a0as lead-ins to new comedies on Wednesdays in an attempt to finally find a half-hour that sticks. Those new comedies mean that the return of\u00a0<em>Suburgatory<\/em>\u00a0will be held back until midseason, as will the launch of five new shows.\u00a0<em>The Neighbors<\/em>\u00a0is the only returning show moving to a new night, and the shift to a less-demanding Friday slot could actually work in the show&#8217;s favor.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>ABC&#8217;s 2013 Fall Schedule<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3403\" alt=\"ABC Schedule\" src=\"http:\/\/www.archimediastudios.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/ABC-Schedule-300x150.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.archimediastudios.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/ABC-Schedule-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.archimediastudios.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/ABC-Schedule-150x75.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.archimediastudios.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/ABC-Schedule.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ABC\u00a0 Television Network unveiled its 2013-14 schedule on Tuesday morning to Madison Avenue advertisers at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center .
