Lets talk about the future ABC

There are tons of great shows on television right now, but we all know that come September some of the not so great ones will be gone. And that gives the networks and stations an opportunity to try again.

Here are a few deals that have recently been made. Maybe you'll see some of them on your TVs come September of 2012.

Feel like you need even more procedural dramas to watch? You might get your wish. ABC has recently signed a deal with Adam Goldworm and co. to gain the rights to 'Haunted'. The show would follow a female paranormal investigator who helps to solve crimes for the dead so that they can get closure. Sounds a little like 'Ghost Whisperer', but I'm hoping that it will be a little less serious and have a lot less of Jennifer Love Hewitt.

John Wells is known for his hits ('ER') as well as his misses ('Presidio Med', anyone?). His production company is still going strong, and they recently inked a deal with ABC for a 1970s based comedy exec produced by Joe Keenan.

That's John Wells. On the right.

Yet Another Connection

I just realized that in my post way back in April when I mentioned the commonalities between 'Body of Proof' and 'Rizzoli and Isles' I missed one important thing.

Dana Delaney (the star 'Body of Proof) and Sasha Alexander (the star of 'Rizzoli and Isles') were actually co-stars on a show about ten years ago! From 2000-2001 Delaney and Alexander played physicians in the short-lived series 'Presidio Med'. Funny that they're both now playing doctors again!

Unrelated, the show also starred Julianne Nicholson (of 'Ally McBeal') and was Blythe Danner's first return to episodic television since her role in 'Tattingers' in the 1980s.
