ABC is launching its 2013-14 season the Friday before Premiere Week and staggering its launches into October, setting back-to-back Modern Family episodes and two-hour Grey’s Anatomy opener.
With Fox going out early, CBS opening nearly all of its lineup during the week of Sept. 23 and NBC going into late October, where the CW will bow its fare, ABC will get a jump start on Friday, Sept. 6 with 20/20, followed by Dancing With the Stars on Monday, Sept. 16. Comedies Last Man Standing and The Neighbors will roll out Sept. 20 along with Friday staple Shark Tank.
