Question: Announcing a plan to take their top dramas off the air to avoid reruns is one thing, but how do you think ABC is actually going to fare for the next couple of months while Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal, Once Upon a Time and Revenge take two-month breathers? I am a fan of the airing-consecutively strategy, but I’m afraid they won’t stick to this model, because quite frankly, the new shows they are using as substitutes in these timeslots don’t look very good. What happens if something bombs? Will they have no choice but to rush these signature shows back to the air sooner?
