THEY'RE ALL COMING BACK

ABC offers a preview of its fall schedule

You can get a really good idea of ABC's fall schedule right here, where Yahoo! has posted clips from 12 of ABC's new shows for the fall. Clips include Brothers & Sisters (Calista Flockhart), Day Break (Taye Diggs), Men in Trees (Anne Heche), The Nine (Scott Wolf), Six Degrees (created by J.J. Abrams), Traveler, Betty the Ugly, Big Day, Help Me Help You (Ted Danson), In Case of Emergency, Let's Rob..., and Notes from the Underbelly.Some early thoughts after the jump:
- Calista Flockhart looks really puffy;
- Taye Diggs looks really hot but the premise of his show, where a cop relives the same day to find a killer, is silly;
- Anne Heche needs to gain some weight and stop annoying me;
- I don't understand where The Nine is going to go after the pilot where nine people are held hostage during a bank robbery and then, according to the clips, all meet up for a jovial dinner together;
- Betty the Ugly, about an unattractive girl who lands a gig as an assistant to a fashion magazine editor, looks promising;
- Jonathan Silverman is overacting in the comedy, In Case of Emergency;
- Notes from the Underbelly reminds me of the comedy stylings of Scrubs;
- Unfortunately, the clips from J.J. Abrams' new show, Six Degrees, are boring (but he's J.J. Abrams, so we'll all give it a try anyway, won't we?);
- The flickering of Yahoo!'s video player is maddening, which may explain my sour attitude toward some of these pilots.
