The Goldbergs (Season 4 Premiere) 8PM
Speechless (Series Premiere) 8:30PM
Modern Family (Season 8 Premiere) 9PM
Black-ish (Season 3) 9:30PM
Looks like ABC has their own version of NBC’s old comedy block Must See TV and it looks pretty formidable.
It looks especially more stout for all the positive reception that Speechless has been receiving.

ABC seems pretty happy with their comedy slate.
Save for The Muppets, Dr. Ken, Galavant, and Last Man Standing, ABC has announced the renewal of the rest entire comedy line-up today. That includes Modern Family for its 8th season, The Middle, also for its 8th season, Fresh Off the Boat for its 3rd season, Black-ish, also for its 3rd season, and The Goldbergs for its 4th season.
Considering how quick the ax is brought down on series at other networks these days, this is a pretty big milestone for the broadcast network.
Also, TV Land’s freshman series Teachers will live to see a sophomore season.
Maybe this is a sign of the tides of cancelling new comedy series is changing? We certainly hope so.
The running gag of any long time host leaving their show is what they’re going to do afterwards as if they don’t have any sort of money whatsoever to fall back on for awhile.
Jeff Garlin picks up that torch here.
After some clever anti-promotion promotion for his TV show, The Goldbergs, Garlin spent the majority of his interview on last night’s Daily Show offering one of his best friends, Jon Stewart, a spot on his aforementioned show.
The offer, however, isn’t to play one of The Goldbergs. Watch it all here.
