Here's a look at Week #31!
ABC
ABC has a mix of repeats and new episodes this week. Tuesday brings repeats of four of the first five episodes of Roseanne followed by a special airing of Deception. It will be interesting to see how Deception does in a different slot. Wednesday brings two airings of Alex, Inc. with repeat lead-ins and a number similar to last week's 0.6 demo seems likely for this show which is sort of being treated like a burn-off. Thursday is the season premiere of Quantico, which did not do anything to deserve a third season last year and will probably be a big drop off from the already diminished Scandal.

TV NEWS & THOUGHTS
- ABC has given a series order to the untitled Goldbergs spinoff. After passing on the pilot last year, ABC aired it as a special episode this year and has now decided to give it a go. It will center on supporting Goldbergs characters played by Tim Meadows, Bryan Callen, and AJ Michalka and will be set in the 1990s or the decade after The Goldbergs.
- NBC has yanked Taken off the schedule and it will finish its season 2 run on Saturdays at 8PM starting May 26. NBC will air two hours of Dateline for the time being. Despite the low pressure Friday slot, Taken has posted embarrassingly low numbers. It was a surprise renewal for this year but a season 3 seems even more unlikely.
- Another yanking: CBS has yanked Living Biblically off the schedule in a de facto cancellation. It could return to the schedule at a later date but that's iffy at best. It will be replaced for the time being by repeats of The Big Bang Theory.
- CBS announced renewals for dramas NCIS: New Orleans, NCIS: Los Angeles, Bull, MacGyver, Hawaii Five-0, Blue Bloods, and Madam Secretary as well as reality shows Survivor, The Amazing Race, 60 Minutes, and 48 Hours. Aside from Madam Secretary, these were all pretty expected. Still on the bubble for CBS is Scorpion, Criminal Minds, Kevin Can Wait, Man with a Plan, Life in Pieces, and Superior Donuts while freshmen 9JKL, Instinct, and the just yanked Living Biblically are unlikely to come back. Code Black and Elementary return to the schedule in the next couple weeks and CBS may not make a decision on those two shows before Upfronts.
- ABC renewed Grey's Anatomy for its 15th season. The long running medical drama is a cornerstone of the ABC lineup and has shown no signs of slowing down.
