This week many of the networks have announced their new Fall schedules so now we know which of our favorite shows are coming back, which aren’t and what new ones are coming along to tray to capture our interest. ABC has several new shows coming out next Fall and we’ve got some previews for those new shows for you today.
First off is Body of Proof which features Dana Delany as a neurosurgeon-turned-medical examiner whose expertise helps solve murder cases. It also features Jery Ryan, who you might remember from Star Trek: Voyager. Next up is Off the Map, the new medical drama from Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes which features Caroline Dhavernas as the idealistic Dr. Lily Brenner working at an understaffed medical clinic in the South American jungle that needs to treat patients with whatever they have at hand.
Our next preview is for the new Matthew Perry comedy Mr. Sunshine which centers on Perry’s character Ben Donovan, the self-involved manager of a second-rate San Diego sports arena, who begins to re-evaluate his life on his 40th birthday. Finally, we’ve got a preview of the new cop drama Detroit 1-8-7. It stars Michael Imperioli and is described as a fictional documentary that follows Detroit homicide police.
So, a new comedy, a new cop show and a new medical show. Somehow, these all seem vaguely familiar. Curious. Check out all the previews after the jump. Look for these new shows debut later this year or, in the case of Mr. Sunshine, at midseason.

It’s no secret we love TV. We watch it, talk about it, review it and generally spend a lot of time with it. So, it should come as no surprise we’re very interested in what new shows may potentially be coming to the networks in the near future.
Fortunately, we don’t have to do a lot of work to find out, and you have to do even less, because the guys and gals at EW have gathered together lists of all of the 2010-2011 season pilot orders for ABC, CBS and NBC. Wasn’t that nice of them? Yes, yes it was.
Just between these three networks (we’ll bring you Fox and the others, including cable, later), 31 dramas and 29 comedies are being considered. What shows will make it to the Fall schedule is still anyone’s guess, and we’ll have to wait until May to find out, but still, it’s fun to take a look at these pilots and imagine what could be.
Be warned, this is a rather long list. However, it’s kinda interesting to see the direction the networks are taking. Read on and let us know if you think any of these sound like a show you would watch.
