Well it's day 2 of the network upfronts, and ABC is stepping up to the podium with a brand new schedule that pits its mega hit Grey's Anatomy against CBS' powerhouse CSI and NBC's new Aaron Sorkin dramedy Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. It's an ambitious move to say the least, and this could turn out to be the most hotly contested hour of primetime next season. We'll have to wait until September to find out. As reported yesterday, ABC is not renewing Invasion, Hope & Faith or Freddie. Gone also is Commander In Chief, but it will return on May 31st to burn off its remaining first (and only) season episodes. The network is adding Saturday night primetime college football, which will feature 12 televised games. Here's a look at the alphabet network's fall schedule:
MONDAY: 8:00 p.m. "Wife Swap"
