See All

ABC announced a fall schedule on Tuesday that doesn’t look much different than last year’s, but with one major exception: “High Potential,” which has turned into ABC’s signature primetime drama hit, isn’t there.

In what may be the most surprising move of the fall, ABC has opted to hold Season 3 of “High Potential” for midseason. (Perhaps they should call it “Hiatus Potential.”) Instead, “R.J. Decker” — which as one of the network’s few bubble shows, narrowly avoided cancellation – will get the primo Tuesday 10 p.m. slot (which had been filled by “High Potential” last fall).
