ABC Fall Update & Aw man, they cancelled The Killing

They finally went and did it. ABC released their fall premiere dates yesterday.
I only mentioned 2 shows worth checking out on my previous ABC post but that means two things. One, I need to update you on the dates these shows premiere. Two, I forgot to mention a show that looks promising called Last Resort.
So here I will give you those dates and some info on the upcoming Last Resort.

666 Park Avenue - Sundays, 9pm CST
Premieres September 30th

Once Upon A Time - Sundays, 7pm CST
Premieres September 30th

(For heaven's sake, Sunday night DVR'ing should be some kind of Championship sport...)

Last Resort - Thursdays, 7pm CST
Premieres September 27th

If you have seen the ads on TV, you may have an idea about the show's premise. Basically, a crew from the US Navy decides not to follow orders to launch nuclear missiles against Pakistan. This officially makes the ballistic missile submarine crew enemies of their own country.
With this being an election year, it may serve as a commentary on the way the country works. Could be very interesting.
For you Falling Skies & Once Upon A Time fans, our fair Jessy Schram (Karen, Cinderella) is also going to be in this show that is currently filming in Hawaii.

Now for the sad news...
AMC has officially decided to cancel The Killing. For anyone who has read my blog, you know I am a huge fan of this show. Oddly, the news of the cancellation comes the day after Michelle Forbes (Mitch) won a Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress in their television awards.
I am sad but have hope. Fox Studios issued a statement that they will "proceed to try and find another home" for the series.
In the meantime, I will continue to be an avid supporter of this series as it contained some of the best writing and acting on television.
