Quantico got a very strong reaction from ad buyers yesterday and ABC seem ready to push its star, Priyanka Chopra, as their next breakout star. I can't say I was particularly impressed with it myself though. It seems like a show trying to do too many things simultaneously and likely falling short on all of them. Its in a pretty horrible slot for ABC as well.

“Oil looks set to be the next big primtime soap drama. Many are already calling it The New Dallas. It looks promising. The fact it is in Desperate Housewives and Revenge's old slot means it has a chance as well.”
I'm not sure that's true. That Sunday 9PM slot has been a disaster for ABC for a good few seasons now and Once Upon A Time isn't the lead-in that it was and won't have the Frozen boost powering it this year.

I think this looks like the strongest drama pilot of the season to be honest. Its got a strong premise and a fantastic cast.

Whereas I think The Catch looks like an incredibly well crafted parody of a Shondaland show.

I think CBS are probably gambling on the idea that the bottom has fallen out of Gotham and it isn't rebounding next year.

I'm not at all surprised that Elementary is staying place for the Fall. There doesn't seem like much sense in CBS trying to launch a new drama at 10PM on Thursday in November opposite How To Get Away With Murder and NBC's efforts to try and grab a more male skewing audience with their Heroes/Blacklist/Player combo. I will however be a little surprised if Elementary is still airing Thursday 10PM in the Spring.
