So if I'm following correctly, Scandal will air 2 eps, then preempted on Oct. 11 for the Presidential debate, air another 2 episodes, then preempted on Nov. 1 for the CMAs, then air another 2 eps and preempted on Nov. 22 for Thanksgiving? Eesh what a mess! I hope this doesn't hurt the show.

Haha, I'm sure all the soap fans are thrilled.

Pavan, can you confirm whether this special is 30 minutes (norm for fall previews) or 60 minutes (normal length of 'The Chew')? ABC has a large number of fall programs (4 sitcoms, 3 dramas), so I could see it being an hour in length, especially if there's cooking involved.

The one concern I have is whether affiliates that haven't cleared 'The Chew' will air this preview. Does anybody know whether 'The Chew' has 100% clearances across the ABC network?

If it is an hour in length, I wonder whether ABC might give it a daytime network broadcast after the affiliates have had their window.

It's good to see another Once Upon a Time marathon. Will those episodes be available on demand?

Any idea what episodes of Revenge will be airing and why they aren't airing one at 7pm like they are with OUAT? I must say, I think I'm more eager for Revenge's return than any other show or new show this season. Might have to buy season one on iTunes and rewatch to hold me over till season 2.

No episode info yet. Revenge at 7pm would be weird. Too early.

Great to see Revenge get a mini-marathon. I watched all 22 episodes online back in late-May, and it was awesome! It is probably one of the best network dramas in the past few seasons. Anyways, it's nice to finally watch an episode on television.

I think it will explode on Sunday nights.

Hmmm, I'm not quite sure. I think it'll be in the upper 2's, which is good, considering the show was in the lower-mid 2's at the end of the season. It'd be great for it to go over a 3.0 demo, but I'll remain cautiously optimistic for the time being.
