Given the current situation with ABC pilots, both would be back if I were running things. To me, the real crackpot pick up was Miss Guided. That show did downright terrible against nothing for competition. ES at least had better demos than WMC. Speaking of demos, its ultimately why the show isn't coming back. If it couldn't beat Moonlight, then it was never going to make it on a real night and I think ABC was looking at it as their Tuesday 10pm fix long term, believe it or not, with Boston Legal eventually getting shoved to Fridays. Now, who knows.

Imo the Miss Guided pickup is somehow related to Kushton's reality show 'Opportunity Knocks' that also is being picked up. I'm sure if he wasn't producing both shows, Miss Guided would have been cancelled.
Yay for ES. It had a pretty shaky start, both creatively and numbers wise so I'm glad that ABC is giving it a chance. It did get much better (creatively) during the last few episodes and with some good promotion and a good lead-in, hopefully it will find another million or two viewers.
Behind the DTWS results show seems like a pretty cushy spot in the fall and I like the 2nd-half pairing with Scrubs (if Eli lasts that long). Both shows have the same kind of whimsical humour.
Returning This Fall!
