But soft, what news through yonder email breaks? ABC has finally dated Shonda Rhimes’ spin on Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet<\/em>. Still Star-Crossed<\/em>, which at point was considering a title change, is finally set to premiere Monday, May 29.<\/p>\n

ABC is giving the new drama, Rhimes’ fourth current production at the network, the best lead-in it has. It will air after The Bachelorette<\/em>, which will return the Monday prior, May 22 with its first after non-white lead in Texas attorney\u00a0Rachel Lindsay.<\/p>\n

Another buzzy\u00a0scripted effort, Downward Dog<\/em>, will get an in-season sampling after the May 17 Modern Family<\/em>finale before it shifts \u00a0to Tuesdays the following week. The network has a pretty beefy summer slate. In addition to the slew of throw-back game shows that it’s been spinning \u2014\u00a0Celebrity Family Feud, The $100,000 Pyramid, Too Tell the Truth<\/em> \u2014\u00a0there’s also a revival of The Gong Show<\/em> set to air Thursdays after new competition Boy Band.<\/p>\n

Family Feud<\/em> host Steve Harvey, who has no shortage of TV gigs, gets a second vehicle on the network with Steve Harvey’s Funderdome<\/em>. It enters the Sunday lineup on June 11.<\/p>\n

But it’s not all alternative. Despite the reality-heavy roster, which also includes the Aug. 14 return of Bachelor in Paradise<\/em> and the previously announced revival of Battle of the Network Stars<\/em> (June 29), ABC has scripted efforts in its Dirty Dancing<\/em> movie remake (May 24) and Korean drama adaptation Somewhere Between<\/em> (July 24).<\/p>\n
