Start Planning your May Evenings now!

ABC released their schedule of season finales this week. So, forget about beautiful weather and outdoor activities, you have VITAL TV viewing to do!

The May sweeps period goes from April 27th through May 24th. So you'll see that ABC plans to wrap up sweeps with a 2 hour LOST. The final week of sweeps is also when we say goodbye to Alias. I will miss it, even though it is not as good now as it was when it began. The Grey's Finale is planned for the heart of sweeps, and interestingly, both parts will air just prior to ABC's upfront meeting (the announcement of 06/07 schedules to media buyers) which happens on Tues. May 16th.

By the way, I'll do reports on all the upfront meetings, (I usually attend most of them) and will be reporting on the shows in development for the networks (those that have a chance to end up on the schedule) in the coming days.

I'll update this with NBC, CBS, and Fox info when/if I can find it. All times are CST.
