Upfronts week continues - and now we know what's in ABC's lineup for 2009-10. Click here for the full details, or read on for our analysis of the new-look schedule.

Biggest Surprise
ABC shunts Ugly Betty to Fridays. Uh oh - is that an Ugly hearse we see in the distance? It's no secret that Friday night is traditionally the night that networks place dying shows to take their last breaths (farewell, Prison Break!), and Betty's declining ratings seem to suggest the drama is on its way out. Oh, and the graveyard slot is slap bang between Supernanny and news magazine 20/20. Hardly riveting viewing, eh?

Most Promising New Series
I know we've been banging on about it since forever, but have you had a look at Flash Forward yet? The new Lost-like drama premieres on ABC in the Autumn, which is quite frankly too far away. For now we'll have to make do with short previews like this:



Best Return
Where do we start? OK, probably with Lost. The most head-scratching drama ever is returning to ABC early next year for its sixth and (sadly) final season - but it's not all bad, because it means we're finally going to get some answers, right?

Also back are Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice. As for the latter, it's now been moved to a new slot immediately after Grey's on Thursday. This represents a huge vote of confidence in the show. Ratings haven't ever really matched expectations, but there was a notable uptick when Practice aired alongside Grey's in the latter half of this season.

Biggest Loss
We can't help it, we're still mourning the loss of Pushing Daisies. After two seasons, the show was officially cancelled halfway through this season amid dwindling ratings. But every cloud has a silver lining, and the passing of Daisies meant that creator Bryan Fuller was free to reinvigorate Heroes.

Best Decision
Not picking up comedies including Brandy-fronted This Little Piggy, and axing Life On Mars - it's probably a case of the less said about that the better...
