Today it's ABC's turn to unveil their new series for the upcoming TV season after announcing which of their running series did and didn't make the cut for another season. But now we have the full schedule which includes timeslots for all the new series including Apartment 23 starring James Van Der Beek, the remake of Charlieâs Angels, Leslie Bibb in Good Christian Belles, Tim Allen's return to TV in Last Man Standing, Dan Fogler in Man Up, Missing starring Ashley Judd, the fairytale drama Once Upon a Time, Christina Ricci in Pan Am, the high society drama Revenge, the Amazon-set The River, Henry Ian Cusick in Scandal, and the comedies Suburgatory and Work It.
See full synopses, photos and clips from all these new shows after the jump and see what tickles your fancy.
I have to say, I'm not impressed with Tim Allen's anticipated return to ABC television with Last Man Standing after being on the hit sitcom Home Improvement previously. He's got a lot of charisma, but the laughtrack again annoys the hell out of me, and it just feels a little too exaggerated for my tastes. Meanwhile the Charlie's Angels remake seems to deliver on its promise to have sexy women as kick-ass spies, but it has a lot to live up to for fans of the original. As a fan of Krysten Ritter's performance in She's Out of My League, I like what I've seen from Apartment 23, especially with James Van Der Beek playing a self-aware version of himself. Personally, the show that I no longer have any interest in whatsoever is the cheesy looking Once Upon a Time fairytale drama. That just looks like it's begging to be canceled. Anyway, you can judge for yourself after checking out all the series synopses, photos and clips below.

When one of the angelsâ missions ends in Gloriaâs tragic death, Charlie persuades them to partner with Gloriaâs childhood friend, Eve (Minka Kelly), a street racer with a mysterious past.

And they all lived happily ever after â or so everyone was led to believe. Emma Swan knows how to take care of herself. Sheâs a 28-year-old bail bonds collector whoâs been on her own ever since she was abandoned as a baby. But when the son she gave up years ago finds her, everything starts to change. Henry is now 10 years old and in desperate need of Emmaâs help. He believes that Emma actually comes from an alternate world and is Snow White and Prince Charmingâs missing daughter. According to his book of fairytales, they sent her away to protect her from the Evil Queenâs curse, which trapped the fairytale world forever, frozen in time, and brought them into our modern world. Of course Emma doesnât believe a word, but when she brings Henry back to Storybrooke, she finds herself drawn to this unusual boy and his strange New England town. Concerned for Henry, she decides to stay for a while, but she soon suspects that Storybrooke is more than it seems. Itâs a place where magic has been forgotten, but is still powerfully close⦠where fairytale characters are alive, even though they donât remember who they once were.

PAN AM
Passion, jealousy and espionage... They do it all â and they do it at 30,000 feet. The style of the 1960s, the energy and excitement of the Jet Age and a drama full of sexy entanglements deliciously mesh in this thrilling and highly-original new series.
In this modern world, air travel represents the height of luxury and Pan Am is the biggest name in the business. The planes are glamorous, the pilots are rock stars and the stewardesses are the most desirable women in the world. Not only are these flyboys and girls young and good looking, but to represent Pan Am they also have to be educated, cultured and refined. Theyâre trained to handle everything from in-air emergencies to unwanted advances â all without rumpling their pristine uniforms or mussing their hair. Thereâs Dean (Jonah Lotan) â a cocky, charismatic and ambitious new pilot â the first of a new breed not trained in the war. On the sly against company policy, heâs dating Bridget, a stunning beauty with a mysterious past. A rebellious bohemian, Maggie (Christina Ricci) turns into a buttoned up professional for work so she can see the world. Rounding out the crew are flirtatious Collette (Karine Vanasse), the adventurous Kate (Kelli Garner) and, finally, Laura (Margot Robbie) â Kateâs beauty queen younger sister, a runaway bride, who recently fled a life of domestic boredom to take to the skies.

SUBURGATORY
Single father George only wants the best for his 16-year-old daughter, Tessa. So when he finds a box of condoms on her nightstand, he moves them out of their apartment in New York City to a house in the suburbs. But all Tessa sees is the horror of over-manicured lawns and plastic Franken-moms. Being in the âburbs can be hell, but it also may just bring Tessa and George closer than theyâve ever been.
Tessa (Jane Levy) and George (Jeremy Sisto) have been on their own ever since Tessaâs mom pulled a âKramer vs. Kramerâ before she was even potty trained. So far, George has done a pretty good job of raising Tessa without a maternal figure in their lives, but suddenly heâs feeling a little out of his league. So itâs goodbye New York City and hello suburbs. At first Tessa is horrified by the big-haired, fake-boobed mothers and their sugar-free Red Bull-chugging kids. But little by little she and her dad begin finding a way to survive on the clean streets of the âburbs.

WORK IT
This high-concept comedy centers on two unrepentant guyâs guys who, unable to find work, dress as women to get jobs as pharmaceutical reps. Not only do they pull it off, but they might just learn to be better men in the process.
With unemployment an ongoing issue and women now outnumbering men in the workforce, the new comedy series âWork Itâ follows two alpha males who realize the only way to beat the current âmancessionâ and land a job in pharmaceutical sales is to pass themselves off as women.

Being a better man sometimes means having to be a better woman.
