abc_logoABC has announced three new sitcoms for the fall and they seem to reflect the current world we live in -

In Hank,  Kelsey Grammer  plays a business tycoon who loses his job, has little money left and finds himself spending more time with his wife and kids.


The Middle staring Patricia Heaton as a wife and mother of three living with lowered expectations in the middle of Indiana.


Ed O’Neill returns in Modern Family.  Shot documentary-style, this sitcom follows three very different couples — gay, heterosexual, and mixed ethnicity — who live in the suburbs and have distinct approaches to raising children. The observer watching the families is a filmmaker.
