ABC tinkers with schedule

ABC is adding seven new series to its schedule this fall, but the changes are more like tinkering than a big overhaul.

Two shows shot documentary style and one about a family with superpowers highlight a schedule that makes changes on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.

SUNDAY:ABC returns the same lineup it's had here since 2006 — "America's Funniest Home Videos" (6 p.m.); "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" (7 p.m.); "Desperate Housewives" (8 p.m.); and "Brothers & Sisters" (9 p.m.).

MONDAY:No changes here — a two-hour "Dancing With the Stars" (7 p.m.) will be followed by "Castle" (9 p.m.)

TUESDAY: A pair of new series will be sandwiched around the "Dancing With the Stars" results show (8 p.m.)

"No Ordinary Family" (7 p.m.) sounds sort of like a live-action "The Incredibles." After their plane crashes in the Amazon, the Powell family (Michael Chiklis, Julie Benz, Kay Panabaker and Jimmy Bennett) acquires superpowers. It sounds like a silly idea, but executive producer Greg Berlanti ("Everwood," "Jack & Bobby," "Dirty Sexy Money," "Eli Stone," "Brothers & Sisters") has never put a bad show on the air.

"Detroit 1-8-7" (9 p.m.) is a police drama shot documentary style. It follows the homicide unit working the murder capital of America. Michael Imperioli, Jon Michael Hill, James McDaniel, Aisha Hinds, Natalie Martinez and D.J. Cotrona star.

WEDNESDAY:A new sitcom and a new legal drama join three returning sitcoms — "The Middle" (which is moving up to 7 p.m.); "Modern Family" (8 p.m.); and "Cougar Town" (8:30 p.m.).

"Better Together" (7:30 p.m.) follows the romantic adventures of three couples — Maddie (Jennifer Finnigan) and Ben (Josh Cooke), dating for nine years; Maddie's sister Mia (JoAnna Garcia) and Casey (Jake Lacey), dating for seven weeks and about to get married and have a baby; and Maddie and Mia's parents, Vicky (Debra Jo Rupp) and Joel (Kurt Fuller), who have been married for 35 years. From a producer of "Friends" and "Joey."

THURSDAY:ABC adds one new show leading in to the returning "Grey's Anatomy" (8 p.m.) and "Private Practice" (9 p.m.).

"My Generation" (7 p.m.) is ABC's other documentary-style show — this one set at opposite ends of a decade. A film crew follows a group of Texas high schoolers as they're about to graduate in 2000, then returns in 2010 to follow up on what the real world has been like for them.
