Break a leg! (That's show biz jargon.)
ABC tries to provide a range of regularly scheduled news, sports and entertainment programs to the public. Specials, as well as breaking local/national news coverage enable us to broaden our scope.
While we do our best to avoid preempting shows, our full programming schedule prevents us from guaranteeing if/when a program is re-aired. The best advice we can give you is to check your local listings and ABC.com whenever something unexpected pops up.
Scheduling decisions are made after careful thought and much analysis. Our goal is to match the right program with the most receptive audience. Although we realize that not every decision will please everyone, we welcome comments from viewers because they further help us understand how our programs are being received. As we've said before, your opinion counts. So stay on us!
Hey, we've all been there. Some of our favorite shows depart with a rousing series finale, others disappear without warning. Believe it or not, we're just as bummed as you are when this happens.
The challenge of network television is to keep pace with constantly changing tastes of the viewing public. Should one of your favorite shows leave this world all too soon, we sure hope other programs on ABC's schedule compensate with many hours of viewing pleasure. We've also found it helpful to wolf down a pint of your favorite ice cream while in mourning.
We all know Hi-Def totally rocks. ABC is one of the broadcast leaders in HDTV. ABC continues to program all of its primetime comedies, dramas and movies in HDTV, as well as a number of specials and sporting events. Check out the schedule page at ABC.com for all your HDTV favorites.
They all are. 'Nuff said.
ABC's regular primetime entertainment line-up is available in Spanish through Closed-Captioned subtitles or a Spanish audio track via the Secondary Audio Programming (SAP) system. Some folks around here are just now saying, "Oh…so that's what SAP stands for?"
Unfortunately, ABC and The Walt Disney Company's long-established policy does not allow the network to accept for review or consideration any ideas, suggestions, or creative materials not solicited by us or our subsidiaries. Our intention is to avoid misunderstandings when projects are created internally which might be similar to submissions made to us from outside the company. We think you'll agree that this policy is in everyone's best interest.
Hey, we don't like receiving unwanted messages either. So, you can either stop charging your phone so the battery dies and you'll never know the alerts are there or you can simply punch in a "stop code" using the following list as your guide:

Whether this is your first time online or you're a seasoned pro, we've spelled out our house rules for you below. Generally speaking, these rules simply require respect and good manners. Use common sense and you'll feel right at home.
OUR SPECIFIC HOUSE RULES ARE:
1. We live by words online, so we don't allow obscene, racist or sexually explicit language. We also reserve the right to remove postings that defame or insult anyone, and notes that are abusive or hateful. Any harassing notes or postings that might be construed as stalking will be deleted and made available to the proper law enforcement officials. We also reserve the right to remove notes that are off the subject or not in English. So in other words, just be cool.
2. No solicitations or advertisements are allowed. This includes advertisements for your business or latest get-rich-quick scheme. Such notes add clutter and devalue conversation.
3. You may not suggest or encourage illegal activity. ABC.com will assist law enforcement officials, so don't even think about it.
4. You must have copyright ownership of all material that you post on our bulletin boards and in our chats. No articles, recipes, song lyrics, art or graphics may be posted without the express written consent of the copyright holder.
5. You must respect the privacy of individuals. This means no posting of phone numbers, addresses, social security numbers or any other private information.
6. Good manners online means that you don't post the same note more than once. The online word for posting many times on one topic is "spamming." We don't allow that.
7. You participate at your own risk on the bulletin boards, in chat and in e-mail. You take responsibility for postings under your identification and use the information provided here at your own risk. ABC.com takes no responsibility for the content or opinions posted here.
8. ABC.com reserves the right to remove any postings (although it has no duty to do so).
9. By posting to any portion of ABC.com, you agree to abide by ABC.com's Terms of Use.
