    MUMBAI: US broadcaster ABC has unveiled 10 fresh shows including ?666 Park Avenue?,

    ?The Family Tools?, ?How to Live with Your Parents (For the Rest of Your Life)?, ?Last Resort?, ?Malibu Country?, ?Mistresses?, ?Nashville?, ?The Neighbors?, ?Red Widow? and ?Zero Hour during its upfront.

    This will be the first time that the network will be without ?Desperate Housewives? which came to an end. The tagline of the presentation was ?Why just watch when you can feel??

    Returning shows include ?America?s Funniest Home Videos?, ?The Bachelor?, ?Body of Proof?, ?Castle?, the dance based reality show ?Dancing with the Stars?, ?Revenge?, ?Scandal?, ?Shark Tank? and ?Wife Swap?.

    666 Park Avenue is a supernatural-ish drama about a mysterious Manhattan apartment building where residents can realise all their dreams but must pay a price. ?Nashville? is a country music soap
    starring Connie Britton as an aging country star and Hayden Panettiere as a young upstart looking to steal her glory.

    ABC Entertainment Group president Paul Lee shared ABC?s plans for next season and presented the network?s 2012-2013 Fall schedule before the advertising and media communities at Lincoln Center?s Avery Fisher Hall.

    "We are using the success we achieved last season as a strong foundation to launch some more great shows this time around. Last year was about stability and ambition, this year is about growth and continuing momentum, with strong programming that will stake ABC?s claim on more nights as the home of quality entertainment."

    ABC will try to bulk up its comedies -- which include ?The Neighbors?. That show gets lead-out position at 9:30 pm after ?Modern Family? on Wednesdays.

    "We knew we wanted a family comedy. The neighbors are aliens. Country music-themed soap ?Nashville? will be a new addition at 10 p.m. on Wednesday." said Lee.

    ?Dancing with the Stars will be an all-star version bringing back big "Stars" winners from the past.

    ?Revenge? moves into into the 9 pm slot on Sundays formerly occupied by ?Desperate Housewives?. Lee praised it as being one of the season?s most-buzzed-about shows. ?Nashville? will take over Revenge?s 10 pm slot on Wednesdays.
