ABC cuts back on scripted shows

Network trims orders for 2008-09 season

ABC has joined most of the other broadcast nets in opting to cut back some of its scripted development for the 2008-09 season.

Alphabet telegraphed its intention to reduce its script roster last week, but until today, it hadn't made any moves in that direction. In the meantime, CBS, Fox and the CW all informed dozens of scribes that their projects were no longer wanted.

NBC Wednesday said it wouldn't trim back any of its script orders for next season.
