NOTES: In May 2006, when ABC announced their fall lineup for the 2006-2007 TV season, Big Day and Notes from the Underbelly was scheduled to air at 8PM and 8:30PM ET.[2] However, due to both shows not getting "buzz" before their fall premieres, ABC moved Ugly Betty from its planned Friday night 8PM slot to the Thursday night 8PM ET slot. Big Day and Notes from the Underbelly aired later on in the season on different nights.

Fast Cars and Superstars debuted June 7 on ABC as a lead-in to coverage of the 2007 NBA Finals.
