ABC Releases Fall 2009 Premiere Dates

ABC has released their plans for the 2009 Fall season premiere dates and what a surprise it’s chock full of “Dancing with the Stars.” How NBC is losing to ABC is beyond me when you look at a line-up like this, but it probably does have something to do with “DWTS.” Hmm, too bad “Cougar Town” probably isn’t as cool as it sounds.
