Happy Thanksgiving from ABC Music Lounge!

There is much to give thanks for today. Not only is ABC presenting an intimate look at Thanksgiving with Lady Gaga, we have two free downloads to boot. See below for more on those...but back to one of my favorite artists whom I adore for her uniqueness and musical talent. I was front stage when she performed at Jimmy Kimmel Live and was instantly captivated by her prescence. Tonight Lady Gaga previews "Marry the Night," and talks fame, family and holiday rituals. Don't miss this intimate look into Thanksgiving with Lady Gaga tonight at 9:30|8:30c.

Now onto those free downloads. Each week ABC has been offering free downloads of music featured on Revenge. Until 7:00pm PST tonight, download the unreleased "Hold On" by Albama Shakes. Click below to view their profile and get the download. Hurry it ends soon!

ABC Music Lounge has also been opening the curtain to scoring sessions with composers for some of ABC's new hit shows offering free downloads of the composers score. Our first composer spotlight, featured composer iZLER and actress Madeleine Stowe discussing the score for Revenge (WATCH). This week, we open the curtain to feature composer Mark Isham and his score for our new hit show Once Upon A Time. Click below to watch Mark discuss the music and get the free limited time download.

I better get back and check that turkey in the oven. Have safe travels, good eating and a Happy Thanksgiving!

ABC's 2011 - 2012 New Shows

Fri, 20 May 2011 14:47:52 GMT

On Tuesday in New York ABC announced its upcoming line up of new shows for 2011|2012. A goal for ABC this year is to deliver some strong storytelling across a variety of genres. I think you'll see how prevalent this is in our following previews! Click the images to view the previews.

MONDAY
Did you see the season finale of Castle last Monday? After an ending like that I'm thankful that the show is coming back for another season because I have to know what happens to Beckett. Expect more great music from this show. It will follow ABC's most popular dance competition Dancing with the Stars which will continue to bring you performances from top name artists.

TUESDAY
On Tuesday's Cougar Town returns with more featured music and these three new hilarious new comedies.

Tim Allen returns to ABC in a comedy about a marketing director of an iconic sporting good store who lives in a home dominated by women; his wife and three daughters.

This showcases three modern men who try to get in touch with their inner tough guys and redefine what it means to be a "real man" in this funny and relatable comedy.

After a naïve Midwestern girl's big city dreams are dashed her first week in New York, she finds herself living with her worst nightmare in this hilarious, contemporary comedy about a female odd couple who are surrounded by an outrageous cast of characters included James Van Der Beek playing himself.

WEDNESDAY
The Middle, Modern Family and the new hit comedy Happy Endings return to Wednesday which closes out with two new shows.

This new comedy focuses on a single father raising a 16 year old daughter. After finding a condoms in her room, he uproots her from New York City to a neighborhood of plastic neighbors in the suburbs.

This fantastic new soap drama closes out Wednesday night in a town where Wealth, beauty and status define the people, but one woman is willing to destroy everyone for the sake of revenge.

THURSDAY
Our powerful music filled dramas Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice return and get topped with this delicious remake of a eye candy filled adventure series.

FRIDAY
Friday is family night with Extreme Makeover Home Edition followed by Shark Tank and 20/20.

SATURDAY
Saturday will belong to College Night Football and movies.

SUNDAY
The ladies on Wisteria Lane will return on Desperate Housewives sandwiched between these two great new shows.

A wicked witch puts an end to happily ever afters by sending our favorite fairytale characters to a modern town where they no longer remember who they are. I can't wait to see how producers use subtle clues to help us identify these well known characters living in a modern town called Storybrooke.

I'm a big fan of Christina Ricci and she looks great in this espionage filled period piece set at the beginning of the jet age in 1963.

MORE SHOWS COMING TO ABC

Another one of my favorites! Imagine if "Mean Girls" grew up, moved to Texas and became Good Christian Belles in a weekly soap. Cast includes another of my favorite actresses Kristin Chenoweth. You have to watch to hear her line that begins "Well darlin' we all hope you're hear for good..." it's hilarious.

Ashley Judd plays a mom whose son disappears while studying abroad. Exotic locations and thrilling twists will keep you riveted.

In the heart of the Amazon a legendary explorer goes missing. His family, friends and crew set out on a mysterious and deadly journey to find him on this adventure from Executive Producer Steven Spielberg.

I can think of one famous person in the media right now and several former politicians who wished they could obtain the services of Olivia Pope played by Kerry Washington. She is a professional crisis manager who dedicates her life to protecting and defending the public images of our nation's elite.

This high-concept comedy centers on two unrepentant guy's guys who, unable to find work, dress as women to get jobs as pharmaceutical reps.

I've given you a few of my favorite picks, I would love to hear yours.
