ABC: 'Forgotten,' 'Eastwick,' 'Hank,' 'Middle,' more

With the most holes to fill next season, ABC has ordered at least eight new shows so far, including several comedies. On the drama side, there's a nice mix of procedurals ("Forgotten," "Happy Town"), sci fi ("Flash Forward," possibly "V") and, well ... "Eastwick" is tough to categorize, and that's nice to see too.

PICKED UP FRIDAY:

-- Jerry Bruckheimer's "The Forgotten," about amateur detectives solving cases with unidentified victims.

-- "Eastwick," based on the John Updike novel, three witches (Rebecca Romjin, Jaime Ray Newman, Lindsay Price) gain powers when a mysterious man comes to town
