MIDSEASON: during the midseason ABC will introduce five new shows.

“The Family Tools” – new ensemble comedy from Bobby Bowman (“Raising Hope”, “My Name Is Earl”) and Mark Gordon (“Grey’s Anatomy”, “Criminal Minds”) about trying to find your true calling, right at home. The story revolts around Jack Shea who had never succeeded in anything but now he has to put his dreams on hold in order to take over the family handyman business from his father (played by J.K Simmons “The Closer”)

“How to Live With Your Parents (for the Rest of Your Life)” – new series about Polly (Sarah Chalke) who is a single mom that’s been divorced for almost a year. The transition wasn’t easy for her, especially in this economy and she had to move back home with her eccentric parents, Elaine (Elizabeth Perkins) and Max (Brad Garrett). But Polly and her parents look at life through two different lenses. Polly’s too uptight. Her parents are too laid back. Polly’s conservative when it comes to dating, while her parents are still sexually adventurous. With help from her best friend Gregg (Orlando Jones), her lovable yet irresponsible ex-husband Julian (Jon Dore) and her cool and fun assistant Jenn (Rebecca Delgado Smith) Polly takes her first steps toward getting a life, starting with a social one.

“Mistresses” – new provocative and thrilling drama about scandalous lives of a sexy and sassy group of four girlfriends, each on their own path to self-discovery. Savi (Alyssa Milano), a successful career woman working toward the next phase in her life, simultaneously bucking for partner at her law firm while she and her husband try to start a family of their own. Savi’s free-spirited and capricious baby sister, Josselyn (Jes Macallan), single, serial dating and partying, and regularly leaning on her big sister along the way. Their common best friend, April (Rochelle Aytes), a recent widow and mother of two, is rebuilding her life after tragedy and learning to move forward, with the support and guidance of her closest girlfriends. And friend Karen (Yunjin Kim), a successful therapist with her own practice, reconnects with the girls after her involvement in a complicated relationship with a patient goes far too deep.
