New Show From "Grey's Anatomy" Creator Premieres in January

"Off the Map," ABCs newest medical drama from the creator of "Grey's Anatomy," is set to premiere Wednesday January 12 at 10p.m.

The show will be taking the place of the now cancelled "The Whole Truth."

Below is an excerpt from the press release.

From executive producers Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers (“Grey’s Anatomy,” “Private Practice”) and executive producer/creator Jenna Bans (“Grey’s Anatomy”) comes an uplifting medical drama that explores how far one has to go in order to truly heal. Six doctors who have lost their way will go to the ends of the earth to try to remember the reasons why they wanted to become doctors in the first place, on “Off the Map,” premiering WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 12, 2011 (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

ABC Giveth and ABC Taketh Away

ABC gave full season pickups to "No Ordinary Family" and "Better With You." Both of these freshmen shows are the networks best performers out of all its new shows. This isn't saying much, as both have been getting around a 2.3 adult 18-49 rating.

The network also ordered four more episodes of "Brothers & Sisters," bringing its total episode count to 22. Five additional episodes were also ordered for "Detroit 1-8-7," bringing its total to 18 episodes.

Finally, ABC announced today, that "The Whole Truth" had been cancelled. This comes as no surprise due to its extremely poor ratings.

Cancellation Already Looming

It's only the second week into the new television season, but several new shows are already in danger of cancellation. Below is the list of who's in danger, and why they might be saved

1. Undercovers

Why it's in danger: Only premiered with a 2.0 in the 18-49 key demos, but that dropped to a 1.6 this week. Even with J.J. Abrams name attached to it, Undercovers chances of a full season pick up already seem very unlikely.

Saving Grace: Nothing, unless people start watching, which doesn't seem likely.

2. The Whole Truth

Why it's in danger: ABC's new legal drama started off in worse shape with a 1.6 in the demos, and dropped even further this past week.

Saving Grace: This isn't the only new show that's doing poorly for ABC, and I doubt the network wants all of its shows to fail.

3. My Generation

Why it's in danger: This ABC show also only premiered with a 1.6, and if the trends continue, will most likely drop further tonight.

Saving Grace: This isn't the only new show that's doing poorly for ABC, and I doubt the network wants all of its shows to fail.

4. Detroit 187

Why it's in danger: It's been getting a 2.2 in the key demos.

Saving Grace: It's been getting a 2.2 in the key demos, and for new dramas on ABC, that's looking good.

5. The Defenders

Why it's in danger: Out of all the new CBS shows The Defenders has the lowest ratings in the key demos with a 2.5.

Saving Grace: A 2.5 really isn't that bad. It's not great, but it's not bad.

6. Outlaw

Why it's in danger: In its time-slot premiere, it scored a 1.0. Granted it's on a Friday night, but that's not even good enough for the slowest weeknight of television.

Saving Grace: It's on Friday, but that's a stretch.
