The show, which is slated to debut this fall on ABC, is by _Suburgatory_ creator Emily Kapnek and stars the talented John Cho and Karen Gillan, but the result of all that talent falls very flat. While the show is called _Selfie_, don’t expect any [Louis CK-style introspection](http://time.com/97369/louie-so-did-fat-lady/ "undefined") or assessment — instead it’s basically MTVs _Awkward_ with a _My Fair Lady_ twist. Watch the first trailer above. **MORE**:[ABC Marks _Modern Family_ Finale By Paying for New York Weddings](http://time.com/97558/abc-modern-family-weddings-new-york/ "undefined") **MORE**: [Louie Checks His Privilege](http://time.com/97369/louie-so-did-fat-lady/ "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/99027/abcs-new-show-selfie-looks-even-worse-than-we-could-have-imagined/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/99027/abcs-new-show-selfie-looks-even-worse-than-we-could-have-imagined/"},"headline":"ABC's New Show Selfie Looks Even Worse Than We Could Have Imagined","datePublished":"2014-05-14T16:26:30.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:09:39.885Z","description":"Or maybe just watch Doctor Who instead","url":"https://time.com/99027/abcs-new-show-selfie-looks-even-worse-than-we-could-have-imagined/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","doctor who","selfie","abc"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/99027/abcs-new-show-selfie-looks-even-worse-than-we-could-have-imagined/","name":"ABC's New Show Selfie Looks Even Worse Than We Could Have Imagined"}}]}] ```
