If you're the producer of "Grey's Anatomy," "Scandal" and "How to Get Away with Murder," apparently ABC just can't tell you "No."

That's the only plausible explanation for how

"Still Star-Crossed" ended up on the ABC schedule. Because it comes to us from executive producer Shonda Rhimes.

The hourlong drama begins with the last days of Romeo and Juliet, then continues the story as the Montagues and the Cupulets fight for control of Verona.

Rosaline Capulet is betrothed against her will to Benvolio Montague by Prince Escalus, who hopes to end the bitter feud between their families. But Rosaline and Benvolio have no intention of actually marrying each other.

It's lavish, multi-racial and a bit of a confusing mess.

And, apparently, being Shonda Rhimes will only get you so far. ABC ordered only seven episodes of "Still Star-Crossed," and it's airing them during the summer, with a debut on Memorial Day.
