Schedule Changes

Three weeks into the new TV season, and already I'm having fits recording my shows with all the changes.

All changes are effective immediately unless otherwise noted.

Smith was put on hiatus. Odds are it's not coming back.

How I Met Your Mother and The Class switiched timeslots.

Kidnapped is moving to Saturdays starting 10/21. NBC promised producers and critics that they'd stick with this show until its 13 episodes had aired. I'm not holding my breath, but NBC dumped the show to a night where there are NO expectations (and no original scripted programming during prime time), so who knows?

Justice moves to Mondays 10/23.

Vanished will do just that (vanish) on Fridays starting 10/27. The show did a ballsy/necessary plot move on its last episode, but I doubt it'll save the show-- especially on Fridays.

Standoff and House do the pre-arranged timeslot switch when they return 10/31.

The CW Sunday comedies (including the wonderful Everybody Hates Chris) move to Mondays, and Seventh Heaven and Runaway move to Sundays (assuming Runaways makes it another week or two).

And as I noted in an earlier post, The Knights of Prosperity's premiere is being delayed until mid-season.

It's the 10/6/06 posting, so you may have to scroll down a little (as I write this, it is the top post).
