Women’s Murder Club Forces Change for Men in Trees

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, ABC, News, Renewals

Just last month, I commented about the poor treatment Scrubs was receiving by its bosses at NBC.  Now I’m starting to feel just sorry as for ABC’s Men in Trees—and I don’t even watch the show!

Earlier today, the Alphabet network finally got around to picking a return date for freshman show Women’s Murder Club.  What does this have to do with Trees?  Well, Club‘s three episode stint starting Tuesday, April 29th will not only force Boston Legal to find a new home elsewhere (Wednesdays @ 10pm starting April 30th), it will push Men in Trees off the calendar until….May 28th.  That means the Anne Heche program will essentially be left to find an audience during the small summer season. 

Now if a network really wanted to hate a show, wouldn’t it be nicer if they just came right out and said it?  Seriously—how is anyone supposed to watch the series if they don’t know when it’s going to be on?  That’s Marketing 101, people!

Schedule Changes for Lost, How I Met Your Mother, House

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Action, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Grey's Anatomy, House, Lost, Cancellations, Renewals

In the past few days, more scheduling announcements have been made to mess with our heads.  While all the changes have been reflected in our convenient Post-Strike Television Schedule, here are a few of the highlights.

• It’s been made official: Come April 24, Lost will move from 9pm to 10pm on Thursdays.  This change will make room for the returns of Grey’s Anatomy and Ugly Betty in their old slots.  (What this means for Eli Stone’s future is unclear.)
• When How I Met Your Mother returns on March 17th, it will be trading time slots with The Big Bang Theory.  (Mother will air @ 8:30, Bang @ 8:00.)  Meanwhile, the fate of the Neil Patrick Harris comedy beyond this season is still undecided.
• Monday night will eventually become a new home for Bones and House.  Bones will begin airing new episodes on that day come April 14; Hugh Laurie and the gang will start anew on April 28 @ 9pm.
• Certain shows like Las Vegas, Bionic Woman, Big Shots and Life is Wild have not been not granted post-strike episodes because they are not being renewed.  At all.
• Other programs like Heroes, Chuck, Pushing Daisies, Dirty Sexy Money and Private Practice won’t be seen again until next year.
