Grey’s Anatomy Moving to Thursday Night and ABC’s fall Lineup
According to the Houston Chronicle, Grey’s Anatomy will be on Thursday nights.
They also published the rest of the fall lineup for ABC. Not many changes and a few new (and probably bad shows).
The lowdown: ABC introduced a fall lineup Tuesday containing four new dramas and five new comedies.
In a surprise move, the network moved Grey’s Anatomy to 8 p.m. Thursdays, where it will compete with CBS’ CSI, the No. 1 drama on TV, and NBC’s Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, which may be the most anticipated show of the season.
ABC’s interest in Thursday is serious. In addition to moving Grey’s, it canceled Primetime et al..
The lineup:
Monday: Wife Swap; The Bachelor; What About Brian.
Tuesday: Dancing With the Stars; Let’s Rob, a comedy in which Donal Logue and a group of misfits plot to rob Mick Jagger (who will make recurring appearances); Help Me Help You, a comedy about group therapy; Boston Legal.
Wednesday: Dancing With the Stars; Lost; The Nine, a drama starring Chi McBride, Tim Daly and Scott Wolf about nine people caught in a bank robbery gone wrong.

Saturday: College football.

Sons & Daughters was funny as hell, thanks mysterious Neilson families for taking another cutting-egde, well-written, hilarious half-hour comedy off the air so we can all get see more of the same old shit.
If there was a channel that showed Arrested Developement, Sons & Daughters, Freaks & Geeks, Undeclared and Andy Richter Controls the universe; i would quit my job and watch it all day.
With a few notable exceptions, network TV is only slightly more entertaining than watching paint dry.
