ABC Making Huge Changes To Their Lineup


ABC has decided on some big changes to their lineup.

Three major shows that premiered during the 2007 writers strike will be canceled by Christmas. "Eli Stone," "Dirty Sexy Money" and "Pushing Daisies" have all been terminated.

Some changes will also be made mid-season to the current schedule.

Spinoff "Private Practice" will be moved from their 9 p.m. Wednesday timeslot and will be sent to Thursday at 10 p.m. after "Grey's Anatomy." "Practice" will be moved to Thursday mid-December as an attempt to boost ratings since its lackluster viewership of Season 2 which premiered in October.

And starting January, "Scrubs" will join the network's Tuesday lineup and "Life on Mars" will be moved to Wednesdays in place of "Private Practice."

The only big shows that haven't been moved are "Desperate Housewives" and "Ugly Betty" which are actually still doing great in their fifth and third seasons.
