ABC - Midseason Schedule

ABC is set to release it's Mid-Season schedule today and there are quite a few changes on it.

OUT - Boston Legal, Pushing Daisies, Dirty Sexy Money and Suppernanny
IN - The Bachelor, True Beauty, LOST, According to Jim, Scrubs, Here Come Newlyweds
MOVED - Private Practice, Life On Mars

On the surface, it looks like ABC is addressing the Thursdays at 10pm problem and the WHOLE Wednesday Night Issue. Both nights should be stronger with the moves.

Tuesdays look to be filler for the spring since its going up against American Idol and the CBS Crime Dramas. Don't expect much from them

Mondays should be much weaker until Dancing With the Stars returns in March, but again, its just filler.

ABC usually takes a nose dive in the winter/spring, but this may keep the dive from being as steep as it has been in past seasons.
