In an announcement that will undoubtedly please the old-skewing series’ fans, NBC confirmed Monday it will move “Harry’s Law” to Sundays at midseason, strongly implying it plans to issue a back nine order to the dramedy.
Never a demographic standout in its Monday timeslot last year, “Harry’s Law” has been getting swallowed against “Criminal Minds,” “Modern Family” and “The X Factor” in its current Wednesday at 9PM timeslot. Beginning this January, it will get a chance to perform at 8PM on Sundays as part of NBC’s January-March midseason schedule.
It will lead into two-hour editions of “The Celebrity Apprentice.”
The network also confirmed a number of other scheduling shakeups–“Community,” for instance, will sit on the bench in favor of a returning “30 Rock,” which relocates to 8PM on Thursdays. Wednesday freshman “Up All Night” will move to the post-“Office” slot on Thursdays, sending “Whitney” to its current 8PM slot, where it will be paired with similar-skewing “Are You There, Chelsea?”
The two Wednesday comedies will lead into a relocated “Rock Center with Brian Williams.”
“The Firm,” meanwhile, will step into the Thursday at 10PM slot, sending “Prime Suspect” to the bench.
Following the culmination of “Chuck,” “Who Do You Think You Are?” will assume the Friday at 8PM slot, leading into “Grimm.” Mondays will be as originally reported–“The Voice” from 8-10PM and “Smash” closing out the night.
Like “Community” and “Prime Suspect,” new series “Awake” is conspicuously absent from the midseason schedule.
