Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes...

I hope you put your weekly TV viewing plans in pencil, because there are about to be a lot of changes…

For those of you who were looking forward to the premiere of “The Knights of Prosperity” (including me), you’re going to have to wait a little longer. ABC has postponed the premiere until at least January. This means that “Dancing with the Stars” will remain at 90 minutes through its entire run.

ABC says the change was made because “Knights” did not have enough viewer recognition (In fact, I received a survey from ABC last week on this subject.), so they want to give it a better promotional push. Personally, I think the lack of recognition may have had more to do with the constant title changes than anything else. You may recall that the show was originally called “Let’s Rob Mick Jagger,” but after Jagger refused to appear in any episodes other than the pilot, the title was scrapped. The thieves will now plot against other stars as well, including Kelly Ripa and Ray Romano…

A good sitcom is an extremely rare thing these days. So, thankfully, CBS is taking steps to save one of theirs. Beginning Monday, “The Class” will move to 8:30 p.m. after “How I Met Your Mother.” The switch comes after “Class” posted its lowest numbers yet this week. Ironically, this lineup was the one CBS unveiled in May, but they changed their minds at the last minute in September.

“The Class” is, in my opinion, the best new comedy of the year thus far, so I totally applaud CBS for the move…

The most moves are taking place at FOX, where almost all of their dramas will shuffle after baseball. “Standoff” will move to 8 p.m. on Tuesdays, returning “House” to its usual timeslot at 9. “Vanished” is moving to Fridays at 9 p.m. beginning October 27th and “Justice” will move to Mondays at 9 beginning October 23rd.

You know that I’m thrilled that FOX is trying to save “Justice,” but Mondays at 9? Have the people at FOX not heard about a little show called “Heroes”? The “Standoff” switch had always been planned, but I’m not sure what to think about the “Vanished” move. Personally, I don’t think it sounds promising.

Of course, this is FOX, so you shouldn’t get used to this schedule because it will all change again in January…
