AmericanLife TV Holiday Highlights; More 'Benson' This Friday; ABC Benches 'The Nine'
Meanwhile, in not surprising news, the TV Land Friday Night Movie Encore for this week has been moved once again to 12 noon Saturday, so we get more Benson. Details here.
Finally, ABC's critically acclaimed new drama The Nine has been pulled from the schedule effective immediately. The show has been doing poorly in the ratings. A special 20/20 will air this Wednesday in its 10 p.m. slot. Cheap in America is the topic. Then starting Wednesday, December 5, ABC will put a special series of specials called Primetime: Basic Instincts to the slot. This series asks if you can trust your basic instincts to find an unknown person, do the right thing in life and death situations, get rich or search for a missing person. The Nine is on hiatus and will return later in the season, ABC says, the same thing has been done to Six Degrees.
ABC is expected to announce its January schedule changes this week, if all goes well. New sitcom The Knights of Prosperity is slated for Wednesdays now, instead of Tuesdays...we will have details when available.
And if you missed it yesterday, we put up our review of the new sitcom Big Day. The sitcom premieres TOMORROW at 9 p.m. on ABC.
