STAMOS IS A HAPPY MAN: Much to my surprise, newly resurgent ABC's schedule announcement represents significant shakeup. Only one night remains the same as it currently is (Sundays), while shows reshuffle all over the darn place. Among the moves of note:
  • Alias moves to Thursdays at 8, where we'll find out if Jennifer Garner can kick Mischa Barton's ass, assuming The O.C. remains in its current timeslot. (And Greg Grunberg is likely to return, as ABC has apparently passed on his pilot).
  • Boston Legal (as predicted by Adam) gets the Tuesdays at 10 slot formerly occupied by NYPD Blue and the late, unlamented, Blind Justice.
  • Lost moves to Wednesdays at 9, with the bizarre lead-in pair of George Lopez and Freddie, a new sitcom starring whipping boy Freddie Prinze, Jr.
  • ABC's most interesting new show, the Geena Davis as POTUS Commander in Chief, created by Rod Lurie, gets a nasty timeslot on Tuesdays at 9, pitting it against TAR, The Office, and Veronica Mars.

My projections? Wednesday eventually returns to a similar form we currently see it in rather than the bizarre shifting currently present with the comedies leading in to Lost. Today's big winners have to be Miss Tyra and Martha Stewart, whose reality shows now have much less competition in their current slot.
