The guys at NBC must be bored. Just a week after announcing its fall lineup, ABC News says that NBC has already revamped the lineup.
A few of the many moves include putting "Law & Order" on Fridays, and pulling the successful drama "Medium" from the fall schedule, with plans to make it a midseason replacement.
Even more surprising, they are moving Aaron Sorkin's "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" from Thursdays to create a must-see Monday. Apparently they didn't want to put the buzz-worthy drama in a doomed position against ABC's "Grey's Anatomy," which recently announced its move.
NBC's new fall schedule is as follows:
Monday
8:00 p.m. -- Deal or No Deal
9:00 p.m. -- Heroes*
10:00 p.m. -- Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip*
