Interesting.

"NCIS" and "The Unit" Report for Temporary Friday Duty, Beginning July
7

Casey McDonald's Guidance Counsellor, Ian J. Ball...

This is not so good, and makes little sense to me.

"How I Met Your Mother" 'Suits Up' For an Additional 9:30 PM
Broadcast, Beginning Monday, July 10

The July 5 Premiere of "Rock Star: Supernova" Expands to 90-Minutes

Casey McDonald's Guidance Counsellor, Ian J. Ball...

Ian (I guess this means I'll have more updates to do for Summer this
weekend...)

The houseguests of BIG BROTHER: ALL-STARS have a new home on Sundays,
one of several summer scheduling changes announced today by CBS.

The Saturday edition of BIG BROTHER: ALL-STARS will move to Sunday
(8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT), followed by the relocation of COLD CASE
(9:00-10:00 PM. ET/PT) and WITHOUT A TRACE (10:00-11:00 PM/PT) to
their new fall time periods, effective July 16. The move of BIG
BROTHER: ALL STARS to Sunday warms the time period for another reality
series in the fall when THE AMAZING RACE moves to Sundays at 8 PM.

Patrick Joseph Mc Namara...

I sort of liked having the hour to watch on Saturday night. It's going to
feel a little strange watching all the backstabbing, exhibitionism and
dishonesty on a Sunday.

The Tuesday edition of BIG BROTHER: ALL-STARS (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT)
and Thursday edition (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) will not change.

WITHOUT A TRACE will continue to be broadcast in its current Thursday
time period (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) through the remainder of the
summer.

In other summer scheduling moves, the July 5 premiere of ROCK STAR:
SUPERNOVA will be expanded to 90-minutes (8:00-9:30 PM, ET/PT),
followed by a 90-minute CSI: MIAMI.

NCIS and THE UNIT will relocate to Fridays for the duration of the
summer, effective July 7 with NCIS broadcast from 8:00-9:00 PM,
followed by THE UNIT from 9:00-10:00 PM.

Also, HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER will get two Monday airings, first in its
regular 8:30-9:00 PM time period and another following TWO AND A HALF
MEN (9:30-10:00 PM, ET/PT) beginning July 10. THE NEW ADVENTURE OF OLD
CHRISTINE returns Aug. 7.

John Anthony...

Giving How I Met Your Mother extra exposure is good, but I wish they had run
the remaining new episodes of Out Of Practice there instead. The show did
okay in that slot and new episodes in the summer would be nicer than more
reruns.
