Eye on January
CBS has announced a couple of mid-season updates to its prime-time schedule, effective in January.
The not-very-funny Monday comedy Out of Practice will head to the land of hiatus (until March, that is) to make room for The Jenna Elfman Show. The new Elfman sitcom debuts on January 23 at 9:30.
On Tuesdays, during the break in-between this season’s two installments of The Amazing Race, CBS will slot the new Tom Cavanaugh (late of Ed) dramedy Love Monkey (9:00pm). Monkey, which follows the exploits of a single urban professional, kicks off on January 17.
For those of you who’ve been wondering what happened to the previously-announced Julia Louis-Dreyfus sitcom (now entitled The New Adventures of Old Christine), the show is still very much alive, and will likely see the light of day in March. Blame the premiere delay on a wealth of riches over at CBS: so much of its prime-time schedule is doing so well this season that there’s just not enough room for all of the shows that the network has waiting in the wings.
Of course, if the post-Seinfeld curse holds, then this will ultimately be one show for which CBS won't need to find a permanent time slot in the Fall.

Grey’s Anatomy fans, rest easy: the alphabet network has decided against moving the hit medical drama to Monday nights. For now, anyway.
The new ABC Monday night schedule, beginning in January, will look like this:
8:00 Wife Swap
9:00 Emily’s Reasons Why Not
9:30 Jake in Progress
10:00 The Bachelor
Emily’s Reasons is a new dramedy featuring Heather Graham as a single urban professional (am I the only one sensing a trend here?). Miraculously, last season's little-viewed Jake made the cut for another season (thus depriving star John Stamos of a regular role on this season's ER). And yes… The Bachelor… again. Just what the world needs.
Looks like Monday night will continue to be a great night... for watching public access, that is. Curtain Call, anyone?
