Brothers & Sisters looks like a mess. They announced today Marti Noxon quit as the show runner after a disagreement with the creator. This after recasts and reshooting of the pilot.

I'll be shocked if they leave this trainwreck in that plum timeslot.

Yep, and now those same people will bitch about the really long break. I like how they have it scheduled.

Ugly Betty was one I planned on trying, but now there's no way. I already have Earl/Office, Smallville, and Survivor in that timeslot.

Ugly Betty is the one they should move to the post-DH slot. It's gotten good buzz, but it will really struggle in that slot (even though it is a good fit with Grey's).

Wow just Lost for me on ABC. poor showing.

I'm am really looking forward to this one, but personally I have very low hopes with all the behind-the-scenes drama that is going on... its a great promise with an awesome cast, but if the behind-the-scenes crap can't get straight soon it will DOA.

Betty is suppose to be a fun/family show and there is no way that ABC would move it to 10pm and I highly doubt putting it on after DH would be good (but using it as a leadin would have worked)...

Personally my opinion on moving the series is that they just doomed it and their Friday 9pm showing "Men in Trees"... I was really looking forward to that 2-hour Friday block on ABC, and their only competition would be 'las vegas' and 'crossing jordan' which are very different tonally shows... both shows could have lived out nice, long lives in that spot because a 7.5/8.5 million (which is what many project for Betty) would be suffect for a Friday show... but putting it on Thursdays at 8 is just plan bad, the show will be lucky to bring 4 million after episode three because of going again 'smallville,' 'office/earl,' and 'survivor'... and with no lead in for 'men in trees' they might as well give the actors their severence checks now...

Although I have a couple theorys about this move. Two ABC pilots "Secrets of a Small Town" and "October Road" were not given a series order, but ABC put the writers/actors in a contract incase they wanted to revisit the pilots over the next six months, and maybe one of these shows will be given a series order later in the year... And my other theory is that 'Kyle XY' is pulling in great numbers (considering what it usually got in teh Friday 8pm slot) on ABC and maybe they plan on continueing with it durring its second season in Jan/Feb/March...
