ABC really needs help on Thursday. Anything's an improvement over how Life As We Know It was doing.

It to me was like yet another another other cliche crappy show that you'd see on The WB and the creators of the show praised it as the next MSCL and IMO it's far from it.

Well... ABC just had an ad for Jake in Progress and it had "Series Premiere Thursday March 17th 8/7 Central". No mention of the Sunday special... why would ABC not mention it if it was still on?

I never watched so I have no opinion but I meant in terms of ratings.

You're not missing much. It sucked. I sort of have a grasp of your taste.... I don't think you would like it.

I knew that it's not a sitcom but wasn't thinking--I forgot that this thread is for only ABC sitcom news.

I'm sure Eyes will stay afloat now and get good ratings since it's no ABC's Wednesday lineup!

It has been pushed up two weeks to March 30th...

Yes.

THE PREMIERE OF "EYES," THE NEW MIDSEASON DRAMA SERIES
FROM JOHN McNAMARA, TO MOVE TO WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30,
ON THE ABC TELEVISION NETWORK

The network premiere of "Eyes," the new one-hour drama series from John McNamara -- the executive producer of "Fastlane" and the co-creator of "Profit" -- will move to a new date, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30 (10:02-11:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.

In the new drama series, impulsive, sharp-witted Harlan Judd (Tim Daly) runs Judd Risk Management, a discreet, high-tech private investigation firm that handles the cases with the highest possible stakes, while operating at the absolute fringe of the law. Along with ruthlessly efficient Nora Gage (Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon) and a staff of brilliantly skilled, driven individuals -- some with their own agendas and secrets -- Harlan does whatever it takes to prevail in a world of unsteady alliances and uncertain loyalties.

"Eyes" will premiere following original episodes of "Lost" and "Alias," with most of the new show's episodes airing after original installments of the two established series. On average, ABC's "Lost" leads the Wednesday 8:00 p.m. hour with 16.5 million viewers and a 6.0 rating, 16 share in Adults 18-49. At 9:00, "Alias" has averaged13.4 million viewers and a 5.6 rating, 13 share in Adults 18-49.

"Eyes" stars Tim Daly ("Wings") as Harlan Judd, Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon ("NYPD Blue") as Nora Gage, A.J. Langer ("My So-Called Life") as Meg Bardo, Laura Leighton ("Melrose Place") as Leslie Town, Eric Mabius ("Resident Evil," "The L Word") as Jeff McCann, Rick Worthy ("Collateral Damage") as Chris Didion and Natalie Zea ("The Shield") as Trish Agermeyer.

Created and executive-produced by John McNamara ("Fastlane," "Profit," "The Fugitive"), "Eyes" is a McNamara Paper Products production in association with Warner Bros. Television.
