ABC Unveils Midseason Schedule; Lost Moves to Thursdays

ABC has released their midseason, strike-affected scheduled...and it's a doozy! The schedule is so complicated, in fact, that it changes by the month!

New drama Cashmere Mafia will debut on Thursday January 3 at 10PM before settling into it's regular Wednesday 10PM slot, while Lost will appear on Thursday evenings for the first time, at 9PM. It will be followed by the new drama from Brothers & Sisters creator Greg Berlanti Eli Stone at 10PM. Desperate Housewives will also see a new timeslot -- Sundays at 10PM.

The Dancing with the Stars spin-off Dance War: Carrie Ann vs. Bruno will take over the DWTS spot on Mondays from 8-9:30PM in January and February, with a results show on Tuesdays from 9-10PM. DWTS will return to it's usual slot in March.
