I'm confused. Is Grey's Anatomy going to be on Mondays now?

Never mind the previous question. I missed the date change in the middle. OOPS! ?<img border=">

jpellis, you weren't the only one who did a double take as a result of that inconsistent use of whitespace, or in this case lack thereof. Not to mention the confusing comment. Grey's is listed at 9pm for Thursday, Sept 25. Yet 9pm Thursday, Oct 9 is noted as the "regular time period premiere." Did I miss something? They're both listed at 9pm on a thursday, so when did Oct 9th start coming before Sept 25th on the calendar? Something related to the 2 Grey's entries has to be wrong as shown.

I did the same thing re: Grey's, and was going to ask why it had moved to Monday. It was only after rereading a third time that I caught that it was still on Thursday.

What's the deal with Grey's Anatomy having a "regular time period premiere" on the 9th, a week after it's season premiere in the same timeslot on the 25? So. Confused.

The Grey's premire is going to be two hours long. My question is why is everything starting so late?

What happened to all of ABC's "strong women" series such as: Cashmere Mafia, Men in trees, Women's Murder Club?

There are too many reality shows and competition shows. I'm watching more and more USA Network these days because they seem to have all the new series.
