ABC will move Revenge to Sundays and Happy Endings to Tuesdays this fall, shifting two of its most buzz-worthy shows in an attempt to spread their success across the schedule. Revenge will inherit the 9 p.m. Sunday slot long home to Desperate Housewives, with ABC hoping the huge lead-in supplied by freshman drama Once Upon a Time will turn Revenge from solid success (its Wednesday status) into legitimate hit. Happy will be paired with Don’t Trust the B— on Tuesdays from 9 to 10 p.m., echoing the network’s announced plans from last fall. Other big shifts: ABC will launch family-friendly comedies on Fridays from 8 to 9 p.m. (anchored by Tim Allen’s show), move Private Practice to Tuesdays at ten, and give the Jamie Gertz comedy The Neighbors the plum post–Modern Family slot on Wednesdays at 9:30 p.m. (with new sudser Nashville following at 10 p.m.).
