ABC has pulled “Extreme Makeover” from its schedule after only one episode, the season premiere, failed to attract an audience necessary to maintain the four specials that were set to air this year.
Repeats of “Grey’s Anatomy”, which had originally been airing in the time-slot, will once again occupy the 8:00 PM hour.
The season premiere averaged only 4.83M viewers, second to last for the network on the week.

Beginning November 30th, NBC will premiere and new line-up on Thursday nights, removing Deal or No Deal and replacing it with two sitcoms; the new “30 Rock” and the returning “Scrubs”.
“Deal Or No Deal” will not be moved to a new night, instead that franchise will go on with just two episodes a week; Monday and Friday.
The new line-up will be as follows:
- 8:00 PM – “My Name Is Earl”
- 8:30 PM – “The Office
- 9:00 PM – “30 Rock”
- 9:30 PM – “Scrubs”
That obviously means there will be three scripted medical shows on the evening; Grey’s Anatomy at 9:00 PM on ABC, and Scrubs at 9:30 PM and E.R. at 10:00 PM on NBC.
“Twenty Good Years” (which currently leads out of “30 Rock” Wednesday’s at 8:30 PM) has been put on an indefinite hiatus.
