Yeah, NBC is planning to move Law & Order back to it's old Wednesdays 10/9c slot with Criminal Intent acting at the lead-in at 9/8c. So, Bionic Woman and Life are getting bumped. Bionic Woman might be dead and Life is getting a trial run after Heroes tonight.

I'm not terribly keen on Criminal Intent being the lead in for Law & Order because when it was the lead in for SVU, it got demoted to being on USA. Then again, NBC is desperate.

Life has a full season order while Bionic doesn't so it's coming back, but where is the question.

Life will only return if the strike ends in time. If there isn't enough time, the eps may not be produced or perhaps saved for fall. If it does return, I could see Monday at 10 depending on this week and whatever ends up airing there as well as Friday or Sunday night.

I'm glad. I figured Criminal Intent would come back to NBC and I don't watch it on USA because I don't get it in HD. I know that's kind of spoiled, but it's not as if I've been starving for scripted programming this fall.

Will the CI episodes have aired previously on USA?

Yes, but only around 3.5 million have been watching so I expect it to draw around 6 million per episode on NBC.

Smart move by NBC. Law and Order block will do better than Bionic Woman/Life.

2 hours of Las Vegas repeats could rival that death block.
