ABC Schedules Original Episodes of HAPPY ENDINGS and DON’T TRUST THE B—- IN APARTMENT 23 on January 6th, Pulls 666 PARK AVE

When ABC announced that they wouldn’t be picking up the back nine for 666 PARK AVENUE, the plan was to have all 13 filmed episodes air. Now, it seems that might not be the case.

An ABC press release has come out saying that new episodes of HAPPY ENDINGS and DON’T TRUST THE B—- IN APARTMENT 23 will air in the Sunday at 10 PM slot on January 6, 2013. There’s no word on whether the comedies will continue there beyond that point (they each have episodes that weren’t set to fit into their current airing order) or 666 PARK AVE will join the Sunday lineup at a later point, but the new drama RED WIDOW is set to take over that spot on March 3, 2013.

I reached out to the ABC publicists to find out if there was any plan to air the remaining episodes of 666 PARK AVE (which have already been shot), and if they have any news to share, I’ll be sure to update you.

UPDATE 2:09 PM PT: Sources confirm the four remaining episodes of 666 PARK AVENUE have been pulled from their Sunday slot will be scheduled for a TBD summer run.

In the meantime, are you at least happy to get new comedy episodes?

BONES: Brian Klugman Cast as a New Squintern

BONES is officially adding another squintern to the mix: almost two months after BONES producers Hart Hanson and Stephen Nathan teased that a script was in the works with a new intern, a rep for the show has confirmed that Brian Klugman has landed the role.

According to TVLine (who was first to break the casting), the new squintern is named Oliver Wells, has four degrees, and isn’t intimidated by Brennan…which could either please her greatly or annoy her to no end.

Klugman is tentatively set to make his debut on BONES in late February.

Um, does anyone else see a slight resemblance between Klugman and BONES star TJ Thyne (Hodgins)?

BONES returns with (back-to-back) new episodes January 14, 2013.
