Tonight on the Tube: The Office, Grey’s Anatomy, Shark and Thanksgiving on the Food Network

The ABC show Six Degrees has been pulled from the lineup and put on hiatus. This is never a good sign for a show but as of now it has not been cancelled and may return next year. Tonight you will find a repeat Desperate Housewives in its place. In the future it looks like Men in Trees, which will move from Friday, will fill the vacancy. That would give you a pretty fun Thursday night lineup on ABC with Ugly Betty, Grey’s Anatomy and Men in Trees. It also looks like ABC will be giving Men in Trees more than just a cushy new timeslot and will pick up the show for the rest of the season. What do you think of this move? Are you happy for Men in Trees? Sad that Six Degrees has been put on hold? Let us know.
