Just in time to put us out of our strike-related misery, ABC has announced that the new season of “Lost” will debut Jan. 31. The castaways drama will air Thursdays at 9 p.m. in the old “Grey's Anatomy” slot. No word on where “Grey's Anatomy” will go once the strike is resolved and new episodes are being produced again.
The new ABC schedule will also feature new shows. The gal-pal series “Cashmere Mafia” debuts Jan. 3 at 10 p.m., and “Dance War: Bruno vs. Carrie Ann” debuts Jan 7 at 8 p.m. The supernatural legal drama “Eli Stone” debuts Jan. 31 at 10 p.m., and Oprah Winfrey's “Oprah's Big Give” premieres March 2 at 9 p.m.
Next year will also see the return of “According to Jim” (Jan. 1), “Wife Swap” (Jan. 2), “Supernanny” (Jan. 2), “Dancing With the Stars” (March 17) and “The Bachelor” (March 17).
