A day after NBC's Thursday night mid-season schedule changes, ABC will alter its Thursday and Friday lineups. ABC's "Dancing With the Stars"--last summer's big hit--will return on Thursdays at
8:00 p.m., first as a two-hour premiere on January 5, then as a 90-minute show, starting on January 12. It will also have a half-hour results show on Friday. Also starting January 12, ABC will launch
a new show on Thursdays--"Crumbs," at 9:30 p.m. On Fridays, "Hope & Faith" will move to 8:30 p.m. starting January 6 to make room for a new hour drama,"In Justice," at 9:00 p.m.
