What happened to Wednesday p.m. TV?
We’ve had a number of calls from people wondering about last night’s TV shows that were bumped by weather reports. Here’s what we know: “CSI” on CBS will not be repeated; “Law & Order” on NBC was repeated at 1 a.m. last night and will not air again; “Boston Legal” on ABC will be repleated tonight at 11:05 p.m. after “Nightline.”

Fox fall schedule: ‘Back to You’ won’t be back, ‘24’ prequel coming in November
Last and certainly not least — thanks to mega-hit “American Idol” — powerhouse Fox unveiled its fall prime-time schedule today to advertisers and glitterati in New York.
Only two new series will join the lineup: “Fringe,” a sci-fi thriller from “Lost” creator J.J. Abrams that sounds disturbingly like that ABC series (including a mysterious airplane); and “Do Not Disturb,” a comedy set in a hip New York boutique hotel starring Jerry O’Connell as the hipster general manager and veteran Robert Wagner in a recurring role as the owner.
Missing from Fox? “Back to You,” the crackling TV newsroom sitcom starring Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton, which was just beginning to hit its stride, and the previously mentioned “K-Ville” and “Canterbury’s Law.” All three casualties were super-good shows, so it will be interesting to see if the newcomers perform any better.
As usual, Fox plans to hop out in front of the competition in late August with the Aug. 25 season opener of “Prison Break.”
The new season of “24,” which we’ve been waiting for since last season, when the writers’ strike nixed its January ‘08 return, now is scheduled for January ‘09. But to appease the addicted masses, Fox plans to air a two-hour “prequel” to the Jack Bauer adventure on Sunday, Nov. 23. Guess that will have to hold us.
And “Idol” takes its usual break before returning in January, too.
