As first teased by the Ausiello Report, Lost has found a new home - Thursdays at 9 pm/ET, with the new season premiering Jan. 31 (at which time fresh Grey's episodes will have expired). That pits the castaways against CSI repeats, Don't Forget the Lyrics, Celebrity Apprentice and Supernatural. Greg Berlanti's Eli Stone (starring Jonny Lee Miller and Victor Garber) debuts that same night, following Lost.

Also of note on ABC's just- (and finally!) released "strike" schedule: Oprah's Big Give, a new unscripted (and undoubtedly inspirational) series, will air Sundays at 9, pushing Housewives back an hour.

More scheduling announcements:

" Cashmere Mafia gets a special premiere on Thursday, Jan. 3, before claiming Wednesdays-at-10 as its regular home.

" Dance War: Bruno vs. Carrie Ann steps out with a two-hour special Monday, January 7, at 8 pm, then airs weekly 90-minute episodes after that. Samantha Who? returns with fresh episodes in February.
