Question: I'm a little worried: I love
The Closer and I enjoy watching
Heartland right afterward. But the previews for
Saving Grace indicate that it is going to go on in the
Heartland time period. Have they already canceled this great show? I hope not. I hope they are just going to preview
Saving Grace, then it will move to a different time period. Please don't tell me that
Heartland is leaving already. It has only been on for a few episodes.
Answer: Matt Roush: You're right to be worried. The numbers for
Heartland didn't hold up, and it wasn't getting much critical buzz, to put it mildly, so TNT decided to switch things around and, starting Monday, it has moved
Heartland an hour before
The Closer on Mondays as a lead-in.
Saving Grace was originally scheduled to air on a different night of the week, but TNT is now hoping that
Closer fans will stay tuned for
Holly Hunter's oddball new show, which feels at times like an R-rated
Touched by an Angel uneasily mixed with a procedural crime drama. I'm not sure TNT will do any better with
Grace than it did with
Heartland, but it will probably get a lot more attention. And if
Heartland doesn't pick up some steam in the earlier time period, it's almost certainly toast.
