NBC Shifts ‘Heartbreaker’ to Midseason

The tinkering continues. The latest post-upfronts scheduling change to the fall lineup is at NBC, where actress Melissa George’s pregnancy has prompted the network to shift the medical drama to midseason. The 8 p.m. Tuesday slot now goes to another doctor drama, Dick Wolf’s Chicago Med.
