NBC has shuffled the order of its lineup on Wednesdays beginning Oct. 4. Quantum Leap will now air at 8 p.m., followed by Magnum P.I. at 9 and Chicago encores at 10. The previous lineup was Chicago encores at 8, followed by Quantum Leap at 9 and Magnum P.I. at 10.
Fall schedule revisions continue at the broadcast networks, with NBC the latest to tweak its lineup. NBC’s makeover for its lineup isn’t as drastic as that of CBS — which had to do a nearly full teardown of its initially announced slate — but amid ongoing labor strikes in the industry, the network won’t have several shows it planned to roll out in the fall.
Magnum P.I.‘s reprieve at NBC is coming to an end. The network has opted not to order additional episodes beyond the 20-episode fifth season picked up last year.
