ABC makes room on Tuesdays for ‘Murder Club’

The “Women’s Murder Club” is returning to ABC, but that will necessitate the movement of a couple of shows currently on the network’s schedule.

The show, based on James Patterson’s novels, will return to the ABC schedule with three new episodes at 10 p.m. on April 29.

Unlike its mediocre Friday-night time slot earlier this season, it will have a prime place on the schedule following the “Dancing with the Stars” results show.

Moving “Women’s Murder Club” to Tuesdays means that “Boston Legal,” which resumes its season next week, will slide to Wednesday nights at 10 starting April 30.

That move, in turn, will bump “Men in Trees” from the schedule for several weeks. It will return May 28 for the final three episodes of its season.

“Women’s Murder Club” stars Angie Harmon, Laura Harris, Aubrey Dollar and Paula Newsome as the titular club, a detective, prosecutor, reporter and medical examiner who pool their resources to solve murders.

It averaged about 9 million viewers a week during its run on Friday nights in the fall.
