The peacock network has released their new schedule for mid-season and the programmers have made some interesting choices. Low-rated Prime Suspect is nowhere to be found while Harry’s Law has been relocated to Sunday nights.

Struggling Community is taking a break but the network maintains that it will be back. Up All Night and Whitney are switching nights and timeslots. Low-rated Rock Center with Brian Williams is moving to Wednesdays while successful Grimm is staying put on Fridays. Despite performing dismally last season, the network is running Dateline on Sundays at 7pm once again.

Show premieres include Smash, Fashion Star, Are You There, Chelsea? (formerly Are You There, Vodka? It’s Me, Chelsea), and The Firm. Returning series are Celebrity Apprentice, Who Do You Think You Are?, and 30 Rock.

Here’s the press release from NBC:
