We've got good news and relatively bad news for this week in television. See, the bad news concerns schedule shifts while the good news is the addition of cast members to several shows. Let's get on with it:
Common Law Delayed
USA Network has announced that their new series won't be premiering on January 26 as planned. Instead,
Common Law will kick off in the summer. But if you can't wait to see Michael Ealy and Warren Kole, watch out for the network's presentation in the upcoming winter TCA Press Tour. [

Sabrina the Teenage Witch?
Broadway for NBC's Smash?
NBC's series about a Marilyn Monroe musical is being eyed by Broadway composer and lyricist Marc Shaiman. With its original songs and compelling characters, there's a huge possibility for its transition onto the stage. But maybe they'll decide on that after the premiere. Catch
Smash as it debuts on February 6, 10pm after
The Voice. [

Jim Beaver Gets Justified
After the news that
Mark Pellegrino got cast on Castle, here's news on Jim Beaver's latest gig. We all know Bobby's fate remains uncertain on
Supernatural, but at least we can be sure of Beaver's.
The actor is slated return to
Justified on FX, playing mine manager Shelby, who appeared in season 2. There's a possibility that it's a multi-episode arc extending for several episodes, which, of course, makes us worry about his return to
Supernatural. [
