Encores of Law & Order: SVU will air in the Thursday 10p time slot that Do No Harm occupied this week and next, with a permanent schedule replacement to be announced soon.

NBC execs will surely be Up All Night now that Christina Applegate announced her departure from the show late last week. Up All Night is currently on hiatus in its second season, in order to revamp its format from single-camera to multi-camera, including new sets to accommodate a live studio audience. “It’s been a great experience, but the show has taken a different creative direction and I decided it was best for me to move on to other endeavors, ” Applegate said in a statement. “Working with Lorne Michaels has been a dream come true and I am grateful he brought me into his TV family.” Production on five new episodes is slated to resume this month and the sitcom is scheduled to return to NBC’s lineup in late spring. Up All Night had posted an average 1.3 rating with A18-49 on Thursdays at 830p.

With Tyler Perry producing two scripted shows on OWN, it seems to be a whole new world for the network, which is known for its real-life, timely interviews with the likes of Lance Armstrong. So how does one explain the swing between such different focuses? OWN President Sheri Salata (who serves along with Prez Erik Logan) has the answer. “It’s not all that different from the Oprah show,” says Salata. “It’s a wide lane; through the lens of Oprah’s intention, you can just about do anything. The network showed its beating heart last year, and now we want some funnies. That’s where Tyler comes in.”
