If this were a game of hide-and-seek, you’d accuse ABC of cheating, because the network plans to open its “Eyes” earlier than planned. ABC has rescheduled the premiere of the freshman drama for the end of March.
Originally scheduled to debut on Wednesday, April 13, the series has been moved up two weeks to March 30, where it will premiere in the comfortable 10 p.m. ET time period behind first-year hit “Lost” and the recently rejuvenated “Alias.”
“Eyes” stars Tim Daly (“Wings”) as Harlan Judd, the head of Judd Risk Management, a high tech group that delivers the private investigation goods while operating on the outer edge of what most people would consider legal. Judd and his staff of investigators — including A.J. Langer (“My So-Called Life”), Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon (“NYPD Blue”), Eric Mabius (“The L Word”) and Natalie Zea (“The Shield”) — work on sensitive cases for ultra-wealthy clients. They’re also known to occasionally spy on each other.
Laura Leighton (“Melrose Place”) and Rick Worthy (“Push, Nevada”) also star in the drama, which comes from John McNamara (“Fastlane”).
ABC boasts that the “Eyes” premiere will follow new episodes of both “Lost” and “Alias” in what should be a conducive home. For the season, “Lost” is averaging nearly 16.3 million viewers, while “Alias” has pulled in 13.5 million, though that drama will lose some of its steam facing “American Idol” in the weeks to come.
