ABC pulled the comedy The Knights of Prosperity from its fall schedule, but as the network and the show’s creators see it as a good thing.
The series is about a group of misfits who decide to rob Mick Jagger’s New York apartment. It had been scheduled to debut Tuesday, Oct. 17, following Dancing with the Stars. A midseason premiere looks more likely.
The delay should let ABC give Knights a bigger promotional push. The network has spent a lot of money for other new shows like The Nine and Six Degrees, so they want to make sure Knights doesn’t get lost in the shuffle.
As a result, the Tuesday edition of Dancing with the Stars will continue running for 90 minutes through at least Oct. 24. The network hasn’t made a decision on what to do the 9 to 9:30 p.m. spot after that.
