TWO NEW SITCOMS WILL JOIN ABC SCHEDULE

ABC will put two new comedy series on the prime-time schedule in March, sending two others to hiatus-land and moving the time slot of a third. The new programs are:

“Harry,” starring Alan Arkin “as a schemer extraordinaire” who runs a hospital purchasing department. It will air 8:30-9 p.m. Wednesdays, starting March 4.

“The Charmings,” which finds Snow White and Prince Charming and their family propelled by a miscast spell into 1980s suburbia. Caitlin O’Heaney, Christopher Rich and Judy Parfitt star in the comedy, booked for 8-8:30 p.m. Fridays, beginning March 20.

Meanwhile, “Head of the Class” will go on hiatus after its Feb. 25 airing, and “Mr. Belvedere” will follow after its March 6 broadcast. ABC said both would return to the prime-time schedule later this season. “Webster” gets a new time slot, moving from 8 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Fridays, as of March 20.

On March 13, the network will present a 90-minute special, “The Beach Boys--25 Years Together.”
