ABC is to swap around Grey’s Anatomy and spin-off series Private Practice in their Thursday evening slots. However, the swap is just for one week – at the moment. On April 22nd Private Practice will air before Grey’s Anatomy because the spin-off will air an original episode whereas Grey’s will air a repeat – so the swap is to ensure a stronger, original episode, airs at 9pm. While it will only be for the week the swap follows CBS’s decision to swap around CSI and The Mentalist in its Thursday evening line-up. Last night’s episodes of CSI and The Mentalist continued to pull in strong ratings with 15 million and 16 million respectively.
