ABC is shuffling its midseason lineup on four nights and breaking up its ratings-starved Tuesday comedy block, reports deadline.com.

The new half-hour comedies "Family Tools," starring Kyle Bornheimer, and "How to Live With Your Parents (For the Rest of Your Life," starring Sarah Chalke, Elizabeth Perkins and Brad Garrett, will join the Wednesday night lineup. That means lots of maneuvering to work the new shows in with the already hit series airing that night of the week.

The new drama "Red Widow," with Radha Mitchell in the lead, will take over the "666 Park Avenue" time slot on Sundays. "Zero Hour" which marks Anthony Edwards’ return to network TV, will take over the 7 p.m. Thursday slot from the canceled "Last Resort." And, after "Private Practice" ends its run, a new and improved “Body of Proof” will be back at 9 p.m. Tuesdays.
