Starting Feb. 7, "'70s" will shift to Mondays at 8 p.m., with repeats skedded to air at 8:30 p.m. during the sweeps. In March, Fox will likely sked a new laffer -- possibly midseason contender "Titus" -- at 8:30 p.m. Mondays.

"Time," the "Party of Five" spinoff starring Jennifer Love Hewitt, had been airing Mondays at 8. Fox may bring it back on Tuesdays in March.

For the February book, Fox will air specs from 8-9 p.m. Tuesdays, including "Banned in America: World's Sexiest Television," "Truth Behind the TV Sitcom Scandals" and "Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire."

Fox will also stunt with movies and specs Wednesdays at 9, the current home of "Get Real." It's unclear when "Real" will return.

While "That '70s Show" has been doing groovy Nielsens on Tuesdays, the show did equally well on Monday nights during the summer.
