ABC CHANGES SCHEDULE FOR `ROSEANNE,' `GRACE,' `ELLEN'

ABC's women are on the move.

The network has announced new times for ``Roseanne,'' ``Ellen'' and ``Grace Under Fire.''

Beginning March 29, ``Roseanne'' will move from 9 p.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday. Ellen will move into the 8:30 p.m. slot, followed by ``Grace'' at 9 p.m.

ABC said it wants to give ``Grace'' the opportunity to anchor a competitive hour. The series ranks fourth so far for the season, while the once-invincible leader ``Roseanne'' has taken a dip to No. 9.

A new sitcom will add a male voice to the evening: ``Bringing Up Jack,'' starring comedian Jack Gallagher, begins airing Wednesdays at 9:30 p.m., after a March 28 preview.
