And here's a local nugget from the network: Eddie McClintock, the former Canton resident co-starring on mid-season comedy '"The Crumbs," will indeed get to wear a Canton Hoover sweatshirt in the series premiere.

I noticed the shirt in the pilot and asked series creator Marco Pennette if the shirt will stay in the show when it airs or if scenes will be reshot, since '"The Crumbs" is set in New England. He said the shirt's a go. Eddie, meanwhile, missed the "Crumbs" press conference because he's shooting a movie. That means he missed seeing co-star William Devane kick off his sandals and go through the press conference barefoot…

ABC also announced the premiere dates for its fall shows, as follows:

Sept. 12 — "Wife Swap."

Sept. 20 — "According to Jim."

Sept. 21 — "Lost," "Invasion."

Sept. 27 — "Commander in Chief," "Boston Legal."

Sept. 28 — "George Lopez."

Sept. 29 — "Alias," "Night Stalker."

Oct. 2 — "America's Funniest Home Videos."

Oct. 4 — "Rodney."
