I took a break from TV tonight to attend a screening of "300." An impressive movie in many respects, though I have a few reservations. I will be posting more about it, as well as some catch-up TV, sometime on Wednesday.

As late as this afternoon, NBC's consumer Web site said "Medium" would return after football. But with trouble spots in its drama schedule — and with "Medium" fans very vocal — the network is moving more quickly. Here is today's announcement:

NBC will return the hit drama "Medium" - starring Emmy Award winner Patricia Arquette –to its primetime schedule on Wednesday, November 15 (10-11 p.m. ET), it was announced today by Kevin Reilly, President, NBC Entertainment.

"We have been waiting for the right moment to bring back this excellent, chilling drama to our lineup and we know this will make the show's legion of devoted fans very happy," said Reilly.  "'Medium' is an especially creative show, led by the vision of executive producer-creator Glenn Gordon Caron, that is ready to hit the ground running with its new season of thrilling episodes."
