CBS is making a change on Thursday. Midseason series _Angel From Hell,_ starring Jane Lynch and Maggie Lawson, has been cancelled effective immediately. It aired five episodes of its


13-episode order. Starting next week, the single-camera comedy will be replaced by multi-camera veteran_ 2 Broke Girls,_ which will return to Thursdays where it aired last season and earlier


this season. (A _Big Bang Theory_ repeat will fill_ Angel From Hel_l’s Thursday 9:30 PM slot this week.) CBS opened a temporary comedy block in the Wednesday 8-9 PM hour in January to


bridge the two installments of _Survivor_. The block, consisting of _2 Broke Girls_ and departing_ Mike & Molly,_ will wrap its run this week as_ Survivor_ comes back next Wednesday._ 2


Broke Girls_ will make its Thursday season debut the following night, Feb. 18. _Angel From Hell,_ starring Lynch as a young woman’s (Lawson) caustic guarding angel, was originally slated to


debut as part of CBS’ post-Thursday Night Football lineup in November but its launch was pushed to January. There had been rumors about creative issues on the high-concept series, which has


drawn modest ratings by CBS’ Thursday comedy block standards, in the 1.3-1.4 rating range among adults 18-49 (live+same day). The _2 Broke Girls_ move takes care of the remaining episodes of


the 22-episode fifth-season comedy. There are also several episodes left of the 13-episode final season of _Mike & Molly_. They are rumored to air Mondays in the 8 PM hour after_


Supergirl_ ends its limited freshman run.
