ABC Likely Keeps JOB and AGAIN

I am – Hercules!!

Sources at ABC indicate that two favorites of Coax readers – the Sela Ward-Billy Campbell hourlong “Once and Again” and the Denis Leary half-hour “The Job” are likely back for the fall.

“The Mole” also seems to be getting a regular timeslot, though “Who Wants to Be A Millionaire” is said to be down to two installments per week and has been elimated from its longtime Sunday night berth.

Though ABC does not announce its slate until Tuesday, here’s how it seems to be shaping up:

8:30 What About Joan

* "Philly,” (Tuesday 10 p.m.), a lawyer show from Steven Bochco (“L.A. Law”) starring Kim Delaney (“NYPD Blue”); and

The two half-hours:

* “Jim Belushi,” a family comedy from Tracy Newman & Jonathan Stark (“The Nanny”) starring, uh, Jim Belushi (“Total Security”); and
