IN JANUARY, after the NFL season ends, NBC's Sunday schedule will be "Dateline" at 6 p.m.; "Law & Order" at 7 p.m.; "Medium" at 8 p.m.; and Lipstick Jungle — based on the novel by "Sex and the City" author Candace Bushnell about three high-powered, female friends (Kim Raver, Brooke Shields and Lindsay Price) — at 9 p.m.

CANCELED SHOWS include "Andy Barker, P.I., " "The Black Donnellys," "Crossing Jordan," "Grease: You're the One That I Want," "Identity," "Raines," "Real Wedding Crashers," "Studio 60 On the Sunset Strip," "Thank God You're Here" and "Twenty Good Years."
