LOS ANGELES (thefutoncritic.com) -- October kicked off with a slew of changes on the cable networks. Here's a breakdown of the latest developments:

-- Syfy has quietly bumped its newcomer "Beast Legends" to the late-night slot of 1:00 AM ET on Thursday nights/Friday mornings. The series, in which mythological monsters are recreated using computer animation, drew a modest 642,000 viewers - and a 0.3 adults 18-49 rating - on Thursday, September 23 at 10:00/9:00c, undoubtedly leading to the change.

-- Discovery has slated "Brew Masters," formerly known as "Brewed," for Sunday, November 21 at 10:00/9:00c. The series tracks Sam Calagione, owner of Dogfish Head Brewery in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, as he "travels the world to experience what every culture brings to its own special brew." Leading into the newcomer will be "Dirty Jobs," which relocates to Sundays at 9:00/8:00c that same night.

-- TLC will resume first-run episodes of "The Little Couple" on Tuesday, October 12 at 10:00/9:00c. The show's third season will take over for "Sextuplets Take NY," which shifted to the 7:00/6:00c hour earlier this week.
