Of course, if you work on the new show The Class, the word "slightly" might not be appropriate here.
CBS was going to move How I Met Your Mother to Mondays at 8pm, and put the new show The Class (about a group of third grade kids who reunite when they're older) into the 8:30 slot, so it gets a good lead from HIMYM (I'm tired of typing that out all the time) and sandwiched between that show and Two and a Half Men.
