Fall Predictions

CBS

The likely winner of the season, things seem to be rocking on Mondays, Tuesday and Thursdays. In between, there are some winners, but some truoble spots.


Series To Work With:  King of Queens, Yes, Dear, Everybody Loves Raymond, CSI Miami, JAG, The Guardian, Judgign Amy,  60 Minutes II, Survivor, CSI, Without A Trace, 48 Hours Investigates, The District, The Agency, 60 Minutes, Sunday Movie

Probables:  Still Standing, Star Search, The Amazing Race, Hack, My Big Fat Greek Life, Becker


Monday:  The big question is, will this line-up remain in tact? With "Raymond" aging (it's down for the first time ever), CBS does need some need blood. In an out-there prediction, the net could air two new series at 8:30pm and 9:30pm. 

Tuesday:  Nothing wrong here, though "JAG" will probably bow out soon, so a replacement is needed.

Wednesday:  There's been some trouble here this season, but "Star Search" has really seemed to work at 8pm. But still, that's more of a fill in series. Will CBS try something different? If it really wants to open another night of sticoms, it could go with "Yes, Dear" (which seems to have a solid fan base), a new series, "My Big Fat Greek Life" and "Becker" at 9:30pm, then "60 Minutes II" at 10pm.... maybe....

Thursday:  Again, nothing wrong here.

Friday:  There is, however, something very wrong here. Simply put, the net needs something for 10pm. "Hack" should be back, but just like "Now & Again" and "The Fugitive" before it, don't count on it.

Saturday:  9-11pm is working, but a new drama is needed at 8pm. As suggested at thefutoncritic.com, the "JAG" spin-off could work in the hour.

Sunday:  CBS needs a new drama for the night. The sitcoms are doing only so-so, but has always worked on the night is dramas. Next season is no exception.
