Nothing, absolutely nothing, seems to be working for the nets in this area this season. Last season saw "My Wife & Kids," "What About Joan?" "The Mole" all do well, but no show seems to have that spark this season. So here's a break down, net by net, or what's working, (and usually) what's not.

ABC:

Series:

The George Lopez Show: To Premiere Wednesday, March 27th
Wednesday 9:30pm, 8:30 central: To Premiere Wednesday, March 27th

The Court: Premiered Tuesday, March 26th.
Record:
 Week 1:  11.4mil

We still don't know if they really love you, Ms. Fields, but the premiere numbers aren't extremely promising.

The Bachelor: Premiered Monday, March 25th
Record: 
 Week 1:  9.8mil

With the kind of trouble ABC is having on Mondays this season (sometimes losing to the WB), this could spell a hit. Look back in week 2.

The Wayne Brady Show: Cancelled
Record:
 Week 1:  7.1mil
 Week 2:  4.6mil

After a brief hit summer run, this show just never got started mid-season.

The Chair: Cancelled
Record:
 Week 1: 12.5mil
 Week 2: 10.0mil
 Week 3: 10.6mil
 Week 4:  9.4mil
 Week 5:  6.2mil
 Week 6:  7.0mil
 Week 7:  4.8mil

Seemed to get off to a strong start, but got cuaght up in the Olympics, and fans fleed when it moved to Mondays.

CBS

Series:

American Fighter Pilots (premieres Friday, March 28th)

The Amazing Race 2: Premiered Monday, March 11th
 Week 1   9.7mil/12.5mil
 Week 2: 13.5mil

Airing right after "Survivor" certainly helps, once "Marquesas" moves back to Thursdays, look for al return to normal, mediocre levels.

Baby Bob (Premiered Monday, March 17th)
 Week 1:  15.6mil
 Week 2:  14.4mil

Not bad at all. A strong premiere, little drop off in its second epiosde, could we have a winner?

Survivor: Marquesas (Premiered Thursday, February 28)
 Week 1:  23.2mil
 Week 2:  23.5mil
 Week 3:  20.5mil (aired on Wednesday)
 Week 4:  22.8mil (aired on Wednesday)

CBS has to be doing cartwheels over this one. While the last two "Survivor"s dropped off substantially after their premieres, this one hasnn't. And ratings are significantly above those of "Africa."

First Monday (Premiered in January)
 Week 1: 14.6mil (aired on Tuesday)
 Week 2: 12.0mil
 Week 3: 10.5mil
 Week 4: 10.2mil
 Week 5:  7.4mil
 Week 6:  8.0mil

A strong debut quickly trailed off. Could it have been the Olympics? All signs point to yes. When is it coming back? This Friday. That will be a big indicator.

NBC

Series:

Watching Ellie: (Premiered Tuesday, February 26th)
 Week 1: 16.7mil
 Week 2: 12.1mil
 Week 3: 11.1mil
 Week 4:  9.5mil
 Week 5:  8.8mil

A very strong debut thanks to a huge promotional push. But ratings have been halved, the show is going on hiatus, and viewers don't really care.

Leap of Faith: (Premiered Thrusday, February 28th)
 Week 1:  20.9mil
 Week 2:  18.7mil
 Week 3:  15.2mil
 Week 4:  15.3mil

Another strong debut, but ratings feel when "Friends" when into repeats. But the ratings haven't fallen that badly. Could NBC have patience with this show.
With "Friends" leaving next season, I'd say yes.

The Colin Quinn Show: (Premiered Monday, March 11th)
 Week 1:  7.3mil
 Week 2:  7.3mil
 Week 3:  6.4mil

Well, at least ratings have been very stable.... despite that fact it lost more than 50% of its lead-in, shows no promised, and most Americans have no idea who "Colin Quinn" is. Good night, there is no pleasant tomorrow.

Imagine That (Cancelled)
 Week 1:  6.8mil
 Week 2:  6.0mil

A disaster to start with, NBC had absolutely no faith in the show. And viewers responded in kind.
 

Tomorrow: A report on the WB, UPN and Fox, who had the biggest mid-season losers.
