As is no surprise, CBS's strongest series is "CSI New York," but the dip that series has seen has to be troubling. As for the rest, "Listen Up" has failed to do anything, "dr vegas" has been cancelled and "Clubhouse" is moving to Saturdays at 8pm. That's the problem with being the top rated network. With of few timeslots to fill with new series, you don't worry about developing good ones, which quickly becomes a problem, just as NBC has discovered over the last several seasons.

CBS's counterpart, the UPN, has been doing okay so far this season, with "Kevin Hill" really sticking out as a big hit, and "Veronica Mars" having cult appeal. "Second Time Around" will likely survive the season. the most promising thing for the network? All of its series are now above their premiere numbers, which is always a good sign.
