Fall 2002 Programming Snapshot:
What to Expect at CBS
With one month left before the networks announce their fall 2002
primetime
line-ups, what follows is an updated look by network of what to
potentially expect. First up: CBS.
-Already Renewed:
King of Queens, Yes, Dear, Everybody Loves Raymond, Becker, JAG, The
Guardian, Judging Amy, Survivor, CSI, The District, 60 Minutes, 60
Minutes II
-Could Be a Keeper from Midseason:
Baby Bob
-Expected Back:
The Sunday Movie, 48 Hours, The Amazing Race
-On the Fence:
The Agency, The Education of Max Bickford, Touched by an Angel
-Canceled or Ready to Face the Axe:
Family Law, The Ellen Show, Danny, That’s Life, First Monday, Citizen
Baines
-Total Number of Hours in Need of Fixing:
7 to 8
-Time Periods in Need of Potential Repair:
Monday: 10-11 p.m.
Wednesday: 9-11 p.m. or 10-11 p.m.
Thursday: 10-11 p.m.
Friday: a total revamping is possible
Saturday: 8-10 p.m. or 9-10 p.m.
Sunday: 8-9 p.m.
-What to Expect:
With five comedies now vying for four Monday half-hours (Baby Bob
certainly hasn’t disappointed), the Monday trouble spot remains Family
Law
at 10 p.m., which has as much of a chance coming back as Becker does
successfully standing on its own. On that note, don’t be too
surprised to
see Becker anchoring an hour outside of Monday (and with no Raymond
lead-in) next season. As much as CBS has found sitcom success on
Monday
the problem remains finding chuckles (and ratings) on other nights.
With Tuesday a success, the network is more than likely to focus on
its
troublesome Wednesday and Friday line-ups, with each night in need of
repair. While Survivor and CSI have brought CBS back to life on
Thursday,
The Agency has squandered the 10 p.m. CSI lead-out opportunity. Minus
Anthony Edwards on NBC next season CBS has a real opportunity here.
Although you have to admire the Eye folks for being the only network
to
offer scripted programming on Saturday, Touched by An Angel is tired,
9
p.m. is open and The District is losing steam at 10 p.m. Chances are
we’ll see at least one new hour on the night. And while the 60
Minutes
clock will continue to open Sunday, a “C” grade for The Education of
Max
Bickford in both quality and ratings in year one may not be worthy of
a
second season. With so many other time period problems to consider,
there
is every reason to believe the perennial Sunday Movie will remain
intact.
