[Mr. Television]

It looks like a pretty strong lineup to me. DH vs WAT. That should be good.

[Pavan]

Yeah, it looks good. The new dramas might be a question mark, but I'm sure at least one will work. The only slot I'm worried about is Wednesdays at 8. Without a Trace might take a hit opposite DH and the NFL. I wonder if How I Met Your Mother can actually start a line-up?

I'm surprised they are leaving Race there. I love the show, but the ratings have been bad, and it'll be facing ALL REALITY(except for FOX). DWTS/Biggest Loser/ANTM.

CBS is getting aggressive with Sundays, I think WAT will suffer but it will SERIOUSLY challenge DH. I think it's going to be a real battle there.

HIMYM leading off Mondays? CBS must not have a problem with NBC beating them.

Yea I think Still Standing is gone.

What am I going to do? I love DH and WAT plus I'm an NFL Fanatic.

Well I don't like crime drama, am not big on Football(though I do keep track), and am obsessed with DH, so for me, it's no contest. DH is going to be down anyway, WAT will be down due to not having CSI as a lead-in, but I think it will be a serious challenge. I see DH falling to 17-18 million in the Fall and WAT is gonna be close to that...

Jericho on Tuesday at 10! WOOHOO! Something to watch and not have a conflict(I don't watch BL or SVU). It is my most anticipated CBS pilot(in fact, it's the only new CBS show I have a serious interest in watching).

A small town in Kansas deals with the aftermath of a nuclear disaster. Sounds kinda soapy...

That does sound kind of interesting...

[dawsongirl]

I think Cold Case and Without a Trace will be a good pairing. Though there went Thursday...what is Shark about?
