The 2005 Fall TV Lineup: I Predict Who Wins

Sundays: CBS, ABC, and FOX will do fine with their lineups. FOX will get the younger demo while ABC shall contintue to do will with AFV, EM: Home Edition, Desperate Housewives, and Gray's Anatomy. NBC will do well with L&O: CI, and Crossing Jordan. Toss up for The West Wing however.

Mondays: CBS will continue to win this night hands down. Two and a Half Men has proven to be a winner and should hold the entire lineup including Crime Drama CSI: Miami. King of Queens will get a rating spike and "How I met Your Mother" shall be a hit and live beyond its Freshman season. FOX will have a hit with Prison Break and should return next year. NBC will bomb with "Surface" but should still get the numbers with "Las Vegas" and "Medium."

Tuesdays: CBS should still do well with NCIS, and Amazing Race. Close to Home will be a hit, and will make former soap star Jennifer Finnigan into a Prime Time star. FOX will get the younger demos with Bones and House. ABC might get a nod with "Commander in Chief" and the audience that is into the The West Wing. It should live beyond its Freshman year. If not maybe that would be the best. "My Name is Earl" and Americanized "The Office" on NBC will fade away. L&O: SVU will still be watched.

Wednesdays: CBS will win the first hour with the King of Queens clone (with Children) "Still Standing" and "Yes Dear." Martha Stewart will get the numbers at first by may lose them later on. Freddie Prinze Jr's sitcom will fail but George Lopez will hang though.. ABC will win with Lost and Invasion may hold a second place for the network. Meanwhile it will be a toss up between CBS and NBC during the second hour (Criminal Minds and E-Ring respectfuly), but L&O will still win for the Peacock. FOX will get its demo in the first hour with 70's Show and Stacked. This season will be make or break with CSI: NY

Thursdays: CBS wins hands down with its powerhouse lineup of Survivor, CSI, and Without a Trace. However the eyes will be on ABC and NBC regarding who can do better. Can Alias beat Joey and the final season of Will & Grace, and can the remake of the Night Stalker give Donald Trump the shaft and into the street with a taxi cab waiting for him? I say Kolchak gets the dreaded words "Your Fired," based on what I have heard regarding the remake. FOX will grow with The OC and Reunion. NBC's ER will pull the numbers.

Fridays: it will be a hard night, but with Supernanny leading off ABC's lineup it should do better than its previous shows did. CBS will do better with Threshold and Numb3rs.

UPN: Everybody Hates Chris will be a hit for UPN and it will be a keeper.

The WB: Veteran shows such as 7th Heaven, One Tree Hill, Smallville will do fine. All the new shows have got their work cut out for them.
