Administrator Toups Posted May 13, 2006 Administrator Share Posted May 13, 2006 Teachers is gone. I hope NBC puts "Studio 60....." on Monday at 10pm or Thursday at 10pm. I cannot wait for this show!! NBC has a lot of good shows (on paper) especially the dramas: "Friday Night Lights," "Heroes," "Studio 60...," "Kidnapped," and "The Black Donnellys." For ABC, I'm looking forward to "Brothers & Sisters," and "Six Degrees." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wendy Posted May 13, 2006 Members Share Posted May 13, 2006 Just a note...and I cannot remember if it was in a Zap2It or TV Guide article when talking about ABC pickups, but buried in the article were some cancellations.

Members KMan101 Posted May 13, 2006 Members Share Posted May 13, 2006 Don't forget Dancing with the Stars 3 is almost a sure bet to be on the ABC fall lineup. Rumor has it that it will air Wednesday's in Lost's time slot until Lost premieres in November, to avoid a huge overload of repeats. Invasion was also officially cancelled (rumor has it that it could go to the CW) and George Lopez and According to Jim were officially renewed. I can't even begin to guess the schedules. And there is a rumored NBC schedule going around that DOESN'T have The Apprentice 6 on it. Fox officially renewed The OC and picked up The Wedding Planner.

Members crc Posted May 13, 2006 Members Share Posted May 13, 2006 Here's my guess for CBS: Monday 8:00 How I Met Your Mother 8:30 New Adventures Old Christine 9:00 Two and a Half Men 9:30 New sitcom (The Class?) 10:00 CSI: Miami Tuesday 8:00 NCIS 9:00 The Unit 10:00 Criminal Minds Wednesday 8:00 The Amazing Race 9:00 One of the Monday sitcoms (King of Queens---possibly mid-season, Out of Practice?) 9:30 New sitcom (The Big Bang Theory?) 10:00 CSI: NY Thursday 8:00 Survivor 9:00 CSI 10:00 New drama (Capital Law?) Friday 8:00 Ghost Whisperer 9:00 New Drama (Jericho? Shark?) 10:00 Numb3rs Saturday 8:00 Recycled crime shows 10:00 48 Hours Mystery Sunday 7:00 60 Minutes 8:00 Cold Case 9:00 New Drama (3Lbs?) 10:00 Without a Trace CBS has been campaigning stability during the past few upfronts by only picking up about 5 new shows, so I wouldn't be surprised if "Close To Home," although a tad bit older skewing, stays and they push a couple of the drama pilots for mid-season.

Members RogerNewcomb Posted May 13, 2006 Members Share Posted May 13, 2006 I can't believe ABC is canceling invasion and renewing What About Brian. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted May 14, 2006 Members Share Posted May 14, 2006 ^ Ugh, I know. And I'm hearing Reba really is officially cancelled. [!@#$%^&*]! Oh and Fox officially renewed (so I've heard), of all things, The Loop. Ugh. Why do networks insist on being absolute IDIOTS. Edited to Add: Fred Goss reported on his blog that ABC has officially cancelled "Sons and Daughters." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JERSoapsFan Posted May 14, 2006 Members Share Posted May 14, 2006 Oh, don't call them idiots! "Reba" was a dumb decision but you have JUST MADE MY DAY if you say "The Loop" was renewed. I [!@#$%^&*] LOVED that show. I was shocked, stunned and appaled when I learned it WASN't winning over at least 12 million viewers. I was shocked, stunned and appalled to learn it was actually getting lower ratings. That show is fUNNNAAAY!! loves me some loop. Mimi Rogers and her constant gay references are hilarious. The airline owner and his gay son references, hilarious. And of course, how the young airline guy always messes up but, by acccident, scores a coup at the end of every episode is just trendmark!! I love this show~!~!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ridge Posted May 14, 2006 Members Share Posted May 14, 2006 So no more 3 days a week DOND LOL!! These fall schedules are always scary to look at b/c most of the time they are changed by the third week of the season. Also it does suck for Invasion. The show was really good and it always came out as a well planned show with the writers planning the twists. ABC just hoped the show would be a second coming of LOST and it wasn't.

Members KMan101 Posted May 14, 2006 Members Share Posted May 14, 2006 I think DOND will be on three times, or at least two times in the fall on NBC. It's a good anchor for several nights.... Here are my schedule predictions. ABC is a complete and utter mess for me. I have absolutely no idea what they will do, so... LOL. ABC SUNDAYS 7PM America's Funniest Home Videos 8PM Extreme Makeover: Home Edition 9PM Desperate Housewives 10PM Brothers and Sisters MONDAYS 8PM What About Brian? 9PM Grey's Anatomy 10PM Six Degrees TUESDAYS 8PM The Bachelor (???) 9PM Boston Legal 10PM Day Break WEDNESDAYS 8PM Traveler 9PM Dancing with the Stars 3 ( Sept-Nov ) / Lost ( Nov-May ) 10PM The Nine THURSDAYS 8PM Mick Jagger pilot 8:30 Dancing with the Stars 3: Results Show 9PM Help Me, Help You 9:30 In Case of Emergency 10PM Primetime Live FRIDAYS 8PM Supernanny 9PM Wife Swap 10PM 20/20 SATURDAYS 8PM George Lopez 8:30 A Day in the Life ( is this a sitcom? ) 9PM According to Jim 9:30 Notes from the Underbelly 10PM Men in Trees Mid-season: Ugly Betty; Masters of Science Fiction ____________________________________________________ CBS SUNDAYS 7PM 60 Minutes 8PM Cold Case 9PM Capital Law 10PM Without a Trace MONDAYS 8PM How I Met Your Mother 8:30 The Class 9PM Two and a Half Men 9:30 The New Adventures of Old Christine 10PM CSI: Miami TUESDAYS 8PM NCIS 9PM Jericho 10PM The Unit WEDNESDAYS 8PM The Amazing Race 10 9PM Criminal Minds 10PM CSI: New York THURSDAYS 8PM Survivor 13 9PM CSI 10PM Shark FRIDAYS 8PM Ghost Whisperer 9PM Close to Home 10PM Numb3rs SATURDAYS 10PM 48 Hour Mysteries Mid-Season: Creature Comforts; Welcome to the Jungle Gym ____________________________________________________ FOX SUNDAYS 7PM NFL Overrun 7:30 King of the Hill 8PM The Simpsons 8:30 Futurama (???) 9PM Family Guy 9:30 American Dad MONDAYS 8PM Prison Break ( Sept-Dec ) 9PM Vanished ( Sept-Dec ) TUESDAYS 8PM American Crime 9PM House, M.D. WEDNESDAYS 8PM Bones 9PM Primary THURSDAYS 8PM The O.C. 9PM The Wedding Planner FRIDAYS 8PM The Loop 8:30 'Til Death 9PM The War at Home 9:30 Happy Hour SATURDAYS 8PM Cops 8:30 Cops 9PM America's Most Wanted Mid-season: American Idol; 24; On The Lot _____________________________________________________ NBC SUNDAYS 7PM - Football (Fall) / Dateline NBC 8PM - Football (Fall) / Friday Night Lights 9PM - Football (Fall) / Crossing Jordan 10PM - Football / Law & Order: SVU MONDAYS 8PM - Deal or No Deal 9PM - The Apprentice 6 10PM - Medium * Maybe wishful thinking, but it's doing fairly well, so why change it? I could see Raines on this night... TUESDAYS 8PM - The Biggest Loser 9PM - Scrubs 9:30 - The Singles Table 10PM - Law & Order: Criminal Intent * My best guess, lol. I suppose 20 Good Years can go in place of TST... WEDNESDAYS 8PM - Deal or No Deal / or a new drama 9PM - The Black Donnellys 10PM - Law & Order * Probably what will happen THURSDAYS 8PM - My Name is Earl 8:30 - Community Service 9PM - The Office 9:30 - Tina Fey 10PM - Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip * Seems like a logical bet that they'd try this FRIDAYS 8PM - Deal or No Deal 9PM - Las Vegas 10PM - Heroes * Medium could go at 10pm, I suppose... Mid-season: 20 Good Years; ER; Raines; Kidnapped _____________________________________________________ I'm not even going to venture a guess for The CW. But I think we'll see Sunday become a sitcoms night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members KMan101 Posted May 14, 2006 Members Share Posted May 14, 2006 ^ I've always been hearing September. But with all the shows ABC has picked up, I suppose they might of changed their minds and decided to run it in the summer, but the thing I'm hearing is that it's almost a given that Dancing with the Stars 3 will debut this fall in Lost's timeslot and run until November, when Lost premieres its third season.

Members KMan101 Posted May 14, 2006 Members Share Posted May 14, 2006 I think so. Isn't it pulling about the same numbers it got on Monday? I see no reason to risk moving it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
