-------------------------------------------------

Despite its yo/yo season, a 2.8 demo for a FOX 30 minute sitcom is good buisness and I can see why FOX believes Raising Hope has future potential. Next season though I expect to see it partner out of X Factor & Idol and personally I would move Glee to 9pm allowing House to become the lead out so the Bones & Spinoff can air on Monday nights.

With CBS in repeats allowing for a stronger Biggest Loser as lead in, I must question the choice of NBC not to air an original Parenthood episode, which is on the bubble for next season.

ABC will clear the house next season and plan to start early with Body of Proof replacing Detroit 1-8-7 in a few weeks but its VERY HARD to launch a new show in the spring especially one in the 18-49 limited 10pm slot...I expect it to flop like Detroit.

I think ABC is in pretty sad shape, They are like NBC, their older dramas are slowly dying and they haven't had any luck finding replacements. I expect two nights of comedies on both networks (two hours each night) and a drama following both that will fail.

I doubt ABC will end up low as NBC but its in trouble no doubt. IMO next fall is looking a little like this at the moment...

Dancing With The Stars - Castle

N/A - N/A - N/A

The Middle - Mr.Sunshine - Modern Family - Coguar Town - N/A

N/A - Greys Anatomy - Private Practice

N/A - Primetime: What Would You Do? - 20/20

Funniest Home Videos - Extreme Makeover: Home Edition - Desperate Housewives - N/A

N/A = New show...am not up-to date on their pilots but theres plenty of room for new shows. I could see ABC having 8-9 Tuesday for sitcoms...

I feel NBC should do the same as well to avoid X Factor/Idol assuming they stay wednesday & thursday plus NCIS skew old so there are 18-49 viewers out there to grab.
