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

Despite American Idol being dominate, Breaking Bad falls flat and talk about a sheer waste of the lead in, the show must be horrible. However it remains 50/50 on my list because FOX is desperate to allow their sitcoms to try and find an audience and I think FOX will try the show in a non Idol slot, which will decides its fate.

The Middle is showing spring erosion, not helped by a start/stop run of episodes lately though am sure it will bounce back in the fall. Better With You is DEAD as is Happy Endings...Sitcoms CANNOT survive in the 10pm slot, simple as. Coguar Town should move to 8:30 next season to allow a new show to take advantage of Modern Family's audience.

Expect next season's Next Top Model to be the last.

Better With You has been dead for 6 months now. I enjoy it, but I know it's been a goner. Happy Endings did better than I thought it would at 10 pm.

ABC and NBC need an "Ugly Betty" show to have on at 10pm.

At the start of the season I would of moved Brothers & Sisters to thursday night since a light drama/comedy would suit the 10pm slot on this themed night. A flatout 30 min sitcom simply cannot live though at 10pm or 10:30pm.

ABC pilot show "Once Upon A Time" seems a good candidate for this slot come the fall.
