AS WE WERE SAYING BEFORE OUR SITE'S HOST SO RUDELY INTERRUPTED US...
NBC, FOX, ABC, CBS and The CW will present their new shows next Monday-Thursday at star-studded events in New York, but there’s no reason you should have to wait that long to find out what you’ll be watching a few months down the road. We’ve put together an advance look at the schedules for all the networks, complete with their Fall 2011 ratings, and we'll be posting it here over the course of the next day.
How can we do that, you ask? Have we created a time machine, traveled to next fall, and journeyed back with our hard-won knowledge (pausing along the way to fight off the dinosaurs from FOX's TERRA NOVA)? Well, no. In fact, a disclaimer: we may not be 100% right. For one thing, we haven’t yet seen the actual pilots, the quality of which will go some way (although maybe not as far as you’d think) into the decisions they make. But we’ve been part of this process for a long time, and even if we don’t know exactly what the networks will do—trust us, you wouldn’t believe the reasons for some of their decisions—we have a good idea of what they’re likely to do, and even more important—what they SHOULD do. We won’t just tell you what changes we see coming in the new schedule, we’ll tell you why they make sense. Then next week, we’ll cover all the real schedules as they’re announced, and we’ll tell you how they screwed up—excuse us, how they diverged from our predictions and why.
We want to gratefully acknowledge the contribution to these schedules of Ted Frank, without whose expertise they would not have been possible. So read on, and please let us know what you think…
