| It's
that time of year again
when network executives
roll out their new fall
schedules. Here's what's
"new" for this
fall: |
| CBS:
The Tiffany web has eight
new entries, all with
"CSI" in the
title. My personal
favorite is "CSI:
Survivor," the first
reality show to kill off
a contestant each week.
If it works, look for a
celebrity version. |
| NBC:
With no hits other than
Donald Trump's "The
Apprentice," the
peacock has ordered ten
new shows from The
Donald, among them,
"Call Me a
Cab," "Pick Up
My Laundry," and
"Scrape The Crap Off
My Shoe." |
| ABC:
Disney's pinning its
hopes on "Extreme
Pillsbury Bake-Off,"
which pits American
housewives against
Japanese sumo wrestlers
in a contest whose rules
were still being worked
out at press time. |
| FOX:
Not content to wait until
fall to cancel its new
shows, Fox will instead
begin canceling them this
summer when they debut
six series one month

embarrassing talentless
people, a proven formula. |
| WB:
The WB hopes it can turn
a profit this year by
cutting costs, so all
seven of its new shows
have the same cast, plot,
and location. They could
have saved more by not
filming the shows in the
first place, but that's
too logical. |
| UPN:
This network went off the
air two years ago, but
nobody noticed. |
