Battle of the Networks

FOX, NBC, ABC, OMG!

Written by: Josh M., Senior Editor – Posted: Mon Jan 15th, 2007

Every January the head-honchos at every major network roll out midseason replacements to make up for shows that failed; to balance their possible losses on midseason replacements they focus on making sure their returning shows are stuffed with zanier plot-lines, bigger cameos, et al. It's a never-ending cycle that will continue for as long as television exists.

We here at Kiwibox HQ have hand-picked the best shows, new and returning, on each of the major networks, from high-octane dramas to witty satires. If we have any advice to follow this TV season, it's to avoid NBC's IQ-flattening Identity at any and all costs. Blech.

worth not woth.
While I do enjoy "Heroes" I think I love the show "Ugly Betty"
even more. It's a primetime Thursday show on ABC at 8/7 Central
that has a wide spectrum of emotion displayed in the show. It's
definitely woth the watch.
Heroes is tha best and you forgot Greys Anatomy...
I loooveee 24. Been a fan since Season 1.
Rob and Big is HILARIOUS. And they didn't show much of ABC because
everyone knows they're the MAIN, important channel. It has
desperate housewives, funniest home videos, grey's anatomy, ugly
betty, etc, etc. Why mention it when it's already the greatest?
scrubs is my favorite show. i can't wait until dancing with the
stars comes back on though!
I watch Heroes and Lost and they're awesome!!!
Grey's Anatomy SHOULD HAVE been on the list. It just started back
up on the new episodes last week, and IT'S AWESOME!! IT'S THE BEST
SHOW IN THE WORLD!! lol
I dont care for any of those. I dont really have a favorite tv
show right now but I like CSI and Hourse quite a bit. I loved
Friends and then the OC but with the OC going off air, I need to
find a new show!
what happened to grey's anotomy? all of the girl on my dorm floor
watch it religiously every thursday night
they cancelled passions!

for a FOURTH HOUR on the today show.

sad.
Amen setchchickensnme PRISON BREAK is the best show ever!!! Only 4
days until it returns!!!!
Anderson Cooper 360*, while I'm aware that it is a "cable"
network, should probably be included in this line-up, if only for
the m*sturbatory fodder it provides me as a pre-teen with
fledgling s*xuality.
2 words: PRISON BREAK

=]
OMG Rob and Big is so hilarious! I mean, I think they are so
adorable!
Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, can compare to 24.

Nothing.
The only show I would/do watch is Heroes. I too would recommend
The 4400. That is also a great show.
I don't see why this person is so against Identity...my friends
and I all love it. Heroes is soooo awesome, my friends and I
always get together to watch it. We love Hiro! Yata!
We have Mediacom, and we haven't had Fox in quite some time.

As far as the shows, I don't care for any of them. Once Project
Runway comes back on, I'm golden.
Hi Everyone,
What's up? We don't get Abc anymore. Don't know if anyone else is
being affected by the Mediacom and Sinclair thing, since I know
alot of places are being affected.

None of them sound particularly interesting to me...but that's
just me :)

I highly recommend checking out a show called "The 4400",
especially if you like Heroes because it's somewhat along the same
line.
:P plus its virtually impossible to not give the tiniest spoilers
at all, or there wouldnt be anything to write about...
Wow! Why are you so angry?

I liked the article a lot...it's just as "technically sound" as
any article in EW, People or something like that. It's
pop-culture, what do you expect?

Yeah there were a few minor spoilers from past seasons but once
again, most magazines do that all the time.

I'm just saying...relax!

-g
first of all, "don't you dare give away any spoilers"

WELL YOU JUST DID. some of us don't have time to watch tv. a
little thing called a job gets in the way. so we rely on the dvd
sets to enjoy television. which, with lost, only goes up to season
two. SOME OF US HAVEN'T SEEN SEASON THREE.

buy me a dvr and i'll stop whining. until then, learn to write.

and on page two, i love the comment "without giving too much
away,..." after you just listed every major plotline

this article makes me really sad for the rotting brains of
america.
the best show on NBC since "forever"? first of all, GREAT
writing.....

second of all, it's MAYBE the best show since AT LEAST Friends,
but no better than that.

bleh.
I'm surprsied I didn't see more new shows- I wish I saw Lost when
it first started because everytime I see a commercial for it I
wanna watch it. Haha, but I don't want to watch it now since I
prob. won't get it.
I LOVE Heros! Im sooo ready for it to come back on next Monday!
woohoo! :D
Heroes is awesome simply for the fact that it has Masi Oka.
I love that show! I can't wait for the new episodes to start
playing!
I LOVE IT SOO SOO MUCH!
I don't really like lost.. =) that's because i never watched it..
