FOX Line-up NBC Line-up ABC Line-up This week, the American television networks are set to announce their fall '06 schedules after what has been a busy pilot season in LA. ?CBS is the net in the best position, steadily filling the top ten with its shows on a weekly basis. ?ABC and FOX have huge hits (Housewives, Lost, Grey's Anatomy, and American Idol), but huge holes. ?NBC sucks (plain and simple) and the CW (newly formed net, it's UPN and WB combined) is weak but has a few strong shows.

NBC announces its new schedule today (5/15), ABC announces tomorrow (5/16), CBS on Wednesday, the CW on Thursday, and Fox on Friday. ?Read Variety's take on each networks situation.
