Upfront week is over, and ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, and The CW have all announced their schedules for next fall (barring any changes over the summer).  Discounting the barren wasteland that is Saturday, from 8:00-11:00 PM Sunday-Friday, we have:

• 81 shows across the five networks, totalling 87 hours of broadcast television
• 20 comedies, 51 dramas, 16 unscripted hours (reality, sports, news, etc.)
• 26 new series, with 23  total hours of new programming
• 17 timeslot changes
• 12 procedural dramas on CBS

For a more qualitative breakdown of each night of broadcast television --- including the full schedule, what will be successful, and what I'll be watching --- hit the jump.

New shows are bolded with a blue background.  Shows with new timeslots have a yellow background.

SUNDAY

-

You'll notice that the Sunday table is much less colorful than the rest. No new programming, and only CSI: Miami made the move.  Football on NBC and Fox's animated shows will do about what it did last year, while ABC's soaps are likely in store for another season-to-season decline.  Sundays at 10:00 have been a problem area for CBS over the past couple seasons, but CSI: Miami should put an end to that, especially if Undercover Boss remains a strong lead-in.

I'll be watching:

The Simpsons

The Amazing Race

HBO/AMC

MONDAY

-

Told you things got more colorful.  CBS and NBC rival for the splashiest programming of the night (and perhaps the whole week) with Hawaii Five-0 and The Event, respectively. The smart money favors Hawaii Five-0 for success, but there's always that chance that The Event strikes a chord in the viewing public looking for replacements for Lost and 24.  Mike & Molly looks like it will fit in just fine the rest of the CBS comedies, and I'm rooting for Lonestar, so I'm glad to see it get the House lead-in.

I'll be watching:

How I Met Your Mother

Chuck

House

The Event

Lonestar

Mike & Molly

Hawaii Five-0

TUESDAY

-

I think No Ordinary Family has a good shot: with a great hook (a family of superheroes) it should get solid critical notice, and may satisfy a need out there for family-friendly entertainment.  Plus, Michael Chiklis!  As for Detroit 1-8-7, I'm not so sure, though fellow ABC police procedural Castle has grown a respectable audience after Dancing with the Stars on Monday.  Fox's 9:00 comedy block (or "Gerund Night") is promising, particularly in conjunction with Glee.  Still in love with Parenthood; happy it continues to be the recipient of NBC's biggest non-football lead-in.

I'll be watching:

No Ordinary Family

Glee

Raising Hope

Running Wilde

Detroit 1-8-7

Parenthood

WEDNESDAY

-

ABC's 2-hour comedy block makes me happy.  The plan is to check in on The Middle occasionally, give Better Together a long leash on account of my adoration for JoAnna Garcia, and keep Modern Family and Cougar Town the regular rotation.  I think The Whole Truth will be this year's The Good Wife for me: a legal drama I respect and wish all the best, but ultimately won't watch.  That 10:00 hour is a fun faceoff between new legal dramas, though I give The Defenders the best odds of success.  It has the strongest lead-in, and this kind of procedural is a specialty at CBS.

I'm excited for Undercovers due to the J.J. Abrams pedigree and how fun the clips were --- it should be good for #2 in the hour once the CBS moved Survivor there.  Just because it could.

I'll be watching:

The Middle

Better Together

Undercovers

Modern Family

Cougar Town

Hellcats

THURSDAY

-

If it looked like CBS was mocking NBC with its move of Survivor opposite potential savior-of-NBC Undercovers, their Thursday shuffle was downright Machiavellian: The Big Bang Theory will crush Community at 8:00, and things don't look good for 30 Rock with the high-profile S#*! at 8:30.  Things aren't all bad at NBC; Outsourced should do just fine at 9:30, even if it doesn't look that great.  With a complex central concept and a tough time slot, My Generation faces an uphill battle. Nikita should find success on the heels of the The CW's top-rated The Vampire Diaries, if the fun of the preview clip is any indication.

I'll be watching:

My Generation

The Big Bang Theory

Community

30 Rock

Grey's Anatomy

The Office

Nikita

FRIDAY

-

Only three hours remain unchanged from this season --- the most new programming/new timeslots of the week.  CBS won virtually every Friday night this season, but should increase on the night based on the strength of new Friday show CSI: NY and Tom Selleck's mustache Blue Bloods.  Fans may bemoan Supernatural's move to Friday, but reuniting it with former Thursday companion Smallville puts The CW in a good position on the night.  Human Target and The Good Guys are very compatible --- doesn't mean they won't flounder, but it makes for a fun pairing.

I'll be watching:

The Good Guys

Supernatural (assuming I can catch up this summer)
