Busy Week Ahead For TV


© F. Colin Kingston

This week will be an especially big week for television. The news media will be preoccupied with the scandal engulfing the Clinton administration; the home run derby between Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa comes down to the wire; and several new series and returning shows from last year make their debut.

Viewers can expect lots of preemptions this week. Both ESPN and FOX have promised at times to cut into their programming when McGuire and Sosa come up to bat during their remaining regular season games. Most networks will also cut into their regular programming if anything new develops with the Clinton Scandal.

Pending preemptions, here is a list of the new series making their debut this week.
