The major broadcast networks have announced their new fall schedules. This week I begin my annual look at each network and what they will offer next fall. As always, I will continue to offer you up-to-date information and program reviews as they become available. First up, the new shows for ABC and CBS. Next week we look at FOX and NBC. The week after that, we look at UPN and The WB. Enjoy.
