Networks follow the script for fall, give Fridays extra attention

The major networks are stocking up on scripted series: 24 of the 26 new series due this fall are sitcoms and dramas and, all told, 68 are scheduled on the five major networks, up from 61 last fall, when NBC tried Jay Leno five nights a week.

The usual assortment of new shows didn't vary much when networks unveiled their lineups to advertisers this week. Only one extra hour of comedy (on Fox), despite a big push to develop more; plenty of cop, spy and lawyer shows, though fewer risky, heavily serialized dramas.

But networks made a big push to shore up the 10 p.m. ET/PT hour, home to nine of the new series. Three will air head-to-head on Wednesdays, including Law & Order: Los Angeles, which has no completed script or cast. (source)
