Dinotopia
(ABC,
Thursday 8pm. Premieres October 10th)
What It's About: A lost continent somewhere, somehow, where dinosaurs and humans live together in perfect harmony. Until the tyrranosaurus starts eating the kids.... Anyways, a wealthy American "accidently" stumbles upon the continent, bringing its survival into question. And after that story arc is over in 3 episodes, what then? Who's Behind It: The books were written by James Gurney, the actors are virtual unknowns. Unfair Grace Even Before Watching: B+ (hey the movie looked good) Premiere Prediction: 11.5mil The Reason: The movie drew 17.0mil, 13.5mil and 13.2mil, respectively, over three nights. If ABC can get the word out that "Dinotopia" is coming again, this show will have a chance.

Unfair Grade Even Before Watching: C- Premiere Prediction: 9.8mil (on Tuesday) 7.6mil (on Thursday) The Reason: In
this killer slot- "CSI," "Will & Grace," "Push" is going to be the
first pushed- to the curb.
