What's Happening:  No changes in sight. Don't mess with success.

Where It's Been: A consistantly solid piece of the Monday night line-up, it lead off the night with good numbers. It did, however, take a slight hit when "Fear Factor" took up residence on Monday nights on NBC last spring.

Last Season's High: 16.5mil (December 17, 2001)

Premiere Prediction: 16.8mil

The Reason: CBS's Monday night line-up will become the site of massive sampling during season premiere week. For the reason why, see 10pm. If "CSI Miami" is the monster hit most expect it to be, Queens could break the top 15 this season.

Yes, Dear (CBS, Monday 8:30pm. Premieres September 23rd)

What's Happening:  Kim and Greg have another baby. Who are these people?

Where It's Been: Taking a critical wailing throughout its entire run, this show is a hit nonetheless. Last fall it consistantly won its slot in the important demos, frequently outdrawing "Queens." But again, there was a hit taken by "Fear Factor"

Last Season's High: 17.3mil (December 17, 2001)

Premiere Prediction: 17.6mil

The Reason: Again, see the "King of Queens" reasoning. Whatever critics say about this, it could make the top 10 more than a few times this season. And if it does, it could be moved off of Mondays all together.

What's Happening: AThe same old stuff, which in "Raymond"s case, is new, fresh and funny stuff.

Where It's Been: Everybody knows this story by now- nearly died in its Friday slot in its first season, shined in a Monday night try out. Moved to 8:30 Mondays the next season, was the highest draw of the night by far. So it got moved to 9pm. It singlehandedly rebuilt CBS's Monday night line-up, has not decreased in viewers yet in its six seasons, and is now consistantly in the top 5, depending on if "Friends" and "ER" are in repeats. Even when they're not, it's pretty damn close.

Last Season's High: 24.3mil (November 26. 2001)

Premiere Prediction: 26.2mil

The Reason: Last year, this show won two emmys, one for Patricia Heaton and another for Doris
Roberts. Most shows would see viewership zoom because of that. But because the emmys were held so late, "ELR" did not get the chance. If there are wins, and I believe there will be, this will be "Raymond"s year to really breakout. Oh, "CSI Miami" at 10pm doesn't hurt, either.

Still Standing (CBS, Monday 9:30pm. Premieres September 30th)

What It's About: A Chicago family tries to juggle the responsibilites of parenting and being cool, trying to just control their children. The premise of this is the simplest sounding of all the new fall series, and, to be honest, it's refreshing.

Who's Behind It: Diane Burroughs is an exec producers, she's owned CBS Monday over the years with shows from "Murphy Brown" to "Love & War." Star Jamie Gertz was an occasional on "ER" for quite a while.

Unfair Grade Even Before Watching: B+

Premiere Prediction: 23.5mil

The Reason: This will be the single best slot on tv. After "Raymond" and before "Miami." How could this show lose? And plus, this show's premise sounds extremely compatible with "Everybody Loves Raymond." 

CSI Miami (CBS, Monday 10pm. Premieres September 23rd)

What It's About:  CSI, only in Miami

Who's Behind It:  Jerry Bruckheimer (CSI); David Caruso (NYPD Blue); Dana Delaney (NYPD Blue, Philly); Emily Procter (The West Wing); Khandi Alexander (NewsRadio, The Corner, ER)... does it get any better than this?

Unfair Grade Even Before Watching: A-

Premiere Prediction: 28.0mil

The Reason:  As even Dick Wolf admitted, "CSI" is a brand now. And with the Thursday edition just getting bigger and bigger, this one is gonna be big too. But there could be a wrench thrown in. "Law & Order: SVU" struggled in the ratings for its first season before becoming a top 15 show last year. "CI" had an okay first season, but nothing to crow about. Could "Miami" fall into the same trap? If it does, all bets are off.
