What Went Right:Not a whole lot, but "The Bernie Mack Show" is a nice hit for the network. Other than that, the only thing holding up this net's average was a strong World Series in October.

What Went Wrong:The big dip in ratings for dramas, for starters. "The X-Files" is off more than a third, falling to 57th, "Ally McBeal" is down a quarter, and "Dark Angel"s aud has been cut in half (but to be fair, it is on Fridays now)/ New drama "24" never caught on, nor did "Undeclared" (76) or "The Tick" (97), which ranks just a tick above its "Family Guy" (101) lead-in. Oh, and "Pasadena" (109) will go down as one of Fox's lowest rated dramas ever.

Cancellation Is Calling:Undeclared, Temptation Island, The Tick, The Family Guy, The X-Files

Can It Rise Again?Fox always manages some sort of mid-season miracle, and having the Super Bowl will in no doubt help. On the plus side, its got alot of fluid dramas it can move around, and audiences tend to follow it's shows. Another plus- so many of its nights have bottomed out that there's nowhere to go but up.

Spring Predictions: "The X-Files" will be replaced by either "24" or "Dark Angel." Sunday will catch fire after "Malcolm" goes pst-superbowl. "Titus" will get moved back to Tuesdays, Thursdays will revert back to a movie, while Fridays will still be a mess.
