What's Happening: A

Where It's Been:  Was a surprise breakout when it premiered last fall. But ratings weren't as great as Fox wants you to believe. On the season, it didn't break the top 40.

Last Season's High: 12.7mil (November 15, 2001)

Premiere Prediction: 10.4mil

The Reason:  The show is premiering a week early to get the jump on "My Wife & Kids," and that's a very good move. Because once "MWK" premieres, this show doesn't stand a chance. Fox will likely move it somewhere else.

Cedric The Entertainer Presents (Fox, Wednesday 8:30pm. Premieres September 18th)

What It's About:  One of the original Kings of Comedy takes to the air in this variety program.

Who's Behind It:  Cedric The Entertainer hosts and produces, the writers hail from "In Living Colour" and "Martin."

Unfair Grade Even Before Watching: B+

Premiere Prediction:  8.8mil

The Reason: This is a weak slot. Though it may or may not be compatible with "Bernie Mack," viewers not likely to watch "Fast Lane" may tune out early.

Fast Lane (Fox, Wednesday 9pm. Premieres September 18th)

What It's About:  Another cop show set in LA! Right after "Robbery Homicide Division" and "Boomtown," this one is different because it's about two cops who go undercover.

Who's Behind It:  Tiffani Thiessen comes back to Fox Wednesday after two "90210"-less seasons, the director is McG, from "Charlie's Angels."

Unfair Grade Even Before Watching: C-

Premiere Prediction:  6.7mil

The Reason:  Good thing it's getting into it a week ahead of schedule, because it won't last much longer than that once "The Bachelor," "The Amazing Race" and "The West Wing" step up to the plate in the coming weeks.
