What I Like About You (WB, Friday 8pm. Premieres September 20th)

What It's About: Two sisters move in with each other.

Who's Behind It: The sisters are Jeannie Garth and Amanda Bynes

Unfair Grade Even Before Watching: C

Premiere Prediction: 4.0mil

The Reason: The show doesn't look great on paper, but it could very well work. After all, it seems to fit in with "Sabrina."

Sabrina (WB, Friday 8:30pm. Premieres September 20th)

What's Happening: With the aunties gone, "Sabrina" takes up work in a record store. Reportedly, the producers want to introduce Sabrina to some more serious issues, but the right holders of the name won't allow them.

Where It's Been: Was ABC's TGIF light for four seasons, but when ABC got rid of TGIF, "Sabrina" jumped to the WB where it kept hope alive on the night for the network.

Last Season's High: 4.1mil (November 9, 2001)

Premiere Prediction: 3.9mil

The Reason: If the other two sitcoms click, which one of them should, "Sabrina" will be saying goodbye.

Reba (WB, Friday 9pm. Premieres September 20th)

What's Happening: After a broad first season, producers want to take the divorced "Reba" more into "Roseanne" territory.

Where It's Been: The WB got its firts big sitcom hit when this show entered the Friday fray.

Last Season's High: 5.1mil (October 5, 2001)

Premiere Prediction: 5.5mil

The Reason: The show wasn't great last season, but Reba has an audience that will follow her anywhere. She is the WB's Queen of Sitcoms.

Greetings From Tucson (WB, Friday 9:30pm.Premieres September 20th)

What It's About: In what sounds like one of the more interesting sitcoms of the season, dad's Mexican, mom's Irish, their child David is the centre, sis is trying to deny her Mexican heritage, grandma is trying to escape the nursing home.

Who's Behind It: Small time actors, small time producers.

Unfair Grade Even Before Watching: B+

Premiere Prediction: 4.7mil

The Reason: This show could gel very well with "Reba," and bring the WB more latinos to boot. Besides, this is tv's very first show set in Tucson, right?
