Upfronts Scorecard: The CW

Sniffle. Welcome to the very last day of network upfronts week! It's with a little sadness that that we come to the end of the line as the last of the networks finish making their announcements about their fall schedules today. No fall schedule has been as scrutinized or been the subject of as much guesswork and conjecture as the CW's. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes of the WB and UPN netlets, the CW has emerged as a blend of the two fallen networks and has had the arduous task of combining two very different lineups into one cohesive package while also adding some new programs into the mix. So, have they succeeded? Find out below... The CW's OFFICIAL SCHEDULE FOR FALL 2006-2007 MONDAY 8-9 pm: 7th Heaven 9-10 pm: RUNAWAY TUESDAY 8-9 pm: Gilmore Girls 9-10 pm: Veronica Mars WEDNESDAY 8-9 pm: America's Next Top Model 9-10 pm: One Tree Hill THURSDAY 8-9 pm: Smallville 9-10 pm: Supernatural FRIDAY 8-10 pm: WWE Friday Night Smackdown SUNDAY 7-7:30 pm: Everybody Hates C

While all eyes are on the CW to see what Moonves and Ostroff, the little mad scientists, have cooked up in the their lab for a joint WB-UPN schedule, FOX will also unveil their fall schedule later today... and as usual(at least for recent years) provided two schedules: one for fall, the other for spring. Why, isn't that convenient? FOX's president of entertainment Peter Liguori made the announcement and had the following to day about FOX"s schedule: "This is the broadest, most stable and most vibrant schedule we've ever presented - one that is sure to help us further our lead as the No. 1 network in key demos. Once again, we'll kick off with early premieres to eventize our launches and establish our series before baseball. We'll

Woo hoo, the upfronts are finally here! All these past few weeks of conjecture and rumor will finally be dissipated as the networks officially announce their fall schedules to advertisers in New York. (What will we all talk about now? This summer's reality series Treasure Hunters ? Maybe...) In advance of today's NBC upfronts, below is a sneak peek at the fall schedule that they'll be unveiling. But before we get to that, there was more good news in the form of a series order for the Untitled Tina Fey project, whose studio was obviously able to reach a deal with star Alec Baldwin. The series, which also stars Tina Fey, Rachel Dratch, and Tim Meadows, will now be known by the rather curious moniker of 30 Rock . (Yes, I get that it's the network's NYC address--30 Rockefeller--but still, for the name of a series?) In a release issued by NBC, Kevin Reilly, President of NBC Entertainment, had this to say about the network's new schedule: "The face of NBC is cha
