Que nos depara la Tele, Fall 2006 (O lo que si se puede contar)

ABC | 05.16 2 P.M.
'Grey's' Day
BC's "Grey's Anatomy" on Th-thursdays?! That's right. A television show that used to be one on night is going to be on a different night. Take a deep, cleansing breath. The upfronts can be upsetting, startling, emotional.

A call-in press conference this morning confirmed that ABC — the boom-bust, "Lost"/"Invasion" network — is moving its girl doctor soap front and center, which is to say to Thursdays at 9, which is where, according to legend, the big people compete. In that timeslot are big goons: the revered classic "CSI" on CBS and the hypeforce-9 "Studio 60 on Sunset Strip" on NBC. SO WHO WILL WIN?! Scary scary, but time will tell. Today at 3 ABC begins its jamboree at Lincoln Center. Fifteen new shows, with too many names to remember. The Mick Jagger burglary one, at least, is still untitled. And the Ted Danson therapy one doesn't have a forgettable air title like most sitcoms ("Here We Are," "Being Together," "Fun Family") but a great one: "Help Me Help You." So that's two.

ABC had a ratings surge last year, but all its eggs were in three baskets, "Lost," "Desperate Housewives" and "Grey's Anatomy." What if one of those shows — say, one set in the suburbs — lost its creative moorings and tipped and even wrecked? Then eggs would be in two baskets. So welcome, you 15 new shows. Please be weird or funny or at least have short previews.
