Nets Vie With 26 New Shows This Fall

The major broadcast networks -- ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox and CW -- will be debuting 26 new programs this fall: 17 dramas, seven comedies and two "alternative" shows. Sixteen more shows are in the works for planned summer or midseason premieres or use as replacements. NBC will have the most new entries this fall, not surprising considering it has to fill the 10 o'clock hour previously occupied by Jay Leno experiment.
