________________________________________

ABC is really giving CBS a run for its money this season, thanks to the double dose of Dancing With the Stars and Grey’s Anatomy/Desperate Housewives tandem. CBS’s Monday comedies continue to underwhelm, and they also dropped the ax on the awesomely bad Viva Laughlin. Wasn’t Hugh Jackman supposed to be in that? Now that the World Series is over, expect FOX to settle back into that #3 slot until the New Year. NBC still has a lot of good shows and little to show for it. And CW shouldn’t even be included in this discussion…
