ABC and CBS return their entire skeds unchanged. Fox adds a regularly scheduled animation encore to the start of the night and a drops live-action sitcom in the middle of it. NBC elects to bring "The West Wing" to Sunday to help the night and the show. "Blue Collar TV" (a great alternative to anything) moves here and expands to an hour for the WB.

ABC takes the night, CBS a probable second, depending on the movie. 7pm goes to "60 Minutes," just because. I think the 8pm hour is going to be split between ABC, CBS and NBC. "DH" grabs 9pm and "Grey's Anatomy" easily takes 10pm.

(Far too easy) winning pick for the night: "Desperate Housewives."
