Six new shows bow on Wednesday to join one relocation and eight returning favorites. Fox Wednesday is
The X Factor, literally. It wasn't as big of a hit as I predicted last year. I think it's somewhat due to talent show fatigue. CBS returns unchanged with the 3,295th edition of
Survivor, followed by
Criminal Minds and
CSI. ABC adds the alien-sitcom
The Neighbors between the returning
The Middle and funny champion,
Modern Family.
Suburgatory leads into the all-new
Nashville. The CW Wednesday is sci-fi land with the new
Arrow followed by the eighth season of
Supernatural. NBC starts the night in pain with the DOA
Animal Practice followed by the breathing-assisted
Guys with Kids.
Law & Order: SVU hits season 14 and the new
Chicago Fire ends the evening.
Lots of changes and lots of non-changes on Wednesday. With NBC's two new sitcoms, they seem to be the overall loser here. Right now it's a close race between ABC, CBS and Fox. The night's winner could depend on the success or failure of ABC's
Nashville.
