Here is an update on the new fall TV season. So far, most new programs have stuck, and there are few stories of extreme failure.

And I'm sure there are a few that I missed, namely on the WB and UPN. So far, it's mostly good for the networks. CBS remains the undisputed ratings champion, with ABC in a close second. NBC lags in third, then FOX, then WB, then UPN.
