Wow, quite the difference in both networks. Now, ABC has more to work with on Mondays, and NBC has less to work with.

Yeah, you read my mind. Great minds think alike! Or, we should be working for ABC. :wink: I wonder what will become of Dateline, Law and Order: CI and Crossing Jordan? American Dreams' chances of renewal just got a boatload lower.

This also does a bit of damage for ABC Sundays. All the guys pretending not to like Desperate Housewives (but really do love it) will have to pick between The Housewives and The Football. I'm glad I'm not a sports fan.

Well ABC still has it for this year.

Who has the Superbowl this coming January??
IF it's ABC, could you imagine the ratings Desperate Housewives would get???

If you read the aticle more closely, you would see that this doesn't happens until 2006.

And ABC has the Super Bowl next year. But I somehow doubt they'll put DH after it. Maybe a new, high-profile drama?

Actually, ESPN snagged Monday Night Football.

NBC picked up Sunday Night football from ESPN.

I wonder who will get Madden now? I hope nobody!

Yeah, Madden is great, and I couldn't stand the ESPN Sunday night crew much.

NBC got a great deal in this one, as their Sunday lineup is struggling. ESPN paid a lot more to get Monday Night Football from ABC, but the two are sibling networks anyway.
