My vote goes to ABC for jumping off the reality bandwagon and hitting hard with their new top-rated dramas.
"Lost", "Desperate Housewives" and mid-season bloomer "Grey's Anatomy" are all stellar keepers. "Eyes" has done well to keep ABC on top Wednesday nights, though I can't say its as riveting as the other shows (but both "Eyes" and "Jake in Progress" are fun to watch for the sex appeal though.)
edit: As mentioned in previous post, I'm also keeping my fingers crossed for "The Unit", a new Special Forces drama coming to ABC this fall from the creators of "The Shield".
NBC has been the biggest loser so far--failing to lure audiences post-"Friends", "ER" ending soon, too much reality crap (milking "Apprentice" for all its worth), "Joey" faltering, "Scrubs" getting some suckage scripts, etc. They need a big-time fall lineup with REAL comedies, and hopefully this "Revelations" thing and the return of football will work out for them. Keep milking L&O for all its worth.
CBS--again way too much going on with reality crap. But the multiple "CSI"s seem to be working, along with their return comedies from last year. By far their best new show is "Numb3rs", and its a good fit for Friday nights. I think CSI and L&O, combined with syndication, amount to about 20 hours per week of TV!!!
FOX--hurray for bringing back "Family Guy"! edit: Forgot to mention "24" has been solid, and I'm still watching "The O.C." but it has really gotten suck (whole on/off Summer/Seth is annoying now.) Watched one episode of "House", hated it.
UPN--???
WB--Good for "Smallville" if nothing else?
