Fall TV Preview
Fall 2011 TV schedule, night by night
Now that all five networks have officially locked their new and returning series into the appropriate timeslots, as little as four months remain for you to plot out your TV-watching week. At the moment, there don't seem to be as many conflicts as you might predict -- though two of the new season's biggest stars, Zooey Deschanel and Sarah Michelle Gellar, will be going head-to-head on Tuesdays with FOX's "New Girl" and the CW's "Ringer."
CBS may be getting the most playful with returning shows, moving around many favorites. Transferring "The Good Wife" to Sundays will likely throw a wrench in many fans end-of-weekend plans.
There's also a lot of reality on the plate this fall, with a two-hour Monday night "Sing-off" on NBC's Monday, going up against ABC's "Dancing With the Stars," and FOX making home for the stateside "X Factor" on Wednesdays and Thursdays in the current spots for "American Idol."
Here's the full broadcast prime-time schedule for fall. Mouse over each day to see the grid.

So glad for DVR's
when will Reality shows stop
so over singing shows -
So No Sing-off
no X-factor
No AI
Glad for Abc on Sunday Night scripted shows 8-11
And fridays are pretty free now w/o smallville:(
And if NFL does on strike , and Games start on a later date or even satrt , look for a major drop on veiwers - remember the last time and the writers strike
i guess we will see
good move on ABC airing Pan AM at 10 , as Mad men wont be back till early next year so they might get some veiwers missing the 60's
"Nikita" moved to Fridays? Are they trying to kill the show? That concerns me...
WOW! Without Chicago Code, Human Target and Lie To Me, I can actually sleep or go out instead of staying home or DVRing my programs each night. However, Person of Interest on Thursday looks pretty awesome though.
