Awareness Peaks for New Fall Shows

20 August 2002 | From Studio Briefing | See recent Studio Briefing news

NBC and Fox are getting a lot of promotional value out of their blurbs for fall shows being featured during original programming this summer, according to a survey conducted by Lieberman Research Worldwide and reported in the online version of Electronic Media magazine Monday. According to the trade publication 31 percent of the public is aware of NBC's upcoming sitcom, The In-Laws, while 29 percent is aware of American Dreams and Good Morning Miami. That compares favorably with scores for new shows with built-in brand recognition such as CSI: Miami (46 percent), UPN's The Twilight Zone (37 percent) and ABC's Dinotopia (35 percent).

Goodbye Millionaire, Dharma, Spin City

14 May 2002 | From Studio Briefing | See recent Studio Briefing news

ABC is making wholesale changes in its lineup for next season, dumping such past hits as Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, Dharma & Greg and Spin City, while, at the same time, adding such shows as The Bachelor (which just debuted -- successfully -- for a short run), Dinotopia, previewing this week as a miniseries (see below), Eight Simple Rules, starring John Ritter; "Life with Bonnie," starring Bonnie Hunt portraying a talk-show host, and "Less Than Perfect," described as a kind of Bridget Jones's Diary. The network is also expected to announce today (Tuesday) that it is scheduling three new dramas: "That Was Then;" Push Nevada; and M.E.D.S. ABC is also expected to confirm today that it plans to launch a new late-night talk show featuring comedian Jimmy Kimmel (Comedy Central's The Man Show) in January, replacing Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher.
