8:00 TO 9:00:

For the first time in years, Friday nights are once again competitive with scripted programming.  In fact, each of the Big Five has at least one hour of scripted programming to share.  During this first hour of the night, NBC relocates LAW & ORDER to the hour, while CW relocates SMALLVILLE.  CBS goes with the solid GHOST WHISPERER again, while FOX offers up newbie comedy BROTHERS with returning (WHY????) 'TIL DEATH.  The only reality in the hour is SUPERNANNY.

FIRST: GHOST WHISPERER (CBS)

SECOND: LAW & ORDER (NBC)

THIRD: SUPERNANNY (ABC)

FOURTH: SMALLVILLE (CW)

FIFTH: BROTHERS/TIL DEATH (FOX)

9:00 TO 10:00:
This hour is even more interesting than the 8 pm hour.  THREE shows are relocated to this time period: ABC's dwindling UGLY BETTY, NBC's dwindling SOUTHLAND, and the NBC to CBS drama MEDIUM. Staying put in the hour is the surprise return of DOLLHOUSE, though with an anemic comedy (TIL DEATH) leading into it, I dont expect the DOLLHOUSE ratings to improve any over this season's.
FIRST: MEDIUM (CBS)
SECOND: SOUTHLAND (NBC)
THIRD: UGLY BETTY (ABC)
FOURTH: DOLLHOUSE (FOX)

10:00 TO 11:00:
Same as last year: 20/20 on ABC and NUMBERS on CBS. The only new threat is JAY LENO, which I think will have some terrific numbers in the hour, despite what critics are saying.
FIRST: NUMBERS (CBS)
SECOND: JAY LENO (NBC)
THIRD: 20/20 (ABC)

TOTAL HOURS I WILL WATCH: TWO (DOLLHOUSE and UGLY BETTY)
