FALL PREVIEW 2011: Saturday

Saturday is a wasteland for the broadcast networks with only three first run shows airing - two being the long running Cops on FOX and 48 Hours Mystery on CBS. The big surprise is putting first run episodes of sitcom Rules of Engagement at 8pm on CBS. Most think this is just for syndication reasons. I think if any of the other shows fail (How to Be a Gentleman), CBS will yank this off Saturdays and put it there. But they're trying. If it were to somehow work, maybe they could rebuild Saturday. But that doesn't seem likely.
