With such titles as  "Vanished" and "Kidnapped," no wonder new hit shows have gone  missing so far this season, particularly at Fox.

Can they really call it an awards show if most of the winners don't turn up?

I have no idea what television shows are on what night anymore. I have a vague idea that CSI is on Thursday, but that's a stretch. My world is a TiVo world, and I suspect it's going to get that way for everyone.

Although no instant hits emerged, television networks were encouraged by the willingness of viewers to at least sample some new shows during the eagerly-awaited fall premiere week.

By Rick Bird  There is an ugly duckling story, a new top-five network battle, a pompous new attorney and the suffering six. Those are some of the storylines to play out Thursdays on the tube this fall.  This week The Post is handicapping each night of the new TV season.

I stopped watching TV in the late 90s. Unlike most things in my life I didn't do it (just) to advertise my excellence or to distance myself from the plebes. The driving reason was that my access to TV at the time was extremely limited. But I also felt that TV writing wasn't up to par with my intellectual pursuits. I only got back to watching TV two or so years ago. And I was flabbergasted - yes, flabbergasted - at the apparent increased quality of TV writing. The main reason for this is the rise of the TV serial.

This is really just another show about a seventh grader trying to fit in. Itâs also a show with a sly sense of humor when itâs not being self-consciously frenetic.

By Frazier Moore< Associated Press  NEW YORK - The fall TV season is about to begin. The push is on from the broadcast networks to tempt you into watching what they spent the past year pounding into shape.

For many of the broadcast networks' new fall shows, interested fans don't have to wait until they actually appear on television. How old-fashioned.

Here's something Ray Liotta and Virginia Madsen won't be putting on their resumes: stars of the first new TV show to bite the dust this fall. "Smith," the Tuesday night CBS drama with Liotta leading a band of high-stakes thieves, is off the schedule, the network said Friday. It will be replaced temporarily by reruns of "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" and "Criminal Minds."

TV is in a tailspin. One by one, news shows are stepping off a cliff into oblivion. If there is one sure thing in this season of uncertainty it is tonight&#39;s debut of CSI: NY (9 pm, CTV and CBS).

No more writers on picket lines. No more network TV bosses scrambling for replacement shows. But enough about them. What about us? Two simple questions prey on every viewer's mind: When will my favorite scripted programs be back with new episodes? And, WILL my favorite shows be back?

Prime-time TV seems more and more like a carnival. It's not so much a schedule of shows as, well, a sideshow hawking reality fare.

LOS ANGELES  - Dramas with single male leads are as popular as ever, but none of the leads went to a black actor this pilot season.
