Alpha Mom - Although the show will be facing more competition then usual, I think the it should premiere well. I predict about 10.1 million viewers and 3.6 in the demo.
Reagan’s Med - The show has a great plot, the cast is perfect, but the timeslot isn't the best. I expect 12.3 million viewers and 4.5 in the demo for it's premiere. I think it'll shed about 1.4 to 1.6 million viewers and six-tenths in the demo when it shifts to it's normal timeslot.
Pushing 40 - The comedy sounds like the kind NBC would premiere in the 90s; a safe show, a cast with good chemistry, a good plot, but not groundbreaking. It does, however, have a very well-known cast. I predict 13.7 million viewers and a 5.6 in the demo.
Singing Superstar - The hit reality competition will remain the powerhouse that it is. I predict 17.7 million viewers and 7.4 in the demo for the premiere. It'll settle somewhere around 15.8 to 16.2 million viewers.

EBN shows: Reagan’s Med - Premiere: 10:00pm on Friday, after "Supreme Courtships". - Normal Timeslot: 8:00pm on Fridays. Reagan’s Med revolves around a young doctor at an upmarket private medical practice in Boston. The practice mainly serves the wealthy who can afford to pay for the high quality doctors, but the show also focuses on the problems with the US medical system as well as provocative new medical procedures used by the doctors. Dr. Reagan McAndrew (Caitlin Fitzgerald) recently finished her residency after graduating John Hopkins Med School, and is shocked when she gets a job working for the prestigious medical practice, which she feels may be too uptight for her. The practice is owned by Dr. Simon Newman (Tim DeKay), a renowned but decidedly strange neurosurgeon who is fascinated by and tracks down bizarre medical cases. Dr. Jennifer Levering (Bridget Moynahan) is a lonely surgeon with a feminist chip on her shoulder who isn’t afraid to take on Dr. Newman. Dr. Rhys Malubay (Daniel Sunjata) is a dashing critical care and infectious disease doctor with a great bed-side manner. Dr. Malubay dated Jennifer for 5 years, while Dr. Malubay has started a secret relationship with Reagan. Dr. Asher Wynn (Ben Lawson), an Australian doctor with a big personality, focuses on internal medicine, while new Dr. Roger Malick (Ryan McPartlin) is a psychologist who works for the practice and has a thing for aggressive single Nurse Lorelei (Jamie Lee Kirchner). Although Reagan finds Lorelei initially off-putting, she shares an apartment with her when she finds most apartments too expensive. Reagan finds that working in private medicine is challenging and takes a personal toll on her as well. Reagan’s Med focuses on the unique friendship between these medical professionals as well as the often morally ambiguous cases they take on while using very modern practices. With a failing medical system, these doctors take on high-paying patients but also focus on bizarre, offbeat patients and cases regular doctors and hospitals couldn’t figure out. Reagan’s Med is a medical drama as well as a personal drama focusing on the vivid often humorous life of Dr. Reagan McAndrew and her coworkers, in a new show that will redefine the traditional medical drama.
Cast: Caitlin Fitzgerald as Dr. Reagan McAndrew Tim DeKay as Dr. Simon Newman Bridget Moynahan as Dr. Jennifer Levering Daniel Sunjata as Dr. Rhys Malubay Ben Lawson as Dr. Asher Wynn Ryan McPartlin as Dr. Roger Malick Jamie Lee Kirchner as Nurse Lorelei

UEN shows: Southern Discomfort - Premiere: 10:00pm after the Superbowl. - Normal Timeslot: 8:30pm on Sundays, after "In The Family". - A hilarious new multi-camera comedy that puts today's generation gap under a microscope. When two grown, liberal kids return home to live with their opinionated, conservative father, the whole family will have to face one heck of a generation gap. A modern day All In The Family, Southern Discomfort invites you to sit back, relax and slip into something a little uncomfortable like someone else's family. Bob Dobson wants to be a supportive dad, but his kids don't make it easy. Bob and his wife Mary Lou were looking forward to their golden retirement years together. They'd already bought Rudy, their trophy dog. First, their son Ty came home to pursue his dream of becoming a writer. And now, their perfect Harvard-educated daughter has decided to turn down her dream job in New York to move back home and be with her high school sweetheart. Bob just doesn't get it. He's given his kids every advantage, so why can't they make something out of their lives? Like becoming the people he always dreamed they would be?? As Bob's wife gently reminds him, part of growing up means allowing kids to make their own decisions. Bob's trying to accept that, but that doesn't mean he has to like it. Sure, Bob is pompous, sexist and narrow-minded, but he also works hard so that his more enlightened children can afford all their high-minded ideals. Since the Dobsons have a little trouble relating to each other, it's up to the family dog, Rudy, to listen to their troubles and help them figure out how to get along.

The CEO of the american branch of the company is Kassidy Robs (Megan Mullally), a alcoholic, insensitive and rich socialite who loves to make fun of people.

Alpha Mom – Premiere: 10 million Regular: 9.25 million Southern Discomfort – Premiere: 33 million Regular: 13 million The IT Crowd – Premiere: 12 million Regular: 11 million Masquerade – Premiere: 12 million Regular: 11 million Paradise - Premiere: 9 million Regular: 7.5 million Reagan’s Med – Premiere: 12 million Regular: 10 million Pushing 40 – Premiere: 15 million Regular: 14 million Singing Superstar – Premiere: 17 Regular: 16 million
Thoughts on shows: Haven't seen much on Alpha Mom, but it should do well in its timeslot.
Southern Discomfort should do great behind the Super Bowl, so I expect a lot of that audience to carry over to its normal timeslot.
The IT Crowd has had some great promotion (I love the ad in your signature, UEN). Hopefully it premieres well, and if it does, I think it'll hold onto its audience.
Masquerade has a great shot at premiering well with Murder Diaries as a lead in.
Paradise will have a modest to average premiere, and will see a normal dropoff.
Reagan's Law will do great for its series premiere, but I can see it dropping a few million when it moves to 8pm.
Pushing 40 should do well, but I think it'll skew a bit older since the cast is a bit older. However, its still a very solid cast.
Singing Superstar will do excellent numbers; as usual.
