The Fall Season presentations for all the networks new shows take place this week and already many of the plans have leaked online. With the help of The Futon Critic, here's a full breakdown of which concepts have made the final list over on the alphabet which will launch eight new series up front, at least three later on (Roman mini-series "Empire" isn't scheduled as yet), with shifts across pretty much every day of the schedule:

ABC

New Dramas (first three debut this Fall, the other three in January):

"Fleet Street: The Practice" (10pm/9pm (c), Sundays)
From Executive Producer/Writer David E. Kelley comes this new series utilising members of the cast of the reinvigorated last season of "The Practice" which bounced back into a big hit for the network thanks primarily to James Spader's dynamic Alan Shore lead character. In 'Fleet', Alan Shore and Denny Crane lead the brigade of high-priced civil litigators in an upscale Boston law firm in a series focusing on the professional and personal lives of brilliant, but often emotionally-challenged, attorneys. Fast-paced, darkly comedic, the series will confront social issues, moral conscience, safe sex, pursuit of happiness and money, with varying degrees of priority. Escape to the law firm on One Fleet Street.—where anything goes… and often will. Stars James Spader, William Shatner, Rhona Mitra, Lake Bell.

"Life As We Know It" (9pm/8pm (c), Thursdays)
Melvin Burgess' breakthrough novel is the basis for this series about three hormone-charged teenage boys who are trying to do something even harder than losing their virginity, and that's to grow up without totally freaking out. There's Dino, the handsome jock with the secret sensitive side; Jonathan, the artist who sees life through a camera lens; and Ben, the straight-A student who still can't make his parents happy. You know them. You grew up with them. Maybe you were them. This coming of age drama in the tradition of "Stand By Me" and "The Outsiders" comes to ABC from the writers of "Freaks & Geeks" and "Just Shoot Me". Stars Sean Faris, Jon Foster, Kelly Osbourne, D.B. Sweeney, Marguerite Moreau, Chris Lowell & Jessica Lucas.

"Lost" (8pm/7pm (c), Wednesdays)
From J.J. Abrams, the creator of "Alias," comes an action-packed adventure that will bring out the very best and the very worst in the people who are lost. Out of the blackness the first thing Jack senses is pain. Then burning sun. A Bamboo forest. Smoke. Screams. With a rush comes the horrible awareness that the plane he was on tore apart in mid-air and crashed on a Pacific island. From there it's a blur, as his doctor's instinct kicks in: people need his help. Stripped of everything, the 48 survivors scavenge what they can from the plane for their survival. Some panic. Some pin their hopes on rescue. A few find inner strength they never knew they had--like Kate who, with no medical training, suddenly finds herself suturing the doctor's wounds. The band of friends, family, enemies and strangers must work together against the cruel weather and harsh terrain. But the intense howls of the mysterious creatures stalking the jungle fill them all with fear. Fortunately, thanks to the calm leadership of quick-thinking Jack and level-headed Kate, they have hope. But even heroes have secrets, as the survivors will come to learn. Stars Ian Somerhalder, Dominic Monaghan, Matthew Fox, Terry O'Quinn, Harold Perrineau, Daniel Dae Kim, Malcolm David Kelley, Evangeline Lilly, Jorge Garcia

"Blind Justice" (10pm/9pm (c), Tuesdays - Starts January)
A heist gone wrong. A gunman with an AK-47. Three officers trapped without ammo. His partner frozen in fear, Detective Jim Dunbar - without hesitation—took action of intense bravery that killed the gunman, saved the officers and made him a hero. He also took a bullet that blinded him forever. Most officers injured in the line of duty opt for desk jobs or early retirement. Not Dunbar. He's rehabilitated both body and attitude and fought his way back to active duty. His fresh start at a new precinct is threatened by the simple truth that no one really wants him to work there. His new partner, Karen Bettencourt, sure as hell doesn't trust him to cover her back. They're all in for the shock of their lives, because being blind makes Dunbar a better cop than he ever has been. Steven Bochco's new drama stars "ER's" Ron Eldard as Dunbar, and tackles the issue of handicapped employees head-on. Unique visual effects give us a window on what Dunbar "sees" with his remaining senses, as he learns to be a better cop and a better man. He has a long way to go to conquer his demons, but at least he's back on the streets. Also stars Marisol Nichols, Rena Sofer, Reno Wilson, Frank Grillo & Michael Gaston.

"Eyes" (Starts January)
When you're in trouble or faced with an insurmountable problem... When you can't risk adverse publicity or turning to the cops... When you've got everything to lose, but can still afford their fees... You turn to Judd Risk Management, a 21st century P.I. firm whose job is to make their clients' problems go away, quickly and quietly. With each case able to destroy a company, topple a personal fortune or change the face of governments, this isn't just a business; it's a deadly game with real victims. Founder Harlan Judd has recruited a team whose personal dramas are as colorful as some of their targets. But he is an honest man in a world that demands unorthodox methods and a willingness to bend the law. From the producer of "Fastlane" comes a drama full of bluffs, blackmails and intrigue. Stars Tim Daly, Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon, Reg Rogers, Natalie Zea

"Grey's Anatomy" (10pm/9pm (c), Mondays - Starts January)
Welcome to Grace Hospital. The toughest surgical residency program west of Harvard. It's a brutal training ground for the newest medical recruits. Meet Meredith, Izzie and Christina. Yesterday they were students. Today they're doctors. And if they can make it through seven years of the finest hell Grace has to offer, they'll be surgeons. But the rest of life doesn't stop just because their residency is tough, so this trio will also have to deal with jealous boyfriends and sick parents, one night stands and housing crises, with only each other to rely on. From Shonda Rhimes, the writer of "Introducing Dorothy Dandridge," comes a series about young women who are doctors; and doctors who are still young women. Stars Ellen Pompeo, Patrick Dempsey, Katherine Heigl, Isaiah Washington, Chandra Wilson, Sandra Oh & T.R. Knight


New Sitcoms/Reality:

"Desperate Housewives" (9pm/8pm (c), Sundays)
Looking down on her friends and family isn't a way of life for Mary Alice Scott. It's a way of death. One day, in her perfect house, in the loveliest of suburbs, Mary Alice ended it all. Now she's taking us into the lives of her family, friends and neighbors, commenting from her elevated POV. Her husband's acting suspicious, the neighbors are talking, and her girlfriends are wondering why one of their own would do something so rash... and so messy. From her unique vantage point, Mary Alice sees more now than she ever did alive, and she's planning to share all the delicious secrets that hide behind every neighbor's closed door in this seemingly perfect American suburb. The writer of "Melrose Place" and "General Hospital" (executive producer Charles Pratt Jr.) has helped create a primetime soap with a truly contemporary take on happily ever after. Stars Sheryl Lee, Teri Hatcher, Marcia Cross, Andrea Bowen, Mark Moses, Felicity Huffman.

"Rodney" (9:30pm/8:30pm (c), Tuesdays)
Stand-up comedian Rodney Carrington would like to take you to the middle of real, everyday America. In the tradition of "Home Improvement" and "Roseanne" comes a down-to-earth guy's guy who, with his own heartland intelligence, speaks the truth. Rodney is quitting or getting fired from jobs he hates while doing stand-up in dive bars at night. He may not have much money, but he still finds excitement. He's not afraid to walk into a department store naked on a dare. Not afraid to take credit for flowers someone else sent his wife. Not afraid to get between his fighting boys. Not afraid to tell his wife he wants to make stand-up his career. He's going to figure out how to find happiness while being the best damn husband, dad and son he knows how to be. Stars Rodney Carrington, Jennifer Aspen, Amy Pietz, Nick Searcy, Oliver Davis

"Savages" (8:30pm/7:30pm (c), Fridays)
Meet the Savage brothers. They smell. They're slobs. And they love it that way. Executive producer Mel Gibson's real life experiences of raising a brood of boys provide the basis for a take-no-prisoners comedy. Raised by their single dad, the Savage boys have had a succession of housekeepers - over 20 at last count - to pick up after them. Well, today that comes to an end. Dad Nick wants his boys to learn the skills women don't seem to take so much joy in anymore - you know, cooking, cleaning, laundry. Somehow this dad is going to turn his loutish boys into independent men, the kind any girl could take home to her mother. This is going to be some battle because Nick, just like his sons, is still a boy at heart. Stars Keith Carradine, Andrew Eiden, Shaun Sipos, Erik von Detten.

"The Benefactor" (8pm/7pm (c), Mondays)
What would you do for a million dollars? Billionaire businessman and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is about to find out because he is "The Benefactor," and he's set to give away a million bucks to a complete stranger. Why has he agreed to give away such a large sum of money? Because he can't wait to figure out how America's applicants will prove to him that they deserve it! Sixteen contestants will vie for the money in a competition full of emotional, dramatic challenges - tests of character, intelligence, heart and maybe a little bit of luck

"Wife Swap" (10pm/9pm (c), Wednesdays)
Already a smash hit in the UK and most recently awarded a BAFTA, the UK's most prestigious television award, "Wife Swap" gives two families the rare opportunity to witness what it's like to live someone else's life and experiences. Two matriarchs from two households trade places for 10 days. For the first five days of the challenge, they must obey the rules of the new family's lifestyle and adopt their daily routine - parenting, shopping, housework, creating budgets and social life. For the remaining five days, these women get to run the new house their own way - a radical shock to both families. This intense new series taps into America's voyeuristic tendencies and desires to judge how others run their households, raise their children and treat their spouses. Never before has a reality series taken such an honest inside look at the American family.


Older Shows:

On the existing show front, the big news is "Alias" is being pushed back to a mid-season start in order to give newcomer "Desperate Housewives" a higher profile launch on Sunday nights. Don't fret though, "Alias" will return in January '05 for an uninterrupted full 22-episode fourth season run.

In a similar style deal, next season of "NYPD Blue" will run uninterrupted starting in Fall through til January when "Blind Justice" will takeover its slot. Four of the networks eight comedies "Eight Simple Rules...", "My Wife & Kids", "Less than Perfect" and "George Lopez Show" have all been moved to new timeslots - along with their "Extreme Makeover" show. "Hope & Faith", "According to Jim" and "The Bachelor" are all returning.

Cancelled:
"10-8", "The Big House", "Celebrity Mole", "The D.A.", "I'm With Her", "It's All Relative", "Karen Sisco", "Kingdo Hospital", "L.A. Dragnet", "Life With Bonne", "Line of Fire", "Married to the Kellys", "The Practice", "Threat Matrix"

Personal Pick(s): Without question "Fleet Street" with its Alan Shore character who singlehandedly revived the dry dull "The Practice" into a must watch last season is the most guaranteed show of the bunch and airs in the old "Practice" timeslot too for convenience. Also "Lost" looks like a hell of a lot of fun with its premise and ultra-good looking cast gleaned mostly from movies and cult hits like HBO's "Oz" but it's a show which sounds hard to execute storywise beyond one season. Of the sitcoms "Desperate Housewives" could have a lot of potential and with "Alias" returning into that position it makes Sunday night compulsory viewing on this network.
