ABC and Fox ran neck-and-neck during the first two hours of primetime Monday night, with ABC scoring slightly higher in the overall ratings and Fox slightly higher in total viewers. ABC's strength came from the summer reality series The Bachelorette, while Fox relied on repeats of its regular season hits, Bones and House. CBS took over the lead at 10:00 p.m. with a rerun of CSI: Miami.

Emmy's winners for acting are chosen in a three-tier system by actors who belong to the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. During the first two weeks of June, they participate in a popular vote that determines a Top 10 runoff in each race. Finalists submit a sample episode of their best work to judges, whose scores are combined by accountants in a 50-50 mix with results of the original popular vote.

Fox plans to kick off its fall season on September 1 with a series of nightly two-hour season premieres.

The aftermath of the writers' strike has seen a striking downturn in the number of scripted television shows and pilots ordered by the television networks, affecting not only the number of jobs for writers but also the number for actors and crew members who would ordinarily have appeared on them, Daily Variety reported today. In its lead story, headlined "Anger Management," the trade paper commented, "The wave of euphoria that swept over Hollywood following the end of the WGA strike has been replaced by a whole new set of emotions: anxiety, depression, fear, nervousness -- and anger." It quoted Basil Iwanyk of the production company Thunder Road as calling the television business "a complete catastrophe" for TV workers since the strike. Variety also noted that blame-calling has heightened. One unnamed agent was quoted as saying, "The studios are punishing writers for going out. ... They want to take their pound of flesh." But Hart Hanson, creator of Fox's Bones, commented, "I don't get the sense of the companies 'taking revenge.' The strike hurt their bottom line, and they are trying, as corporations, to mitigate the financial hit they endured."

In April, dozens of scripted shows will return to the broadcast networks. Thank goodness! Though I've already posted details on the returns of "The Office" (here and here) "30 Rock," "Ugly Betty" and "House," I thought I'd collect all the information I have in one place.

First, here's a chronological list of return dates (to see the return dates sorted by network, go here).

Second, for those who want more than just return dates, I've got details on what will happen on many shows, in addition to the ones mentioned above, on the second half of this item.

If you don’t spot a favorite show on either list, by the way, be aware that some programs aren’t returning until fall, and the fate of several others has not been officially announced yet. There's more info on what's returning in the fall here.

Here are the return dates of scripted
