- How I Met Your Mother--both out of my love for the show and the fact that CBS seems to be selling its Monday comedy block pretty hard this year, particularly new (albeit awful) leadout Big Bang Theory. That, coupled with the summer buzz, might be enough to see a bump.
- Heroes--Sure, it's almost always losing the slot to Two And A Half Men, but the lead cast gets a fair amount of media attention, and US Weekly and People covers are worth points. (I think Hayden Panettiere could be a big scorer there.) I'm open to flipping this if premiere ratings/response aren't as strong as expected/hoped.
- Journeyman--New programs are cheap on TVBigShot, and the pilot apparently tested well. Also, while CSI: Miami dominates that slot, it seems like does so by default and could be taken down by the right program. Risky, but worth taking. If it tanks, will be quickly flipped.
- Gossip Girl--Cheap, and even if it only gets One Tree Hill level ratings (as it did this week), still a 33% profit to be had. Also, a potential US/People goldmine.
- Back To You--Looking like a good buy already, as it won its timeslot this week, and, depending on how Pushing Daisies does, seems likely to continue to do so. And Grammer/Heaton will assuredly make for a TV Guide cover or two, and maybe even Golden Globe points.
- Private Practice--This just seems like straight up arbitrage. Buy it for $53M, with Grey's valued at $144M, and even if the first couple episodes do only half of Grey's ratings, you've got a very nice return. The large and attractive ensemble cast also means you've got the potential for US/People points.
Anyone else playing or have picks?
