ABC's "Six Degrees" was voted the most anticipated new fall TV show
according to a recent survey on TV.com (www.tv.com), a leading
content and community site for TV fans and a property of CNET
Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq:CNET)(www.cnetnetworks.com). The NYC-based
drama from the producers of "Lost" starring Campbell Scott and Hope
Davis secured more than 36 percent of the 13,000 plus votes,
followed by NBC's comedy "30 Rock" with 17 percent, and ABC's
family drama "Brothers & Sisters" with 14 percent (see below
for a full list of top-ranking premieres). The poll is part of
TV.com's extensive feature on the fall TV season, which includes a
comprehensive program calendar, in-depth show summaries, episode
guides, videos, downloads, news updates, actor bios, and cast
photos, complemented by viewer reviews, forums, and blogs. To view,

we poll TV.com's audience of millions of TV fans, we obtain
interesting insight regarding trends and programming preferences
that may, or may not, be in line with the industry's expectations,"
said Stephanie Quay, site director, TV.com. "Our active community
members base their votes on months of information exchanging and
opinion sharing on TV.com. This online buzz building is an exciting
phenomenon that allows us to monitor trends and forecast hits."
Another TV.com poll regarding what percentage of its audience will
view the fall lineup in real-time versus digital video recordings,
revealed that the majority of respondents -- 60 percent -- plan to
watch at least half of the new and returning fall shows live. "Even
though many of TV.com's users have DVRs, the poll results
demonstrate that their passion and enthusiasm for eagerly
anticipated shows drives them to watch the programs live," said
Quay. "The morning after a show airs, the TV.com message boards are
filled with community comments discussing every aspect of the
program. These lively conversations continue throughout the week as
viewers who watch the show on their own schedule join in,
ultimately creating a perpetual online water cooler for TV fans."
