ABC will add only one new scripted series in the fall, plus a new game show, in a schedule that network executives admit was severely affected by the 100-day writers strike that concluded in February.

The new David E. Kelley-produced drama, "Life on Mars," is about a police detective transported back to 1973. ABC gave it a plum Thursday time slot following "Grey's Anatomy."

The second new series, "Opportunity Knocks," is a game where producers show up at a home with a truckload of prizes and quiz family members on what they know about each other.

ABC is also picking up the NBC comedy "Scrubs" for midseason. ABC Entertainment President Stephen McPherson, who has feuded with his NBC counterpart Ben Silverman, noted Tuesday that the comedy had 17 different time slots at NBC and received little promotion.

Like its rivals, ABC has suffered a decline in ratings this season. Its executives were encouraged, however, that ABC won among the coveted 18-to-49-year-old demographic for seven of 10 weeks last fall before the strike and Fox's "American Idol" buried it.

All of the major broadcast networks are presenting their schedules to advertisers this week except for NBC, which announced its plans last month.

McPherson has been bold in the past in bringing forward new shows: ABC had eight last fall. But the strike impaired development. ABC has 17 series in development for midseason or beyond, but McPherson said he wasn't comfortable committing to new series unless pilots had been filmed.

"If you needed a ton of development for the fall schedule, the strike would have been a really bad bet," he said. "You'd have to rush it or put stuff on before you knew what it was."

CW HOW THE OTHER HALF LIVESThe tiny CW network, trying not to get lost in a crowded media world, is banking on television viewers' interest in even more spoiled, wealthy kids.

CW is launching a successor to "Beverly Hills 90210" in the fall, featuring two high schoolers from Kansas who move to California and enroll in West Beverly Hills High School. Original show cast member Jennie Garth, who resurfaced late last year as a "Dancing With the Stars" favorite, will appear occasionally as a guidance counselor.

Another new series, "Surviving the Filthy Rich," is about a 23-year-old woman hired to tutor twin rich kids from Palm Springs. The two new series will both air Tuesday nights and are reminiscent of the network's most buzzed-about show, "Gossip Girl," about privileged Manhattan prep schoolers.

Except for "Gossip Girl," the CW has had trouble building new hits, and its prime-time average of 2.6 million viewers is 19 percent down from last year, according to Nielsen Media Research.

CBS PICKING UP 4 DRAMAS, 2 COMEDIES

Exceptional smarts or psychic abilities help set the stage for three of the new dramas CBS plans to air next season.

The network is picking up four new dramas and two comedies for next TV season, which will be announced as part of its schedule presentation to advertisers on Wednesday, according to a Hollywood executive who is familiar with CBS' planning and spoke on condition of anonymity to avoid pre-empting the announcement.

Half of the series are based on ideas that have been successful overseas.

ONLY 2 NEW SHOWS ON FOX

Fox will bring only two new series on the air in the fall, traditionally its slow season, but plans flashy two-hour season premieres of four programs during the same August week as the Democratic National Convention.

"Lost" producer J.J. Abrams is behind the new science fiction drama, "Fringe," about an airplane flight whose passengers meet untimely ends. "Fringe" will be paired on the schedule with "House" on Tuesdays in the fall and "American Idol" in the spring.

A new comedy, "Do Not Disturb," is set in one of Manhattan's trendiest hotels. It replaces the canceled "Back to You" (the wife of disappointed star Kelsey Grammer is encouraging an Internet petition to get it back).

Fox will finish the season as the nation's most popular network among all viewers, instead of just young viewers, taking a title owned by CBS for the past five years.

"Fringe," "Bones," "Prison Break" and "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader" will open the fall season the week of Aug. 25.
