...Internet, the challenge faced by NBC and Zucker is their most serious in at least a decade. Not only has the once geriatric CBS raced to the top of the network pack with its powerful CSI franchise, but perennial also-ran ABC has the season's sole breakout hits, Lost and Desperate Housewives, a steamy evening soap that Zucker passed on.
