...Vegas is one of the fastest-growing cities in America. That may come as a surprise if you watch CSI (CBS, Thursdays, 9 p.m. E.T.), which kills off a few Sin City denizens each week in a fashion bizarre enough to interest America's newest favorite geeks: Gil Grissom (William Petersen), Catherine Willows (Marg Helgenberger) and their fellow crime-scene investigators--forensics wizards who can see a culprit in a speck of blood. Despite having a high-profile godfather in movie blockbuster-maker Jerry Bruckheimer, CSI made its debut in fall 2000 with little notice. In some recent weeks, though...
...Ubiquitous and cheap, the new medium threatened their businesses with extinction or, worse, irrelevance. They did what any responsible business owner would do when faced with such a situation: they attempted, quite successfully, to co-opt the revolution by launching their own Internet news and analysis sites. By 2001, CBS Marketwatch, CNN.com and Dow Jones OpinionJournal.com had proven far more influential and popular than their upstart new economy challengers TheStreet.com, Slate.com and Salon.com.

...field of candidates has emerged. Two new dramas, CBS's First Monday and ABC's The Court, are set at the Supreme Court; Fox's 24, CBS's The Agency and ABC's Alias, in the once maligned CIA. Fox's The American Embassy follows cute young diplomats in London.

In the works for next season: dramas about the Senate and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The possibilities are endless. The Mint! USPS Blue...
...short-story writer (named Andy Richter) churns out technical manuals for a corporate behemoth and vents his creativity by imagining alternative scenarios for his work and love lives. At first blush, it sounds like just one more high-concept gimmick in a TV season full of them (as on CBS's creepy new talking-infant comedy Baby Bob). The TV fantasy sequence has been poured on like red sauce at an Olive Garden in series from Ally McBeal to Six Feet Under. But Universe proves that there is no gimmick so overused that it won't work...
...invited to the tournament - and who they play. It's not an easy job. There are more than 300 schools trying for one of the 65 spots in the tournament, and the stakes are high: Not only do schools take in hundreds of thousands of dollars for participating (courtesy CBS, which will pay $6.5 billion over the next 11 years for broadcast rights), but they also receive invaluable exposure on national television. Gonzaga, a small Jesuit college in Spokane, Wash., saw enrollment soar after its team advanced deep into the tournament in each of the past three years...
