...more hours than Fox airs in prime time all week, and 6 1/2 more than last fall. This beefed-up squad will include a lot of cops you haven't seen before--except that, really, you have. CBS is spinning off CSI: Miami; ABC has a remake of Dragnet from producer Dick Wolf, who has essentially been remaking Dragnet for 12 years on Law & Order, itself the parent to two spin-offs and a reality court series debuting later this month.

The worldwide dragnet has snared 600 alleged al-Qaeda operatives. And yet the bottom line is sobering: after six months of gumshoe work by just about every law-enforcement official in the U.S., the number of al-Qaeda sleeper cells that have been busted inside the country is precisely zero.
