That's the economics of the television game, however, and with the new year comes the so-called "second season," when the networks try again in the spots that hit the bottom of the Nielsen ratings this fall. CBS, which has gone from No. 1 to No. 3 this season, had a lot of changes to make. The network already has announced the dropping of some shows and now is eliminating "Tony Orlando and Dawn" and "Spencer's Pilots" from the list also.

Added to the CBS schedule in January will be two new hour-long dramas and two new half-hour situation comedies, with seven other shows switching their time slots for a totally new look, but with a lot of the same old faces.
