MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL (ABC) VS. TWO AND A HALF MEN/OUT OF PRACTICE (CBS) VS. LAS VEGAS (NBC) VS. PRISON BREAK (FOX) VS. JUST LEGAL (THE WB)
SCOOP Last year's No. 2 comedy should be this year's top dog, making this CBS' slot to lose once MNF wraps for good (next year it moves to ESPN).
VERDICT In the battle of the okay places to visit, but you wouldn't want to live there dramas (Prison and Vegas), the 8 p.m. hour will be key. ''I think Surface will do better as a lead-in for Vegas,'' says a Big Three exec. As for Don Johnson's Just Legal, the nicest thing we can say is that we'd be far more excited for it if this were the 1985 Fall TV Preview.
