Wipeout on ABC which is a reality competition show is on during NCIS on CBS is an action/drama show. Both of these shows are programmed from 8 to 9 and are different types of shows to attract different audiences. Also, Big Brother a reality competition show is programmed during House M.D., which is a medical/drama. Both these shows are programmed from 9 to 10, and CBS and FOX are trying to attract a different audience with each show.

3.
One similarity between these programs besides genres is that the programs appeal more to an audience that wants a good laugh. Either it be from Wipeout, I Survived a Japanese Game Show, or America's Got Talent these are all humorous shows. Also, one similarity between each network is that they all have some sort of reality show, whether it be a reality competition or a love reality, each offers a great reality show.
ABC and NBC brands itself with reality shows, which have been gaining more of an audience. Also, FOX has more of a drama identity whether it be with a reality or sitcom.

2007-2008 End of Season:
#8 House(FOX) and #14 NCIS(CBS) - Both are dramas yet these two shows are not competing with each other because they are on at different times and different networks.
Weekly TV Ratings:
#2 Wipeout(ABC), #1 America's Got Talent(NBC), #6 NCIS(CBS), and #10 House M.D.(FOX)
Wipeout and America's Got Talent are not competing with each other either because they are programmed at different times and with different networks.
ABC and NBC are programming 1.5 hour reality shows during a 1 hour of House to appeal to a completely different audience. Also making the reality shows longer so maybe the viewers from House can catch the last 30min. of the reality shows. Also, during NCIS(CBS) every other network are programming a reality show. This is more of a competition between the reality shows if a viewer does not want to watch NCIS.
