TV Junkie: 'American Inventor' Premieres; Cornell on Leno; Artie on Letterman

A Word or 77 (or so):
ABC has a lineup of new episodes and shows tonight - bucking the other networks, with the exception of Fox and the CW, who were always trend-buckers [hey, I said "buckers" ok, you dirty-minded individuals]. You might have also seen on the AP that the kids are trying to keep Jericho on the air - if CBS doesn't want to run it, they should sell it. I always kind of felt that Jericho should be on the CW anyways.

*******UPDATE: CBS REVERSES DECISION TO AXE JERICHO********
