I'm encouraged by the time slots -- 8:00 p.m. is the right time slot, and the majority of episodes are on Thursday, which has been CBS' best night (granted, its popular Thursday shows will be gone or in reruns for a couple weeks before Game Show Marathon begins, but still).
Which two episodes get the Wednesday slots will also be interesting.
I know NBC has some new series lined up for the summer and assume that ABC and Fox do, as well -- do we know when those will be airing? Having no other first-run programming to oppose it certainly helped launch Deal or No Deal.

NBC's got "America's Got Talent," with the results show at 8:30 on Thursday, but that phase won't start until after "Marathon"'s over (which Fremantle is happy about, since it's their show too).
Fox is doing "So You Think You Can Dance?" again, but I don't know the exact days (seems to me that it didn't air on Thursday last year). I seem to recall that it is starting the Wednesday after Memorial Day, which is the first night of the "Marathon," but I imagine that "Bones" will rerun at 8.
