The network's new season will begin this fall, but its HD lineup will be complete when Friday Night Smackdown, the wrestling program, goes high-def in January.
The 2007-2008 lineup will include the return of Everybody Hates Chris from comedian Chris Rock who will appear in front of the camera for the first time this season as a school counselor. The comedy is broadcast in HD.
The new high-def shows include Gossip Girl, which focuses on an anonymous blogger, and Aliens in America. a comedy about a Wisconsin family who takes in a 16-year-old Muslim in an exchange program.
