Every year, various ad agencies, marketers, and consultants choose which new TV shows they think are going to be winners, and which are going to crash and burn. They're not always accurate, of course, but it's still interesting to see what they pick.

NewsMediaMetrics says that The Jay Leno Show will not only do well, it will be a "powerhouse." They also see NCIS: Los Angeles as being a hit, and good things ahead for Flash Forward, Glee, The Forgotten, Cougar Town, and Eastwick.

Of course, these predictions could be completely off, especially as new episodes of shows are made and networks change their schedules around (though the company has an 85% success rate). Not really sure how they could measure Leno's show accurately, since there isn't any footage of the show yet. I guess they're basing it on Leno's name, his run on The Tonight Show, and the overall need for alternative programming at 10PM. I'm looking forward to Flash Forward, The Middle, V, and Human Target.

I still refuse to believe Cougar Town will be a hit.
