CBS has given the nod to five new dramas and two new comedies for its fall 2001 lineup, while Fox was narrowing its picks.

The biggest surprise for CBS, which unveils its schedule to advertisers in New York on Wednesday, was the Lou Diamond Phillips starrer “Wolf Lake,” an “X-Files”-esque drama from CBS Prods. about investigators who probe mysterious activities among wolves in the Pacific Northwest.

Sources said there also was a good chance that the Jerry Bruckheimer-produced reality series “The Amazing Race” would land a slot on the fall schedule rather than airing over the summer as originally planned.
