I don't know that the OC will affect either show, necessarily.
When their season started, we didn't see a huge dint in the ratings.
OC fans may just go to The Office or My Name is Earl or Scrubs.
But it will probably have an affect on at least one show in the timeslot - it was a damn crammed hour.
However, the 2 or 3 million, if given to CSI or Grey's could push either show firmly into the top spot. So while not a huge chunk, it could be influential.
