  • will
    Sept 27 Is going to be a great night for me, I love all of those shows!
  • Oh dear God. Three Seth MacFarlane cartoons back to back.
  • bomberman
    :( /agree
  • Hassleberry
    They should let him get one show right before giving him two more, sometimes I wonder, Futurama got cancelled, when this crap is on? (Can't wait for new Futurama season!)
  • B33
    It's a sad day for American television...
  • snarksmarm
    ... /TV?
  • hilarious
    hahaha i actually scrolled up when i saw this and laughed
  • keicharones
    Fringe! J.J.Abrams <3
  • :D
  • That show was one of the few good shows on TV last season...
  • jason B
    yes, it was great. we're left with more reality crap, another batch of 'new simpsons', and god knows what else is in the pipe. when TSCC ended, it was at its absolute finest.
  • Agreed it was a great finale, was wanting to see more.
  • Why did Fringe get moved to Thursday? Anyone know? Also, I was really hoping Dollhouse would be moved out of its Friday night deathslot. Guess not.
  • Andrew
    Completely agree about Dollhouse.

    They've put two comedies before it which doesn't pull any kind of audience for the show. I've got as feeling Joss and FOX may have another unfavorable parting coming. I hope not, but I'm afraid so.
  • House... One of the most brilliant shows on TV!
  • jason B
    yeah, house is really remarkable all around; writing, acting, subplots etc...
  • Palmer
    I don't know why they renewed 'Til Death, it's not even a funny show. And I don't think I would be able to take an hour and a half of Seth MacFarlane's brand of "humor."
  • Looking forward to Glee. Something to look forward to on Wednesdays.
  • Sorry but you sound a little Lost when it comes to Wednesday night television viewing.
  • jason B
    nice! im a lost-o-phile as well.
  • Can't wait for Fringe. The Cleveland Show on the other hand looks painfully unfunny from the clips I've seen.
  • jason B
    yeah - there's a reason why the simpsons never did spioffs, and you'd think seth would take note considering he already has taken so many...
  • Nice to see a new Fox show on Friday :/
  • RedLeader43
    Awesome! More reasons not to watch Fox! lol.
  • The Cleveland Show. Might I ask, why? It's like Family Guy, only without all those characters you actually enjoy watching!
  • AdventCiervo
    wow lot of american dad haters on here. I actually enjoy that show a lot more than family guy because the early writers of Family Guy left and started American Dad. From what I understand the only involvement Seth MacFarlane has with it are the voices he does. If the Cleveland Show is gonna be another Family Guy, I doubt it will be for me.
  • Rena
    American Dad is waaaaaay better
  • Zach
    When does 24 start? I can't wait to see Katee Sackhoff on there. Jack Bauer + Starbuck = Fucking awesome.
  • Check that crap out ... ehehe ... all I'm waiting for is Bones. Only show that Fox has that is actually enjoyable.
  • .....What? Michael Strahan got a show?! ....ga..huh.bu...what?
  • dagreenman18
    And this line up does nothing for me. Although Glee might surprise me. Either way wake me up when 24 is back.
  • I mourn the loss of my Terminator. The version this year that I enjoyed more than marginally.

    Yay for more Glee, Lie to Me, and Dollhouse. I haven't watched this much FOX TV since... well, it's been a while. :/
  • Jarrod
    i miss King of the Hill already...
  • House, Family Guy and Simpsons cest fantastique.
  • I think you should swap the image you use for this post... that image is 20th Century Fox, not Fox the broadcast channels. Some shows on Fox are not distributed/produced by 20th Century Fox (i.e. Fringe which is a WB and Bad Robot production) .
  • LuMendz
    I was very surprised by how good Glee was! I mean, I'm not really fond of musicals but I enjoyed that Pilot so much. Probably the only show I'm anticipating from FOX besides Fringe Season 2.
  • Josh
    Fox chooses Brothers and Til Death over TSCC. Enough said. This is why we all laugh at you FOX!
  • Justin
    I'm still upset that they canned The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

    Dollhouse seems to be on death row given its time slot, which is fine by me since I never liked the show.

    At least Lie to Me is staying on board.
  • Chip
    I noticed the glaring absence of the Sarah Conner Chronicles. This was one of the very best Sci Fi series in a very long time, Considering the box office success of the recent Terminator movie was the dropping of this series a smart business move? I think not!!!! Chip DuRant
  • rainBird
    What? Where's "Mental?"
  • rainBird
    Oh... whew... I found it... here: http://www.fox.com/programming/

    (No day or time, but it IS listed in FOX's "New Series" section.)
