Fox is using Sunday's Emmy awards to dive headfirst into the Fall TV season. Technically, I suppose things kicked off with Friday's premiere of "Nashville," but tonight the heat is really on with the start of the season's first new scripted drama and the return of a fan favorite. "Prison Break" kicks things off at 8 p.m., and I know a lot of Buzz readers are ready for it. I always thought of Read more

I'm very curious about the new Fox show "K-Ville," which focuses on police officers in post-Katrina New Orleans. I didn't completely adore the pilot, but there was enough good about it — especially lead actor Anthony Anderson — that I'm eager to check out other episodes once the show premieres next month. The first episode will air Sept. 17, but thanks to a cool promotion, you can watch it Read more

Now that I've had a while to think through the new Fox fall schedule, I have some thoughts on which news is good, which is bad and which is still a little baffling. Take a spin through my list, then let me know what you think. (Don't forget to look at my thoughts on the ABC, NBC and CBS schedules, too!) "The Rules for Starting Over," starring Rashida Jones, got picked up for midseason — so do Read more

Fox closed out Upfronts today by announcing 10 new shows, including the New Orleans cop tale "K-Ville" (pictured above), the band-focused "American Idol" spinoff, and the immortal detective story "New Amsterdam." Six of the new series will premiere in the fall, before the network shuffles its schedule in the spring to make room for four more new shows plus "American Idol" and "24." Among Read more

It's TV pilot season, when hopeful writers, directors, and actors give the networks glimpses of what could be their next big hits. Few pilots will ever make it to air, and the odds might be especially long over on ABC, which has already renewed many of its current shows. Over the past few weeks, I've been looking at the pilots and trying to spot the trends that could be coming soon to a TV near Read more
