Check Out the New Fox Shows!
With Fox's Fall schedule announcement this morning, the craziness of network Upfront week is officially under way. In just a second, I'll share videos and photos of the six new Fox shows, but quickly, a few thoughts on the schedule:
- Fringe on Thursdays? Seems risky to me — even if, as Fox's entertainment guru Kevin Reilly pointed out this morning, both Grey's Anatomy and CSI are down this season.
Fox's Fall Schedule: More Dance, More Dollhouse
Fox kicked off network Upfront week in New York this morning by announcing its Fall schedule, and here's a headline right off the bat: So You Think You Can Dance, Fox's summertime dance competition show, is getting a Fall edition as well.
The show will air in an American Idol-like fashion, with a two-hour performance show on Tuesdays and a one-hour results show on Wednesdays. That Wednesday show will lead into Glee, the musical dramedy that has its sneak peek after Idol this week.
Fox Tries to Rebuild Comedy Lineup With Four New Pilots
One of the major issues facing Fox's entertainment president, Kevin Reilly, at TCA last week was the sorry state of Fox's comedy development. Reilly himself noted that Fox had made a lot of year-end lists — er, those would be the worst lists — with Do Not Disturb, one of the first Fall shows to get axed, and the network has no live-action comedy on its schedule to start '09.
So it's interesting that today, Fox has given the green light to four new comedy pilots (among seven total), including one produced by Ben Stiller.
TNT Lines Up Mark-Paul Gosselaar for Legal Drama
With The Closer and Saving Grace, TNT already has two cop dramas in its stable of series. Now, it's adding some lawyers.
The network has picked up Steven Bochco's Raising the Bar, the newest drama from the producer of NYPD Blue, LA Law, and numerous other legal series.
TV Tonight: Breaking Bad and Mad Men
Forget your image of AMC as the stodgy channel of old black-and-white movies. Now, the cable network is bad and mad.
I'm talking, of course, about Breaking Bad and Mad Men, which take over the channel's Sunday night lineup starting tonight.
