I'm already sold on Glee, so new ads and promotional videos are not going to make me any more anxious for its premiere on Sept. 16. I've reached a saturation point on excitement for this one.

It's one of the odder TV scheduling experiments I can imagine: Tonight, Fox premieres its new musical dramedy, Glee, after the American Idol performance show. And then . .

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 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.

If I was excited for Glee after just a few clips and the first episode, I'd say that excitement has now reached DEFCON 1 after visiting the set. I traveled to LA on Wednesday to hang out with the cast of this upcoming Fox comedy from Nip/Tuck creator Ryan Murphy — and lucky for me it was a performance day.
All the actors playing glee club members were on hand to perform their routine to a Queen song (over and over again — oh, the life of an actor).

It's less than two weeks till Fox's Friday sci-fi lineup kicks off with a double feature of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Joss Whedon's highly anticipated Dollhouse. To mark the occasion, Fox has a new trailer for this weekly double feature, a gritty little video inspired by Grindhouse.
The purposefully grainy promo shows Terminator's Cameron (Summer Glau) and Dollhouse's Echo (Eliza Dushku) — Friday night's "Dames of Deception" — kicking ass, shooting guns, and generally wreaking havoc.

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.

Sounds like a concept we've heard before: Four female friends live, laugh, and love in the big city, navigating the ups and downs of single life and falling back on each other for support when a romance goes stale.
Except this time, in a new pilot from Fox, the women are werewolves.
I am so not kidding.

"We blew up a papaya/just like a girl's brain/and our formula stopped it/from happening again."
That's just one of many hilarious rhymes found in Fox's little holiday gift to us, a "Happy Fringemas" video narrated by Fringe's own Walter Bishop (who, incidentally, is holding his own right now in my Best New TV Character of 2008 poll). The video essentially retells the story of Fringe's first season so far — including some of the gory Pattern cases, so, uh, put that breakfast or lunch down before you watch — in the style of The Night Before Christmas, with plenty of Walter's trademark humor along the way.
