Fox is coming off a pretty good season overall with House and American Idol dominating. Oddly the show is not spending much on new programming, announcing 6 new programs.
Cancellations
"Back to You (found it's legs but too late to help)," "Canterbury's Law," "K-Ville," "Nashville," "New Amsterdam (damn, lots of potential in this one)," "The Next Great American Band," "The Return of Jezebel James," "Unhitched."
Renewals
"24," "American Dad," "American Idol," "America's Most Wanted," "America Fights Back," "Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?," "Bones," "Cops," "Don't Forget the Lyrics," "Family Guy," "Hell's Kitchen," "House," "King of the Hill," "Kitchen Nightmares," "MADtv," "The Moment of Truth," "Prison Break," "The Simpsons," "So You Think You Can Dance," "Talk Show with Spike Feresten," "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles," "'Til Death."
New Shows
The Cleveland Show - Animated spin-off of Family Guy that moves Cleveland and son to Stoolbend, VA with family additions. Hilarity ensues. It’s from Family Guy so I will watch.
Dollhouse - Re-teams Buffy creator Joss Whedon with Eliza Dushku, who plays Echo. Echo is a member of a unit that allows their personalities to be wiped and replaced as needed to carry out missions. The wipes, however, do not seem as complete as people thought. The cast includes Olivia Williams who I have a slight crush on so will probably check out the show.
Do Not Disturb - Comedy set in a Hotel. Stars Jerry O'Connell and Robert Wagner who help maintain the high level of standards for the place. Basically a workplace comedy. Probably pass.
Fringe - A crazy doctor and his FBI partner investigate weird happenings. Sounds like X-Files where Fox Mulder is actually crazy. It’s from JJ Abrams (Lost, Alias) and Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman (Transformers) but they will be turning over the showrunning reigns to another. They just worked on the pilot.
Sit Down, Shut Up - Animated comedy that explores the lives of eight staff members at a high school in a small northeastern town. Its on Sunday's after the Simpsons so will probably watch it.
