Fox Unveils Fall Schedule

[silverscreenselect]

Monday (all times Eastern)

8:00 Gotham
9:00 Lucifer

Tuesday

8:00 Brooklyn 99
8:30 New Girl
9:00 Scream Queens (originally this was supposed to be an anthology, but instead it's returning as a follow-up to the original show with most of the surviving cast returning (admittedly, that does narrow it down a lot), including Jamie Lee Curtis)

Wednesday

8:00 Lethal Weapon (previewed in one of my earlier posts)
9:00 Empire

Thursday

8:00 Rosewood
9:00 Bones

Friday

8:00 Hell's Kitchen
9:00 The Exorcist (previewed in one of my earlier posts)

Sunday

7:00 Football related
7:30 Football or Bob's Burgers
8:00 The SImpsons
8:30 Son of Zorn (a mix of live action and animation; Zorn a Conan the Barbarian-type animated action hero voiced by Jason Sudeikis has the usual domestic sitcom problems with ex-wife Cheryl Hines, his teenage son, and his job as a salesman)
9:00 Family Guy
9:30 Last Man on Earth

As with NBC, Fox is saving most of its new shows for debuts after the first of the year, including previously announced 24: Legacy, APB, Kicking and Screaming (a version of The Amazing Race that's more like a backwoods survival show), The Pitch, Shots Fired (a limited series like American Crime, focusing on possibly racially motivated shootings in a small Tennessee town, with Richard Dreyfuss and Helen Hunt), Star, the new Prison Break, and Making History. Almost the entire lineup changes at the start of 2017, although some series like Empire and Gotham will return in the spring to wrap up their seasons. Sleepy Hollow will also return in mid-season. Houdini and Doyle has been cancelled. No word yet whether the X Files will be back.

It's very similar in some ways to NBC's lineup, with very few new shows in the fall and a lot in the winter. That gives most of the new series time to develop and film episodes and presumably won't stick the network with as many duds as last year's Minority Report.

I hope they get new writers for "The Last Man on Earth". It's getting boring. That's the ONLY sitcom I watch.

At least Terry Crews still has Brooklyn Nine-Nine

Sunday's "Football Related" is likely still "The OT" or any game in the late 4th quarter.
