FOX Upfronts: Fall Schedule Revealed - 'Fringe' on Tuesdays

oscardahl · 05-15-2008, 05:30 AM

FOX is the final network to have its upfronts this week. As far as upfront weeks go, it hasn't been the most exciting. In this Internet age we live in, secrets are almost impossible to keep – we all knew which shows were being canceled and which weren't. We knew which new series were going to be picked up. The one thing that networks can keep secret, however, are their final schedules. FOX released two schedules today, one for Fall and one for the Spring. Below, you will find the Fall schedule, followed by a look at the new series and some commentary.

It's kind of weird that they moved House to Mondays after the strike, now plan to move it to Tuesdays again. Maybe they figured it didn't need the post-Idol bump. I'm definitely excited for Fringe, House, and Kitchen Nightmares, but the stuff I'm really excited for isn't coming until midseason.

Monday's are looking good...........and as I'm down on CBS, will be happy to check out Fox's new shows.

God bless FOX for burying its reality crap at the end of the week in two 2-hour chunks. I can't wait for Fringe. But Mondays are officially the hardest night of TV now. At 8pm, there's Chuck, Gossip Girl, Terminator, Big Bang and HIMYM (plus DWTS). How am I supposed to prioritize those?

I'm excited about Fringe - JJ Abrams rocks

not sure if i'm happy with terminator being on at 8. thats still a little to early for me.

Wow...those Mondays are insane now.

I agree so much about the lack of upfront suspense... I remember being in grade 10 and being late going to class on WB upfront day because I was in a computer lab trying to see if there would be a second season of Roswell. Thank God there was. That was a suspenseful day... no surprises this year. Biggest disappointments this year are the cancellations of Jericho and Journeyman, but those were months ago... Fringe should be unique as JJ Abrams has refused to dumb his work down to procedural status... Felicity, Alias and Lost all have running storylines... Hopefully he "seinfelded" the network and just TOLD them its a procedural, but its really a regular awesome JJ serial that we all love. Hopefully Dollhouse is also much more serial then procedural.

i'll prioritize those for ya John: Chuck, HIMYM, Terminator, Gossip Girl, Big Bang and then DWTS. That was easy.

I'm so angry at FOX. Terminator at 8 makes me a very unhappy person. Mondays are already insane - they just got even worse. Now I'm going to have to watch Chuck at 8, Terminator at 9, then go crazy trying to catch up with Kyle XY (when it comes back), Heroes (if I don't just drop it altogether), and DWTS. Oh, and Gossip Girl. I'll get over it eventually, lol.
