Fall 2007 - Fox

When push came to shove, Fox chose to play it safe. Earlier this week, Fox had been considering a major shakeup of its primetime lineup... the kind of shakeup filled with high risk. Such a gamble would have brought lots of attention to Fox, and if the gamble had worked, the rewards would have been high. Among the changes envisioned by Fox in this gamble would have had the Sunday animation block shifting to Wednesdays, and House moving to the Sunday anchor slot.


But in the end, Fox chose the safe path. Sunday animation? Still on Sundays. House? Still practicing on Tuesdays. Oh, well -- we can always dream of what might have been.


Here's a look at Fox's Fall primetime lineup:


MONDAY

8:00 Prison Break
9:00 K-Ville


TUESDAY

8:00 New Amsterdam
9:00 House


WEDNESDAY

8:00 Back to You
8:30 Til Death
10:00 Bones


THURSDAY

8:00 Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader?
9:00 Kitchen Nightmares


FRIDAY

8:00 The Search for the Next Great American Band
9:00 Nashville


SATURDAY

8:00 Cops
8:30 Cops
9:00 America's Most Wanted


SUNDAY

7:00 The OT (football overrun/post-game)
8:00 The Simpsons
8:30 King of the Hill
9:00 Family Guy
9:30 American Dad


As usual with Fox, January will bring some changes... including the return on 24 to Monday nights, and the return of American Idol to Tuesdays and Wednesdays. New midseason entries include The Sarah Connor Chronicles (series version of The Terminator movies) and Canterbury's Law (legal drama set in Rhode Island!).

Here's a quick look at Fox's new Fall shows:


K-Ville

Police drama set in post-Katrina New Orleans.


New Amsterdam

The story of a New York City homicide detective... who happens to be immortal.


Back to You

Kelsey Grammar and Patricia Heaton return to series television in this new comedy about a pair of news anchors.


Kitchen Nightmares

Gordan Ramsey, the chef from Fox's summer series Hell's Kitchen, spins into this new reality series in which Chef Ramsey lends aid to restaurants in crisis. Sounds fascinating, doesn't it? No? I didn't think so, either.


The Search for the Greatest American Band

Think American Idol for bands instead of solo singers. 'Nuff said.


Nashville

A "docu-soap" about aspiring country singers in Nashville. Can't wait. Okay - maybe I can wait.


Say goodbye to The War at Home and The O.C.
