Fox announced Monday that it will add four new comedies and three dramas to its schedule next season, revamp "American Idol" and give "Glee" the coveted post-Super Bowl slot.
As usual, the No. 1 network leaves some questions lingering in the air. For starters, Simon Cowell must be replaced on "Idol" - so auditions for hopeful and deluded singers won't begin until September. And if the network has anyone in mind to replace Cowell, it's not saying. The Tuesday performance nights of "Idol" will be 90 minutes and the Wednesday results shows will be 30 minutes - of course you'll believe that when you see it - ostensibly because people complained so much about bloated advertising and promotional inserts taking away from the enjoyment of the series and bleeding over into other shows.
Of Fox's dramas, the biggest deal is probably "Terra Nova," a "let's go back in time to the dinosaur age" thriller from Steven Spielberg, which will be heavy on computer-generated graphics and thus has no firm timetable as to when it will appear on the schedule. Those familiar with Fox announcing shows that don't end up making the air might snicker, but if you've got Spielberg attached and the entire support of Fox, odds are that it will makes a splash sometime in 2011.
Because Fox has an early-season commitment to baseball and historically makes its biggest ratings push in January, only four shows are scheduled for fall, including "The Good Guys," a comedy-drama that starts on Wednesday (and thus is not considered a new show for next season).
Since "The Good Guys" is unproven, ratings-wise, and viewers have yet to trust or adjust to summer scheduling, you might want to take a wait-and-see approach to whether that show returns in the fall.To see a world in a grain of sand
