UPFRONTS 2017: What FOX Will Do

Here is my FOX prediction!

Check out my FOX suggestion

Past FOX predictions: 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011

MONDAYS
8:00 Gotham
9:00 THE RESIDENT
When it comes to predicting FOX, I tend to think they won't be smart about scheduling. So while I think The Resident sounds like a losing show, it seems to me as though they might put it on Monday nights and I have them keeping Gotham here too. I think The X-Files will find its way on this night at some point in the season, but not in the fall.

TUESDAYS
8:00 Lethal Weapon
9:00 ORVILLE
I think FOX is going to let Lethal Weapon fly on its own and away from Empire. My prediction is Tuesdays at 8pm, paired with another light-hearted hour-long show, the Seth MacFarlane straight to series order Orville.

WEDNESDAYS
8:00 UNTITLED MARVEL PROJECT
9:00 Empire
I tend to think FOX is going to leave Empire alone and air the Marvel show as a lead-in. There are no Marvel shows on Wednesdays and the only genre competition is the fading Arrow on the CW. I think they'll bet big on Wednesdays even though Marvel and Empire don't share a ton of the same audience.

THURSDAYS
8:00 Hell's Kitchen
9:00 Lucifer
I wouldn't be shocked to see Gotham and Lucifer stay together though too. But I do think FOX will air Hell's Kitchen on a weeknight and I could see them doing a hell-themed night with Lucifer at 9pm.

FRIDAYS
8:00 New Girl
8:30 Brooklyn Nine-Nine
9:00 Rosewood
I think FOX is going to renew all three of these shows but let them languish on Fridays and be fill-in shows too in case something goes wrong. It sounds like FOX might bring The Exorcist back, but I can't believe that will actually happen.

SATURDAYS
8:00 Sports/Encores

SUNDAYS
7:00 NFL Overrun/The OT
7:30 Bob's Burgers
8:00 The Simpsons
8:30 LA --> VEGAS
9:00 Family Guy
9:30 The Last Man on Earth
I'm completely not confident on the FOX schedule but I do think this is the night that I am most likely to get correct. The only question for me is whether it's LA--> Vegas or Ghosted as the new Sunday night show.

MIDSEASON: GHOSTED, LINDA FROM HR, SHOWTIME AT THE APOLLO, UNTITLED UNIVERSITY DRAMA, 24: Legacy, Masterchef Junior, The Mick, Prison Break, Star, The X-Files

CANCELLED/ENDED: APB, Bones, The Exorcist, Kicking & Screaming, Making History, My Kitchen Rules, Pitch, Scream Queens, Shots Fired, Sleepy Hollow, Son of Zorn, You the Jury

EPISODE GUIDES: Rhoda Season Five

On Thursdays, I go through classic series with a critical look at each season. Today I am looking at Season Five (the final season) of Rhoda ! RHODA: SEASON FIVE 1978 13 episodes Rhoda' s final season was a truncated one as the show was cancelled in December 1978 after only 13 episodes had been produced (and only nine had aired). This feels like a continuation from season four in many ways except with the ill-advised split between Ida and Martin (more on that below). While Rhoda has an occasional good moment and even a couple decent episodes, it is a show that seems so wildly different from season one and not in a good way. Rhoda could never figure out what it fully wanted to be and only made it four and a half seasons as a result. Starring Valerie Harper as Rhoda Morgenstern (13 episodes) Julie Kavner as Brenda Morgenstern (13 episodes) Ray Buktenica as Benny Goodwin (11 episodes) Kenneth McMillan as Jack Doyle (9 episodes) Nancy Wa...

SCHEDULES OF THE PAST: 1995-1996 Thursdays

On Tuesdays, I take a look at schedules from yesteryear. Here's a look at Thursdays in the 1995-96 season! ABC 8:00 8:30 9:00 10:00 Sep Charlie Grace The Monroes Various Programs Oct Murder One Nov Various Programs Dec Various Programs Thursday Night Movie Jan Feb World’s Funniest Videos Before They Were Stars! Mar Apr May NBC was the powerhouse on Thursday nights but ABC still gave it the old college try in the Fall of 1995 with a trio of new dramas that they hoped would help them cut into the Peacock's dominance. Headlining their night was Murder One , a high profile new show from Steven Bochco that received much of the network's attention before the season started. The series focused on one murder case for an entire season, whi...

DECADE IN REVIEW: The Best Comedies of the 2010s

During the month of December, I will be looking back at the decade that was the 2010s on TV. I will be sharing my favorite sitcoms, dramas, the best episodes, the best performances and the worst shows of the decade. To be eligible for this list, a show had to air the majority of its episodes in the 2010s. However, for the rankings and determination, all episodes were taken into account, including ones that may have aired before 2010. I will also preface that there are comedies that have aired this decade that I haven't watched yet so this is the best of what I have watched. To be fair, that preface is more true for dramas. There's not a ton of unwatched comedies sitting in my Netflix or Amazon watchlist. So here are my Top 10 comedies of the 2010s! Close Calls: Master of None (Netflix) - An inconsistent but occasionally fascinating commentary on many life issues done so with innovative storytelling. The Good Place (NBC) - A show that aims high with a fascinating premis...
