UPFRONTS: FOX 2022-23 Schedule

FOX didn't unveil its fall schedule with everyone else during Upfronts week but they released it now with premiere dates included so here it is!

MONDAYS
8:00 9-1-1 (6th season)
9:00 The Cleaning Lady (2nd season)
9-1-1 remains on Mondays at 8pm and 9-1-1: Lone Star will once again be held for midseason. FOX had a big time flop on Mondays at 9pm this past fall with The Big Leap but they fared a little better in the weekend with The Cleaning Lady so that show will come back in the fall. They probably could have aimed a little higher here but broadcast networks are not in the business of aiming high right now.

TUESDAYS
8:00 The Resident (6th season)
9:00 MONARCH
Tuesday night has the only new show on the FOX fall schedule. The long delayed country music drama Monarch will premiere after the NFL doubleheader on September 11 and then settle in on Tuesdays following The Resident. Monarch was slated to premiere in January and commercials were even on the air before FOX suddenly pulled it while maintaining it was a "high priority." They seem true to their word as it will get a big launch and is the only new show to promote.

WEDNESDAYS
8:00 The Masked Singer (8th edition)
9:00 LEGO Masters (3rd season)
Wednesdays remain unscripted with the eighth edition of the diminishing but still solid The Masked Singer paired with fellow unscripted show LEGO Masters, which was pushed back to fall after a planned summer run.

THURSDAYS
8:00 Hell's Kitchen (21st edition)
9:00 Welcome to Flatch (2nd season)
9:30 Call Me Kat (3rd season)
FOX no longer has football on Thursdays as that package has gone to Amazon. So they will pair the always reliable Hell's Kitchen with their two most recent Thursday comedies. Despite minuscule ratings, Welcome to Flatch was renewed and will get the 9pm slot while Call Me Kat will slide back to 9:30pm for its third season. What does this mean for Mayim Bialik hosting or not hosting Jeopardy?

FRIDAYS
8:00 WWE Smackdown

SATURDAYS
8:00 FOX Sports Saturday

SUNDAYS
7:00 NFL Overrun/The OT/Animated Encores
8:00 The Simpsons (34th season)
8:30 The Great North (3rd season)
9:00 Bob's Burgers (13th season)
9:30 Family Guy (21st season)
As usual, FOX is sticking with animated shows on Sunday with three of them long time staples and The Great North starting to settle into that role as well. There are several other animated shows on the bench so we'll see if this group gets broken up to start up another night of animation.

MIDSEASON: ACCUSED, ALERT, FOOD STARS, GRIMSBURG, KRAPOPOLIS, 9-1-1: Lone Star, Beat Shazam, Crime Scene Kitchen, Don't Forget the Lyrics, Fantasy Island, Housebroken, Masterchef, Next Level Chef
FOX has a lot of shows on the bench for midseason and some of them will probably be for short winter runs or summer runs. The most interesting ones to watch will be new dramas Accused and Alert as well as new animated comedies Grimsburg and Krapopolis. The new season of Next Level Chef will get the post-Super Bowl slot in February.

CANCELLED/ENDED: The Big Leap, Our Kind of People, Pivoting

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...

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...

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...
