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

SEASON IN REVIEW: 2017-18 Miscellaneous Awards

As usual, I am ending the season with a few miscellaneous awards. The blog will be quiet this summer but I will continue to do the week ahead posts with broadcast TV news as it happens this summer. Then I'll be back for previews, pilot reviews, and more in the fall! BEST RETURNING COMEDY Superstore (NBC) - Superstore was awarded my "Best Returning Comedy" last year, but it only got better in season three. The funniest ensemble on TV took another step forward with some truly hilarious moments (the season premiere, the Golden Globes party, and the Christmas episode to name a few) and some major plot points moving forward. It also has the potential to be surprisingly sentimental at times. I think back to the first year of the show and how I felt like it had so many funny elements but didn't always bring it completely together. Well now it does on a weekly basis and it is one of those shows that just seems to be in the sweet spot of what will hopefully be a long run. ...

EPISODE GUIDES: Happy Days Season Five (Part 1)

On Thursdays, I take a detailed and critical look at a TV show by season. Today I am looking at Season 5 (Part 1) of  Happy Days ! HAPPY DAYS: SEASON FIVE 1977-1978 27 episodes Season Five is the year where Fonzie infamously jumps the shark. It happens at the beginning of the season and while  Happy Days  does eventually decline in quality, it is not this season. In fact, this season graded out slightly higher than the previous season even though it doesn't feel as strong. I think that's because there's not a lot of outright stinkers in this season. It's a very solid season with the show continuing to hum along. There are some signs of the troubles to come but it doesn't happen on a regular basis in the fifth season. Starring Ron Howard as Richie Cunningham  (27 episodes) Henry Winkler as Arthur Fonzarelli  (27 episodes) Tom Bosley as Howard Cunningham  (27 episodes) Marion Ross as Marion Cunningham  (27 episodes) Anson Williams as Potsie Webber  ...

EPISODE GUIDES: That 70s Show Season Seven

On Thursdays, I go through classic series with a critical look at each season. Today I am looking at Season Seven of  That 70s Show ! THAT 70s SHOW: SEASON SEVEN 2004-2005 25 episodes The seventh season of  That 70s Show  is the final season with Topher Grace as a series regular and also the final full season for Ashton Kutcher. Despite still having both of those cast member, the show finds itself flailing especially with Topher Grace's Eric, who is stuck in a terrible arc for most of the season. The show also brings many characters back at one point or another but everything just feels tired. This season actually graded out the worst for me. Even worse than the often maligned final season (more on that next week). Every title this season is named for a Rolling Stones song. Starring Topher Grace as Eric Forman  (25 episodes) Mila Kunis as Jackie Burkhart  (25 episodes) Ashton Kutcher as Michael Kelso  (25 episodes) Danny Masterson as Steven Hyde  (25 e...
