With the exception of Hell's Kitchen and So you think you can dance, FOX's summer schedule sucks once again.

Actually, now that I think about it, except for NFL Sundays I hardly watch FOX at all.

What dreck. FOX once proclaimed they wanted three TV seasons of new programming a year. This slate hardly qualifies as a season of new programming. Not that anyone outside of TNT and maybe FX has decent new programming, but FOX would have been better off repeating Prison Break and Terminator so that people could catch up for next season...

FOX during the summer might as well be called "Fox Reality 2".

Not sure why anyone is surprised at the lack of new scripted shows during the summer. Pretty much every new scripted show that the networks have tried to launch during recent summers has failed. And if you see new episodes of an existing show, it generally means that show is D.O.A. and they are burning off the remaining episodes.

True. I'll never forget that craptacular North Shore, starring Brooke Burns.
