Fox's new schedule. See last sentence. I was hoping for Undeclared.

No Titus, Undeclared, and Andy Richter as a midseason replacement. FOX SUCKS.

I will now be down to Cops, Boston Public and That 70s Show. I am close to bailing on Boston Public though - I have a breaking point with every David E Kelley series.

In something of a surprise, "Firefly," the new sci-fi drama from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" creator Joss Whedon, may get bumped back to midseason. The pilot was reportedly being changed to include more action.
Uh oh ... not another Crusade debacle.

Mondays will have a similar feel, with "Boston Public" staying put at 8 and "Girls Club," David E. Kelley's new show about young female lawyers, replacing his old one, "Ally McBeal," at 9.
Now that sounds like a winner ... oops, it appears I've dripped sarcasm all over my keyboard.

Obviously, the anti-MNF programming. Hmmm, Ally gets cancelled for bad ratings. Fox executive decides to schedule a clone of it by the same producer in the same timeslot. What genius!

I'm glad Futurama is back, but the Sunday at 7:00 time slot has to go. Being preempted for football is what almost killed this show in the first place.

Why don't they just schedule football till 7:30? It always runs about that long anyhow, and I'm sure loudmouths like Terry Bradshaw will be able to stretch if they do somehow finish early.

Because FOX doesn't always have a double-header. CBS will show double-headers in your market half-the-season and FOX will show double-headers the other half-season. It usually alternates week-to-week.

I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE King of the Hill... and two of my fave shows are Simpsons and Malcolm...splitting these two by sticking that TURD KotH in between is going to be lethal... hope this isn't the case...**** you fox... they should put Andy Richter in there if they are gonna move Malcolm to 9pm.

For the love of God, why can't we have a Matt Groening hour? You can't ask for a better combination of shows.

I agree with everyone else: "F*** FOX!"

This means nothing. They will have another "season", but there are still no new episodes in production. FOX is just airing old episodes that never saw the light of day, while the writers, animators, and voice actors have to go find new work.
