FOX Reveals Fall Schedule
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Drama, Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Family Guy, So You Think You Can Dance, Gossip, Renewals

With the spring season winding down, the fall season is already waiting to heat up this November. FOX has unveiled their upcoming schedule, so you can anticipate all through the long weeks of summer reality shows.
FOX staples like House, So You think You Can Dance and Bones will all retain their usual weekday time slots, with Fringe and Lie To Me both getting the renewal nod. The musical comedy Glee will appear on Wednesday, right after the Dance results show.
Friday will be a night of new programming for some viewers, as FOX has shifted their much-moved ‘Til Death into this space with two newbies. Brothers will premiere at the top of the 8 o’clock hour, with Dollhouse rounding out the latter half of the 8-10 block.

(You can view TV Envy’s Programming Schedule here.)
MONDAY 5/11)
- Gossip Girl (CW, 8pm): “Serena’s run-in with the police upsets Lily.” She only expected her daughter to be cuffed and shamed, not frisked and strip-searched.
- Weaponizers (Discovery, 9pm): Season premiere. “An RV takes on a shuttle bus, after the teams equip them with rockets, machine guns and medieval weapons in this reality series featuring vehicle face-off competitions.” The only thing missing in this equation is Jason Statham.
- Two and a Half Men (CBS, 9:30pm): “Alan and Chelsea bond, and their time together gives Charlie a needed break to do the things he loves doing on his own.” A wingman can help you score a woman….and keep her busy too.
- Medium (NBC, 10pm): “After Allison slips into a coma while working on a case, her spirit transfers into the body of a middle-aged man (Jeffrey Tambor).” The sexual reassignment process was much easier than the one Alexis Arquette went through.

MONDAY 5/4)
- How I Met Your Mother (CBS, 8:30pm): “Barney celebrates his 200th. No need to explain more.” That’s gonna be LEGEN… wait for it… and I hope you’re not lactose intolerant because the second half of that word is… DAIRY!
- Table for 12 (TLC, 9pm): “Eric and Betty try to keep the kids busy when they’re all stuck at home on a school day.” I believe snow days is how they got their 10 kids to begin with.
- Two and a Half Men (CBS, 9pm): “Chelsea moves into the house, and Alan feels like he is being pushed out.” It was like that time when his best friend Andie started dating that guy named Blane.
- New York Goes to Work (VH1, 10pm): Series premiere. “Viewers vote on which of the three jobs the long-time reality show veteran will take. If she impresses her employer, she’ll get a $5000 bonus. If she quits or fails, she’ll get nothing.” If she flames royally, VH1 will renew her contract.

After what seemed like months of repeats, ABC returned last night with (mostly) new episodes. The network took the 10:00 hour away from Southland and won the night’s demos. CBS, though, was first place with the viewers.
8pm

Monday Ratings: Bones is No House
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, 24, Dancing With The Stars, Heroes, Medium, Ratings
Attempts to give Bones more attention didn’t do much for either the show or the network. Despite decreased competition from CBS, the program pulled in smaller numbers than the normal slot holder. The series also declined from its last Thursday outing.
8pm
- Dancing with the Stars (20.7 million, 4.7/12 in 18-49) scooped up 1.2 million.
- Bones (8.4 million, 2.5/7) was down 3.4 million from House‘s numbers.
- The Big Bang Theory* (7.7 million, 2.8/8) gave up 2.4 million; How I Met Your Mother* (6.6 million, 2.7/7) lost 3 million.
- Chuck (6.1 million, 2.3/6) did about the same.
- Gossip Girl (1.2/3) returned to 2.4 million.

Thursday Ratings: Parks Weakens Without Office
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Grey's Anatomy, My Name Is Earl, Survivor, The Office, Ratings
Although it’s still hard to say how Southland will do against an ABC original, the series held up remarkably well in its second week. Unfortunately, the same can’t entirely be said for Harper’s or Parks. The CBS mystery lost nearly 2 million in its second week while the comedy suffered a case of the post-Earl blues.
8pm
- Survivor: Tocantins (11.6 million, 3.5/11 in 18-49) added on 300,000.
- Bones (8.7 million, 2.5/8) slipped by 200,000.
- My Name is Earl (5.3 million, 2.1/7) did 1.9 million less than last week’s Office; Parks and Recreation (5.9 million, 2.5/7) fell by 900,000 after smaller lead-in.
- In the Motherhood (4.7 million, 1.4/5) and Samantha Who? (5 million, 1.5/5) were both up 100,000.
- Smallville* (1.8 million, 0.8/2) was off by 200,000.
