It always says something when there's only one night of all-live action
scripted programming on the schedule and it won't be until March.
Meanwhile, according to Too Much TV, Fox's post-strikes schedule begins
similar to the current schedule on Tues. Jan. 2 with the new game show from
"Voice" creator John DeMol "The Floor," hosted by Rob Lowe and shot in
Ireland, following "Name That Tune." The next night, it's a new season of
"I Can See Your Voice" followed by "We Are Family," a new
guess-the-singing-celebrity-relative show hosted by Anthony Anderson and
with his mother Doris Bowman, who helped to ruin the ABC reboot of "To Tell
the Truth."
On Sun. Jan. 7 coming out of the NFL at 8 p.m. (but against SNF and the
Golden Globes) will be the premiere of the Jon Hamm cartoon "Grimsberg"
(already renewed for a second season, produced in-house with animation by
Fox-owned Bento Box) and a new season of "The Great North" at 9:30 after
"Krapopolis" and "Bob's Burgers." However, the second episodes will not air
until after the Super Bowl, with "Great North" at 9 and "Grimsberg" at 9:30.
On Mon. Jan. 22, the "TMZ Investigates" docuseries (TMZ now owned by Fox)
that's been airing off and on in prime time gets a weekly slot, followed by
the "America's Most Wanted" reboot. On Thursdays starting Feb. 1, "Gordon
Ramsay's Next Level Chef" (shot in Ireland this year) will air followed by
the bucolic dating show "Farmer Wants a Wife" ("Chef"'s premiere will come
out of the NFC championship on Sun. Jan. 28).
And finally, on Tues. Mar. 5 comes that one night of live-action scripted
with the season premieres of "Cleaning Lady" and "Alert," followed the next
night by the season premiere of "Masked Singer" (with Rita Ora filling in
on the panel for Nicole Scherzinger while she's playing Nora Desmond in the
"Sunset Boulevard" revival on the West End), followed by a new season of
"Animal Control" (a show that must have enough Canadian content to air on
the CBC in prime time, on a network that the Canadian government generally
does not allow to air U.S. shows in prime time) and the biggest
surprise--the moving of "Family Guy" out of the Sunday Animation Domination
block, which may be an indication that the contract with Disney is about to
run out, Fox is not renewing it and the show is either going to end or move
to ABC or Hulu.
