I do catch up on episodes every few months (I'll probably watch the current
season so far over the holiday weekend), but it's not the kind of appointment
television it would have been for me up until a decade or so ago.
I'm making no guarantees of quality, but I think episodes like Treehouse of
Horror that break from the typical format stand a better chance of not feeling
like the old familiar.

Is anyone in this group still watching new episodes of The Simpsons? I’ve
always liked the show, but I feel like I’ve watched enough of it. On rare
occasions, I’ll dig back into the “classic” episodes from the first decade or
so, but I don’t think I’m missing much if I choose to not watch let alone not
rewatch anything from the last 15 or so years. I think the only new episode
I’ve seen in the last decade was the Futurama crossover.

“The Simpsons” has already been airing new episodes this season, so that’s not
really a season premiere, more like “a return after ‘Grimsburg’ has been in its
regular time slot for a while.”

I was a bit thrown by no mention of The Simpsons so I went to the Fox press
release to see what was going on. The new season will premiere on February 18.

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.
