Fox Gets Serious -- Sort Of

Hot on the heels of the other networks' plans for fall, Fox came out determined to prove they weren't just a placeholder for "American Idol."

USA Today says that two new comedies will premiere, which includes the new Brad Garrett vehicle, "'Til Death." However, the bulk of the programming will not revolve around reality TV, but instead is very heavy with dramatic fare.

*Indicates new programming

Gone for good is "Arrested Development," The Bernie Mac Show," "Free Ride," "Stacked" -- and obviously, "Reunion," "Malcolm in the Middle" and "That '70s Show."

I have to say that I am happy to see "The Loop" get another shot. I had sort of given up on it, mainly because I never knew when it was on. However, it can be pretty funny and stars "Seinfeld's" Bookman -- how can you go wrong with that?

Absent from the schedule was the new Rob Corddry comedy, "The Winner," which could be on hold as a possible mid-season replacement. -- Rachel Cericola
