News > The Chronicles of What? Fox's Fall and Winter Plans
May 17, 2007
Fox, purveyors of endless seasons of "The Simpsons" and, well, trash T.V., seems to have struck gold again. The network is gearing up for a fall schedule that is, once again, heavy as hell on the reality sector. The network plans to push reality for the fall season, holding back its scripted shows until mid-season, perhaps in an attempt to avoid confusing its already shockingly large and under-informed viewer base. Highlights for fall include Thursday night's "Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?," as well as Friday's "The Search For The Next Great American Band" (nice title, guys). Things get a bit more entertaining come January, as the mid-season lineup has a couple of new dramas. "The Sarah Conner Chronicles" is rumored to be the long lost replacement for the X-Files, though we doubt it will be able to hold a candle to the darling of Fox's glory days. Oh, and you can still catch "The Simpsons" every Sunday night. Great. Check out the full lineup below, as :
