The Bigwigs over at FOX have given us a look at the fall schedule. Can you wait, Glee fans??
UPDATE: Glee has also been given the coveted post-Superbowl slot, lets hope that it can stay popular that long and doesn’t suffer from a sophomore slump!
The big move is Glee moving to 8pm Tuesdays where it will lead in to the new comedy pairing of Raising Hope and Will Arnett comedy Running Wilde.
Both Lie To Me and Human Target have found their way onto the Fall schedule, slotting in on Wednesdays (until the premiere of Idol that is) and Fridays respectively. Hells Kitchen will have a regular season airing for the first time.
New show Lonestar will slot in the old Lie To Me spot behind House and the final spot goes to The Good Guys, which will premiere behind Human Target on Fridays at 9.

A couple of weeks ago the show passed the 100 episode milestone – not an easy feat for a FOX procedural. The show is very flexible also – it doesn’t really matter where it lands on the schedule, it performs well wherever.
The show has been averaging a 2.9 (18-49) rating this season and over 9 million viewers. Considering it’s up against Survivor, the numbers aren’t bad at all.
My Guess: Definitely renewed.

Last night ABC were the winners with the Greys Anatomy/Private Practice crossover, Bones set season highs and 30 Rock was beaten by Community.
ABC won the night starting off with an ABC News special on the Haiti Earthquake (1.4, 5.4 million). This lead into a Grey’s Anatomy/ Private Practice crossover event which averaged 11.9 million viewers and a 4.5 (18-49) rating.
FOX and CBS tied for second place but I’m gonna lead with FOX first because they generally have a better 18-34 rating. At 8pm, Bones set season highs, posting a 3.3 (18-49) rating and 10.7 million viewers – a season high. At 9, Fringe posted its best numbers (in that timeslot) in a while against less competition (notably missing: The Office), posting a 2.6 (18-49) rating and 6.6 million viewers.
CBS was third for the night with an original episode of CSI, which posted a 3.3 (18-49) rating and 15.4 million viewers. At 10, The Mentalist improved on its lead in (in the key demo) with a 3.4 (18-49) rating but had slightly less viewers (15.3 million).
NBC was horrible, posting its worst night for a while (with all new airings). At 8, Community continued to grow, posting a 2.3 (18-49) rating and 5.4 million viewers leading in to Parks & Recreation, which posted an average 2.1 (18-49) rating and 4.6 million viewers. At 9, 30 Rock showed us why it needs the office as a lead in – a 2.3 (18-49) rating and just 5.1 million viewers (yep, that’s right – 30 Rock was beaten by Community last night). At 10, Leno (and Jimmy Kimmel reading the 10 @ 10) posted an average 1.3 (18-49) rating and 4.4 million viewers.
