Going over Fox's 2011-2012 primetime schedule

MONDAY
8/7c TERRA NOVA
9 pm House

After Terra Nova was supposed to premiere for the 2010-2011 midseason, delayed to having its pilot air in the spring, and then further delayed, it's finally arriving at fall. Curiously, House gets moved to 9 and Terra Nova takes the 8 PM slot. Is the purpose so that people who want to watch House end up watching Terra Nova, or are they just better fits for their respective time slots?

TUESDAY
8 pm Glee
9 pm NEW GIRL
9:30 pm Raising Hope

Fox is again trying to use Glee to launch a successfully comedy block.

WEDNESDAY
8-9:30 pm THE X FACTOR
9:30 pm I HATE MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER

Assuming The X Factor is successful, Fox will look pretty scary with a whole year of X Factor and American Idol.

THURSDAY
8 pm THE X FACTOR (Results Show)
9 pm Bones

FRIDAY
8 pm Kitchen Nightmares
9 pm Fringe

SATURDAY
8 pm Cops
9 pm Encores/America’s Most Wanted (Specials)

Cops continues, but AMW, which apparently hasn't made money in years, will only have specials.

SUNDAY
7:30 pm The Cleveland Show
8 pm The Simpsons
8:30 pm ALLEN GREGORY
9 pm Family Guy
9:30 pm American Dad

***MIDSEASON SCHEDULE***

MONDAY
8/7c House
9 pm ALCATRAZ

House moves back to 8 while JJ Abrams's new drama Alcatraz is at 9. Given JJ Abrams's latest failures, Undercovers and, to an extent, Fringe, we shouldn't be too quick to assume Alcatraz will survive.

TUESDAY
8 pm Glee
9 pm NEW GIRL
9:30 pm Raising Hope


WEDNESDAY
8-9:30 pm American Idol
9:30 pm I HATE MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER

THURSDAY
8 pm American Idol (Results Show)
9 pm FINDER/Bones (Returning in Spring)

Emily Deschanel's means Bones won't have a full season. That means Finder will fill its place to a while. Sadly, the Finder backdoor pilot was horrid.

FRIDAY
8 pm Kitchen Nightmares
9 pm Fringe

SATURDAY
8 pm Cops
9 pm Encores/America’s Most Wanted (Specials)

SUNDAY
7:30 pm The Cleveland Show
8 pm The Simpsons
8:30 pm NAPOLEON DYNAMITE
9 pm Family Guy
9:30 pm Bob’s Burgers
