Fall TV 2024: FOX

FOX  Fall TV Look 2024   Upfronts

 FOX has released its fall line up.  A big change is that Family Guy will not be part of the fall line up, the series has been bumped to a mid season slot. The network has been expanding how many animated series it has  and that has caused some disruption to its animated line up.  Last season, Family Guy moved to Wednesday for a part.   That's not the only returning series returning in mid season, that also includes Animal Control, The Cleaning Lady, and Alert. 

    Also, gone from the line up is WWE SmackDown which is departing the network and moving to USA.  The network has decided to replace the slot with live sports with college football/basketball and the UFL. 

       9-1-1 : Lone Star was delayed because of the strikes  and is now making a return to the line up on Monday nights, the slot its sister show held.  The network is leading out the night with a new series Rescue: Hi-Surf.  

            Tuesdays also include another show that ended up skipping the 2023-24 seasons  Accused.  The night rounds out with Murder In a Small Town, a Canadian series that FOX has acquired. 

          Wednesdays are still unscripted with "The Masked Singer" and "The Floor" and Thursdays have Hell's Kitchen  and Special Forces: World Toughest Test, which has moved from Mondays. 

         Sunday night, new animated series Universal Basic Guys, which also has been rewed for a season second before debut, is coming.  FOX has decided to bump Family Guy to midseason to make room.  The Simpsons and Bob's Burgers will surround the show and Krapopolis will move to 9:30pm/8:30c.  

        Part of the midseason, going beyond Family Guy , other returning series will be Animal Control, The Cleaning Lady, and Alert. 

 Here's the  line up , all times ET/PT, unless otherwise noted, new series highlighted in blue

Press Release after the jump 

The Lookback: Fox Kids Fall 2001

The Flashback 

    The 2001-2002 season of TV was an interesting one for FOX Kids since it was to be the last season of FOX Kids.  In July 2001, Fox announced they were selling  Fox Family Worldwide to The Walt Disney company, FOX Kids was moved to the oversight of Fox TV. This was going to be the last season of Fox Kids with two big endings happening.  

   

      In January of 2002, FOX has washed their hands of the entire thing and let a company called 4 Kids buy their Saturday block hours.  FOX  Kids had been a successful block, causing the WB to make their own, let NBC give up on kids shows in 1992, and made Disney nervous. But it's reign near the end started to change completely.  

     Disney's One Saturday Morning seemed to issue the first blow, though I could add that cable and Nickelodeon in direct answering wouldn't be making things better for FOX Kids. Warner Brothers had left the network, but that was more a road bump than a real blow. Kids WB was a force though, a diversion for kids' attention. More choice isn't really the concept of a good thing, it just makes us feel better. All the kids programming blocks and networks were in competition  for the choice. FOX Kids  in 1998 had to compete against ABC, CBS(uhhh) , UPN (uhh) , Kids WB, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, the newly non premium Disney Channel, the final ashes of syndication, other forms of entertaiment for children,  new government rules,  Pokemon (which was in syndication then later Kids WB),  Sleeping, their own stations, and themselves (Fox Family).  That's a different landscape than they had when they entered the market.  

   

            They were seeing the writing on the wall with making Fox Family, they kind of wanted to have a children's /family network to compete against Nick, when that failed, they were ready to give up.   

   Back to January 2002, Fox Kids had it's death row date ready and this is our look at FOX Kids' final season.

 

     Weekdays!  Uhh 

 

     This is where is FOX was more at odds with it's own stations, FOX local stations felt that the weekday hours should not be kids' programming anymore.  Before 1998, FOX and the FOX stations co-owned Fox Kids, they also cut the weekday block to two hours.  Two reasons: 1. The new E/I rules and 2. their local stations wanted to expand in the morning with more profitable to them, local news.   FOX local stations, in general, felt  they didn't want kids programming in the afternoon. (there's more to this but that's a longer more annoying thing to bring up so, nah)  The other big stations affiliated with CBS, ABC, and NBC didn't do that and why should they? They aren't a small network, FOX is the big 4, so time go. More on that though as I go through the weekday block.

     

  The weekday block on some stations were moved to other stations, in New York and LA they moved the block to their new UPN sister stations (FOX bought stations of the former UPN co-owner, long story not for this post)  so that's a sign.  

        

       The  weekday block was two hours and to help their stations comply with E/I rules, help meaning eh here you go one show. They ended up with "The Magic School Bus" in 1998. It was a PBS series and PBS was done with it , so why not air that?    The Magic School Bus later would move to TLC. 

   If you don't know what "The Magic School Bus" is (insert joke here) it was 1994 TV series that ran on PBS based off books of the name, about a magic school bus. (duh?)  The series about a class, a small class, and their quirky teacher, being quirky deciding the best way for her students to learn science stuff was to take them on a magical living bus, and take them into the human body, space, anywhere to learn about science. That's why FOX aired it as a E/I show. The show had 52 episodes, they were airing them 5 days a week, so every 11 ish weeks they'd reset.

One Shot Posts: Simpsons in the Current Times

One Shot Posts Fox  Disney The Simpsons

           I'm not a big on the idea of shows that aren't like soaps running for on and on and on, and of course with "The Simpsons" many would have the same view about why it keeps running and running?  Mentioning "The Simpsons" in general then opens the door to the takes that surround the show.  Personally, I enjoy seasons 1-8, a lot more, but also still watched past season 8, in reruns and premieres, but at some point, around season 28 or sometime around then, I did kind of just stop watching every Sunday. I'd check in once in a while, especially the Halloween ones, but mostly checked out of the show.  

   

    When the multi day marathons on FXX happened, I'd probably be engaged with it for a while, but then around season 14 my engagement drops a little, but there are episodes I like and would be engaged to seeing. Same with TV reruns or streaming reruns. The thing I think that happens in some conversations about the show is the time you first see the show if you liked it, is the time your attachment to it is closest. When the show shifts in later seasons, and sometimes is rough and bumpy, it does feel a little strange and it's like an old friend has lost something about him and makes you feel kind of bad.   

        I think the thing that has to be kind of understood is that the Simpsons is still running, it's not going ever feel like season 4 again, it's impossible. If you want to watch season 4 it's easy to access, so the show continues and tries to find ways to adapt and live in our time. The show was essentially the 90's (including some eighties, just like how the 80's slightly carried into the 90's.)  When the times changed the show had to find ways to adapt to the current times, since the show is always about the current times.  That puts it at odds being what we know the show and characters. I think the best way is to think that the show was so good at connecting us to the characters and concept, that it's hard to see it be not exactly the same.
