2007-08 Network TV Schedule

Aside from 24, Fox previously announced full-season renewals of House, Prison Break, Bones and 'Til Death for the 2007-08 season. MADtv, meanwhile, has been reupped for 13 episodes. The remainder of the network's prime-time lineup will be announced Thursday morning.
 
Anyone know if Scrubs will be back in the fall, or yet another midseason replacement? All I've heard is that tomorrow night's episode ends in a cliffhanger with JD and Elliott in bed naked and that it's coming back.

Peter Liguori, President, Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company, today unveiled the FOX primetime schedule for the 2007-2008 television season.

“This is the most stable and most vibrant schedule ever presented by FOX – one that is sure to help us secure our fourth consecutive season as the No. 1 network in key demos,” Liguori said. “We’ll have a balanced schedule across the week, and we expect a significantly stronger fourth quarter. And in early 2008, 24 and AMERICAN IDOL, along with unprecedented sporting events in primetime – including the Super Bowl on Feb. 3 – will allow us to launch additional series and position ourselves for another dominant season.”

Liguori went on to say: “We’ll have returning shows on six nights in the fall and every night of the week come January. We’re introducing new series that are distinctive, compelling, and which have impressive auspices. New series will be paired with returning hits to create a balanced, competitive, solid schedule.”

The new dramas premiering this fall are K-VILLE (20th Century Fox Television), starring Anthony Anderson and Cole Hauser as police officers in post-Katrina New Orleans; and NEW AMSTERDAM (Regency Television), the first American television project from Oscar-nominated director/producer Lasse Hallström, featuring newcomer Nikolaj Coster Waldau as a New York City homicide detective unlike any other.

The new comedy slated for fall is BACK TO YOU (20th Century Fox Television), from executive producers Steven Levitan and Christopher Lloyd. Set at a TV news station in Pittsburgh, it stars Emmy Award winners Patricia Heaton and Kelsey Grammer and is directed by James Burrows.

The new unscripted series that will premiere this fall on FOX include, from the producers of AMERICAN IDOL, THE SEARCH FOR THE NEXT GREAT AMERICAN BAND (working title), which will do for undiscovered groups what IDOL has done for singers. Also with a musical theme, NASHVILLE (working title), from the producers of “Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County,” is an unscripted docu-soap chronicling a group of ambitious young people trying to make their mark on the music industry and Nashville society. And in KITCHEN NIGHTMARES, mercurial master chef Gordon Ramsay of HELL’S KITCHEN fame attempts to turn around floundering restaurants in less than a week.

Two additional dramas and two additional comedies will launch in midseason. Courtroom drama CANTERBURY’S LAW (Sony Pictures Television), from executive producers Denis Leary and Jim Serpico, writer Dave Erickson, and director Mike Figgis, stars Julianna Margulies as a rebellious female defense attorney who’s willing to bend the law in order to protect the wrongfully accused. And THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES (Warner Bros. Television) is an intense new drama based on the celebrated heroine of the “Terminator” movies, with Lena Headey in the title role. THE RETURN OF JEZEBEL JAMES (working title) (Regency Television) is a sister comedy starring Parker Posey and Lauren Ambrose, from “Gilmore Girls” creator Amy Sherman-Palladino. And a spring launch is planned for THE RULES FOR STARTING OVER (working title) (20th Century Fox Television), starring Craig Bierko and Rashida Jones in the Farrelly Brothers’ comedic take on a group of 30-somethings trying to find true love the second time around.

FOX series returning in 2007-2008 include: 24, AMERICAN DAD, AMERICAN IDOL, AMERICA’S MOST WANTED: AMERICA FIGHTS BACK, ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5th GRADER?, BONES, COPS, FAMILY GUY, HOUSE, KING OF THE HILL, MADtv, PRISON BREAK, THE SIMPSONS, TALKSHOW WITH SPIKE FERESTEN and ‘TIL DEATH.

CNN says it was cancelled.

That sucks. I was really looking forward to Veronica in the FBI. :(

never watched it but i hear it was great. that's two great shows axed in just a few days.

and you wonder why the networks are losing to cable. endless hours of reality tv, and rehashes of old shows. i really hope tnt or another cable network picks up jericho and tells cbs what it missed. network tv is nearly dead. at least heroes is sticking around instead of getting canned after one year.

i'm sure that within 10 years, network tv will be dead, and will be replaced by the cable companies and ala carte programming unless the networks stop canceling good shows too fast and keeping junk too long.
 
No! They can't get rid of Veronica Mars! :( That was one of my favorite shows! I thought that I heard on Fair Game (NPR) that it was coming back next year. I guess that's what happens when I miss most of the season.:( :apple:

You read my mind.

Now what was HBO's e-mail address again? :D

i'm thinking this needs to be on basic cable, so this would be perfect on sci-fi or tnt. two out of every three households with tv have cable, so it wouldn't suffer a huge ratings dip.

little known fact, jag was actually cancelled by nbc after the first season. cbs picked it up and ran for 200 more shows. perhaps a move to cable will keep jericho on the air.
 
Shows have nothing to do with what people like its all about what the advertisers will pay for, and they won't pay for a show with low ratings. So as long as the advertisers are spending big bucks the networks will cancel the stuff that doesn't get viewers.

now here's the thing...what happens when the public tires of reality garbage? it's goodbye to reality tv shows. but i doubt it, network tv execs know reality tv shows are cheap to make than actual tv shows, and rehashing the same old stuff is supposed to make the show good.

i know what you are saying, but the thing is they keep canceling shows too quick now. it's like if it doesn't become an instant hit, it's gone the next day. you can't expect people to be attracted to something in one day...it takes time, like 2-3 seasons, not 1 episode. and you wonder why cable tv shows are being talked about more, they for the most part, give more time to their tv shows than the 2 shows most are on broadcast tv now.

And, more specifically, those shows need to be drawing the right kind of people. They'll cancel shows that are doing well if the audience isn't the gender & age group they want for their advertising.

And shows are definitely being cancelled too quickly. In my opinion, the network should be obligated to show an entire season of any show they decide to air. They've gotten too bogged down in numbers and statistics, trying to predict what will or won't succeed based on one or two episodes.

I'll be happy to witness the death of advertising-driven TV in this country. I expect it to happen within the next decade (or two).
 
someone said they are still looking only at the old ways of gathering ratings, and pretty much, if the show isn't a runaway hit, it's likely getting cancelled.

and also, terrible shows have stayed on the air for a long time due to having high ratings, but not a stable fan base.
