Two new dramas, a handful of returning shows and "American Idol" will hit the airwaves when Fox remakes its schedule yet again in January.
The network's Saturday and Sunday won't change from what they are now in January. Every other night of the week, however, will feature at least one change when the calendar turns to 2005.
In addition to the previously announced premieres of "24" and "Idol," Fox will bring "The Bernie Mac Show" back to the network, albeit in a different time slot -- 8 p.m. Fridays. A new edition of "The Simple Life" is also set to premiere in January; it will air at 8:30 p.m. Wednesdays, leading into the "Idol" results show.
The new dramas are "Jonny Zero," about an ex-con turned private eye, and "Point Pleasant," a supernatural soap. "Point Pleasant" will follow "The O.C." on Thursdays starting Jan. 20, after "North Shore" concludes its season. "Jonny Zero" will air at 9 p.m. Fridays starting Jan. 14.
The scheduling of "Point Pleasant" is likely another nail in the coffin of "Tru Calling," which was originally scheduled for Thursdays in the fall, then bumped to "later this season" in favor of "North Shore."
The network also says that the comedy "Life on a Stick," starring Zachary Knighton and Amy Yasbeck, will debut in March. |
