I think FOX will bring back 24 in the fall instead of waiting for next January. If they wait until next January it would be a year and half between seasons. I agree with a previous poster about moving SCC (if they bring it back) and 24 to Sundays. With the football lead in half of the time in the fall these shows could do great. I also like the idea moving the animated comedies to Wednesdays. With Prison Break and a new show on Mondays. Bones and House on Tuesdays. Leave Thursdays and Saturdays alone. Although I still like the idea of moving House to Thursdays at some point. The only question mark is Fridays. Maybe that could get some traction there with Moment of Truth. But I doubt it.

I think when Idol comes around midseason that Bones would work as a Friday 8pm show with perhaps another new drama or like you said, Moment of Truth if it holds up (which I don't think it will long term). Perhaps Fox needs to consider trying out Nanny 911 and Trading Spouses on Fridays again.

I really doubt that Bones would work on Fridays, as I believe that FOX has the same concerns. I think they have announced a move to Fridays for Bones for the last 4 seasons and have backed out every time. I am really not sure what the answer is for them on Fridays, as they have tried everything. Maybe they should just throw 5th Grader and Lyrics on Fridays and let them be. Than they could try and build a more powerful Thursday (although I know they have made strong gains on Thursdays with those shows.) I really think they should move House to Thursdays at 8 followed by a new show. At least in the winter when they have Idol on Tuesdays. House should really be used to pump up a new show, not as a leadout of the strongest show on TV.

Moment of Truth is going to hold up well. We both found it to be incredibly addicting - especially after the 2nd episode where the lie detector exposed some happy moments. (Even those looking for "drama" would tire of it if it became predictable.)

Bones IS working on Fridays. The repeats are drawing between 5 and 6 milion viewers right now. If they threw on a new episodes, I can see 8 million easily, perhaps even 9-10 million. Especially if it had the 9pm slot.

As a BIG fan of Bones, Iwas afraid of it going to Fridays and Die, but it is doing pretty well so far.

Bones will do fine on Fridays, especially if it's at nine where there's not much competition.

FOX has it's mind set on moving Bones and with repeats usually getting 2nd or 3rd place, I don't think they'll change their mind, but I can change my mind, so here's my new revised schedule:

Sunday
7:00 THE OT / Back 2 You (after football season)
7:30 THE OT / Til Death (after football season)
8:00 Sarah Connor Chronicles
9:00 24 (2 seasons)

Monday
8:00 Prison Break / Kitchen Nightmares / Prison Break
9:00 Fringe

Tuesday
8:00 Dollhouse / American Idol / Dollhouse (summer)
9:00 House MD

Wednesday
8:00 Simpsons
8:30 King of the Hill (13 episode order) / Idol Results
9:00 Family Guy
9:30 American Dad

Thursday
8:00 5th Grader
9:00 Don't Forget the Lyrics

Friday
8:00 Moment of Truth
9:00 Bones

Replacement Shows
Hackett
Hell's Kitchen (summer)
Nanny 911 [the unaired episodes from this season]
Smille You're Under Arrest
So You Think You Can Dance (summer)
The Oaks
Tradding Spouces [the unaired episodes from this season]

If Moment of Truth dies, then Hell's Kitchen can move to Fridays before Bones. Dollhouse can just move to Mondays once Idol returns instead of holding off airing episodes until summer.

FOX is too successful and has too many good new scripted shows to bother to take a CW cast off--even if it is a HUGE mistake on the CW's part, but MyNetworkTV isn't too proud to take it. I'm sure they can give up their Friday Night Movie (because they've still got a Thursday Night movie) for Friday Night Smackdown!.

Fox next year could have a good demo year if they do things right!

Starting off Monday
Fall/Winter/Spring
8-SCC/ Prison Break/SCC
9-24/24/24

Since 24 didn't happen this year, Fox would be stupid to wait til january. They should do 24 back to back seasons. Bring Prison Break back just for 13 short episodes for a series final.

Tuesday-
8-House/American Idol/AI
9-Dollhouse/Dollhouse/House

Try putting Dollhouse on after house, and if all works out Fox should try than try to put it on behind american idol to build a bigger audience with like it did to house

Wednesday-
8-Bones/American Idol/Bones
9-Fringe/Fringe/American Idol
9:30 Starting Under

Fox could use AI to build two shows off of American idol. Try making wednesday b4 AI cop night for fox. than use AI to help build on to Fringe like it could do with dollhouse.

Thursday-
8-5th Grader/DFTL/5th Grader
9-MOT/MOT/DFTL

Use DFTL as a filler to give breaks to the other shows. depending on how MOT does maybe fox should use that a the filler since the other two are hits.

Friday-
8-Saint of Circumstance
9-Hackett
9:30-This might hurt

Fox should try 2 new shows on friday! these two should like the best fit for eachother.

Saturday-
8-Cops
9-AMW

Sunday- Comedy Night Done Right!!
7-Comedy Encores
8-Simpsons
8:30-Back to You
9-Family Guy
9:30- Til Death/American Dad

give a 13 episode order to til death, if the ratings stay strong make more, but if low end it!

Yes because after 10 years of Friday flops, the first thing Fox will do is throw more money on a night that won't stick. Why not do reality on this night?

I like your Monday through Thursday. I'm just not sure about Friday & Sunday.

I'd suggest:

Friday-
8-Back to You
9:30-Til Death
9-Hackett
9:30-This Might Hurt

Sunday-
7-Comedy Encores
8-Simpsons
8:30-American Dad (it'd get sampled more)
9-Family Guy
9:30- King of the Hill

Than maybe Starting Under could replace the weakest show (*cough* Til Death *cough*) come fall.

They are that stupid. They already said it most likely won't come back till January 2009. Terrible, terrible decision.
