Change we can believe in. Not when it comes to FOX’s just released 2008-2009 midseason schedule.
For every bit of good news, like the highly anticipated return of 24 (January 11), the series premiere of the intriguing new Tim Roth vehicle LIE TO ME (January 21) and FRINGE scaring up the coveted post-IDOL time-slot (January 20). There is an equal amount of bad news. Namely the relegation of Joss Whedon’s DOLLHOUSE and TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES to Fridays, the inconspicuous absence of PRISON BREAK and THE CLEVELAND SHOW, not to mention the moving of consistent time-slot winner BONES to the ‘coveted’ Thursday at 8PM slot.
