Fox Answers Last-Place Finish With Prime-Time Shakeup
Posted in: Uncategorized
In response to its last-place finish in the seasonal ratings race, Fox has shaken up its prime-time schedule like a balky Etch A Sketch, revamping Tuesday nights altogether while adding new dramas on Mondays and Wednesdays.
While the one-hour Tuesday comedy block has survived, it is being moved back to the 8 p.m. slot and will be populated by two new single-cams. Starring “Full House” vet John Stamos as a selfish single guy who discovers that he’s a father — cue the sound of a needle scratching a record — and a grandfather at the same time, “Grandfathered” will be paired with the Rob Lowe legal comedy “The Grinder.”
Conspicuous by its absence on fall Tuesdays is “New Girl”; the Season 5 premiere of the Zooey Deschanel vehicle has been shuttled to January, where it will be paired with the new ensemble comedy “The Guide to Surviving Life.”
