FOX Announces April Return for 'House'!

Post by: Sal

FOX has added original episodes of "Bones," Back to You," "'Til Death" and "House" to a spring schedule already loaded with fresh series premieres.

The network announced Tuesday (Feb. 19) that those four returning shows will return to production for new episodes (exact numbers to be determined) in April and May. In addition, "24" will go back to shooting its seventh season, though that Emmy-winning drama won't return until Jan. 2009, when it can stick to tradition by airing 24 consecutive episodes.

The move that's bound to interest the greatest number of viewers is the shift of "House" to Monday nights. The medical drama will have its time period premiere on Monday, April 21 with an encore episode at 9 p.m. ET, followed by the first of an unspecified original post-strike episodes premiering the following week. FOX had already announced plans to air repeats on "House" on Mondays through the summer.

"House" will be paired with "Bones," which was already set to take the Monday 8 p.m. slot starting on April 14. The forensic series had a number of episodes in the can already and will shoot new ones as well.

The return of "House" means that FOX is moving up the premiere of " Canterbury's Law." Already on its third or fourth different premiere date and time slot, "Law" will now premiere on Monday, March 10 at 8 p.m.

The comedies "Back to You" and "'Til Death" will also stagger back onto the air in the weeks to come. With "Back to You," the network was already set to air original episodes on Tuesday, Feb. 26 and Wednesday, Feb. 27 in the post-"Idol" 9:30 p.m. slots. The series will then vanish until Wednesday, April 16, when it will have its 8:30 p.m. time slot premiere, beginning a run of new episodes. Wednesday, April 16 will also be the time period premiere for "'Til Death" in the 8 p.m. slot, but the comedy will air an isolated new episode on Tuesday, March 25 at 9:30 p.m.

In addition, FOX still has "Unhitched" (March 2), "New Amsterdam" (preview 03/04, time period premiere March 10), "The Return of Jezebel James" (March 14) and a new season of "Hell's Kitchen" (April 1) premiering this spring.

FOX also announced that the animated comedies "American Dad," "Family Guy" and "The Simpsons" are resuming production.

FOX Can Handle More 'Truth'!

Post by: Sal

FOX is prepared to take advantage of the millions of Americans whose dark secret is that they can't stop watching "Moment of Truth."

The network announced on Friday (Feb. 1) that it has ordered an additional 13 episodes of the unscripted drama in which regular people face a polygraph with the truth standing as the only thing keeping them from large prizes.

The 13-episode pick-up (on top of an original 12-episode order) isn't really a surprise given that "Moment of Truth" currently stands as the season's No. 1 new program in total viewers, adults 18-49, adults 18-34 and teens.

The show's premiere last Wednesday was the season's highest rated among adults 18-49 and in total viewers for any network, retaining 94 percent of its 18-49 lead-in from "American Idol." The latter figure was down to 77 percent demo retention in the show's second airing this week, but FOX can hardly be unhappy about 17.6 million viewers and a 7.8 rating in the 18-49 demo.

"Moment of Truth" will continue to air on Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET until March 5, when it moves into its previously scheduled 8 p.m. Wednesday time slot.
