It always says something when there's only one night of all-live action scripted programming on the schedule and it won't be until March.
Meanwhile, according to Too Much TV, Fox's post-strikes schedule begins similar to the current schedule on Tues. Jan. 2 with the new game show from "Voice" creator John DeMol "The Floor," hosted by Rob Lowe and shot in Ireland, following "Name That Tune." The next night, it's a new season of "I Can See Your Voice" followed by "We Are Family," a new guess-the-singing-celebrity-relative show hosted by Anthony Anderson and with his mother Doris Bowman, who helped to ruin the ABC reboot of "To Tell the Truth."
On Sun. Jan. 7 coming out of the NFL at 8 p.m. (but against SNF and the Golden Globes) will be the premiere of the Jon Hamm cartoon "Grimsberg" (already renewed for a second season, produced in-house with animation by Fox-owned Bento Box) and a new season of "The Great North" at 9:30 after "Krapopolis" and "Bob's Burgers." However, the second episodes will not air until after the Super Bowl, with "Great North" at 9 and "Grimsberg" at 9:30.
On Mon. Jan. 22, the "TMZ Investigates" docuseries (TMZ now owned by Fox) that's been airing off and on in prime time gets a weekly slot, followed by the "America's Most Wanted" reboot. On Thursdays starting Feb. 1, "Gordon Ramsay's Next Level Chef" (shot in Ireland this year) will air followed by the bucolic dating show "Farmer Wants a Wife" ("Chef"'s premiere will come out of the NFC championship on Sun. Jan. 28).
And finally, on Tues. Mar. 5 comes that one night of live-action scripted with the season premieres of "Cleaning Lady" and "Alert," followed the next night by the season premiere of "Masked Singer" (with Rita Ora filling in on the panel for Nicole Scherzinger while she's playing Nora Desmond in the "Sunset Boulevard" revival on the West End), followed by a new season of "Animal Control" (a show that must have enough Canadian content to air on the CBC in prime time, on a network that the Canadian government generally does not allow to air U.S. shows in prime time) and the biggest surprise--the moving of "Family Guy" out of the Sunday Animation Domination block, which may be an indication that the contract with Disney is about to run out, Fox is not renewing it and the show is either going to end or move to ABC or Hulu.
