Fox Tweaks Post-strike Schedule - Today's News: Our Take

Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton in Back to You by Sam Jones/Fox

Just when we thought we had the spring and summer mapped out, Fox has retooled its midseason schedule, announcing plans to launch fresh eps of House, Bones, Back to You and 'Til Death starting in April, among other tweaks. House will be back with new shows on Mondays at 9 pm/ET as of April 28.

Freshman series Canterbury's Law, meanwhile, has been moved up from its original April 14 start date to March 10 at 8 pm/ET, while Bones now kicks off on April 14 at 8 pm/ET. Comedies Back to You and 'Til Death have gone into production already, but each also has a few episodes left from pre-strike days. Fox had originally planned to air the remaining two Back to You shows Feb. 26 and 27 and the Death ep March 25. Instead, Death will kick off on April 16 at 8 pm/ET, with Back to You will follow at 8:30 pm/ET.

Other Fox faves starting production include 24 (to return in January 2009), The Simpsons, Family Guy and American Dad, among others. Still need more show updates? Check out Ausiello's chart at TVGuide.com/ShowStatus to get the hourly news. — Anna Dimond

What about Prison Break? Will we get the remainder of the season's episodes or have we lost that show completely? I didn't like the way it ended last night - too many loose ends.

Boy do I agree SBThompson. I was left really unsatisfied by Prison Break's season finale. i've about had it with the locale and since we know that Michael will have to find some way to get Sucre out of there I wonder if we the audience are also sentenced to another season in Sona-or is it "Soma" Mr. Huxley?

I'm also quite ready to see both Jodi Lyn O'Keefe and her character get on their horse and ride on out of the picture. Wouldn't mind seeing Susan get her just desserts on the way out either. In fact,the failure to do just that was one of the most disappointing things about the episode.

Glad to see that T-Bag's lapse into compassion was just another ruse but I think it was clumsily handled. The dialogue between he and Brad leading up to their "rescue" of Lechero seemed unneccessarily sincere and, I think, betrayed a bit of laziness on the part of the writer's in order to place that particular red herring.

I don't like that we'll have to wait until the fall to see some actual developments.

I'm just so excited that there may actually be more episodes in the fall. I'm getting a little tired of the prison atmosphere but I guess we won't get too far from that. The name of the show is Prison Break, after all. Yeah, Gretchen/Susan can go away any time now, I agree with you on that. I was disappointed Michael didn't shoot her but when I saw his arm start to shake, I knew he couldn't do it. Here's to Season 4! Can't wait.

I'm looking forward to the fall too. Just not happy about having to wait that long.
