FOX: My new favorite network

This week the rest of the major networks will be holding their upfront presentations. FOX kicked things off today with the official announcement of its new schedule.

Returning shows include all the franchise hits you would expect plus a few surprises like "Dollhouse," "Lie to Me" and inexplicably "Til Death."

The other big fall announcement was that the reality hit "So You Think You Can Dance" will now have a fall season, which means I'll get two awesome seasons a year of the dancing favorite.

"Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" and "King of the Hill" have been officially canceled.

Among the new shows are the heavily hyped "Glee" and "The Cleveland Show."

The rest of the new schedule includes:

• "Brothers"-a sitcom starring Michael Strahan as a just retired NFL player. Wow that really sounds like he's stretching himself.
• "Human Target"-A DC comics story about a bodyguard who becomes his clients in order to protect them. It stars Mark Valley ("Fringe") and Jackie Earle Haley who is always good.

The schedule is rounded out by "Past Life," "Sons of Tucson" and "The Wanda Sykes Show," a Saturday late night talk show.

In a question and answer session that followed the announcements, FOX executives said that they felt that Joss Whedon's loyal fan base would help grow "Dollhouse" and that the network was very excited about "Glee."

They also mentioned that "So You Think You Can Dance" producer Nigel Lythgoe had a few changes planned that would help keep the show from becoming stale, with two cycles a year.

With FOX and NBC already done, that leaves us halfway through upfront season with CBS tomorrow and ABC later in the week. And of course, at some point, we'll discuss The CW.
