FOX announced its plans to rearrange the schedule starting in January for many of your favorite show and is adding quite a few new shows to it's lineup.
Moving AMERICAN IDOL from it's standby spot after GLEE on Tuesday nights is an interesting move, with the loss of the man we most loved to hate, Simon Cowell off the show, AI will be searching for it's new audience. Idol adds new judges Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler to the show to join Randy Jackson and host Ryan Seacrest return to search for the newest "American Idol" with the auditions held in Austin, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Nashville, New Orleans, San Francisco and East Rutherford, NJ this year.
After a run of six all-new episodes in a row this fall, HUMAN TARGET returns with it's trio of unlikely hero's in two special two-hour episodes airing Wednesday, January 5 and 12 at 8/7 Central and MST in Denver and then this popular action series moves to it's time period on Wednesday, January 26th 9/8C and MST in Denver following AMERICAN IDOL for three weeks.
BONES then moves to a new time period Thursdays 9/8C and MST in Denver PM after AMERICAN IDOL part 2 at 8/7C MST in Denver starting Jan. 20.
FRINGE will be moving to a new night and time beginning Friday January 28 to it's new date and time Friday at 9/8C MST.
THE CLEVELAND SHOW makes its time period premiere Sunday, Jan. 9 with AMERICAN DAD moving to a new time a week later Sunday, Jan. 16 .
New shows include:
- BOB’S BURGERS, the new animated comedy about a man, his family and their burger joint, opens Sunday, Jan. 9 (8:30-9:00 PM ET/PT).
- THE CHICAGO CODE (formerly titled “Ride-Along”), the new police drama from creator Shawn Ryan (“The Shield”), will make its anticipated debut the night after SUPER BOWL XLV, Monday, Feb. 7 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), following all-new episodes of HOUSE (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT). The new fast-paced series starring Jason Clarke (“Public Enemies,” “Brotherhood”), Jennifer Beals (LIE TO ME, “The L Word”), Delroy Lindo (“Kidnapped”) and Matt Lauria (“Friday Night Lights”) follows the Windy City’s most powerful and respected cops as they navigate the city’s underbelly to fight crime and expose corruption.
- MIXED SIGNALS, the new relationship comedy created by Bob Fisher (“Wedding Crashers”) that reveals how friendships and romances both enhance and complicate the lives of the men and women in them, will have its series premiere Tuesday, Feb. 8 (9:30-10:00 PM ET/PT) following all-new episodes of GLEE (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) and RAISING HOPE (9:00-9:30 PM ET/PT). The new ensemble comedy stars David Denman (“The Office”), Nelson Franklin (“I Love You, Man”), Kris Marshall (HUMAN TARGET), Liza Lapira (“Dexter”) and Aya Cash (“Law & Order: Special Victims Unit”).

Created by Adam F. Goldberg (“Fanboys”) and Seth Gordon (“Four Christmases” and the upcoming “Horrible Bosses”), the series centers on a team of uniquely skilled oddball geniuses hand-picked to work for a manipulative mastermind. Starring Christian Slater (“The Forgotten”), Bret Harrison (“Reaper”) and Odette Yustman (“You Again”), the new comedy premieres Wednesday, April 6 (9:30-10:00 PM ET/PT) following 90-minute AMERICAN IDOL episodes (8:00-9:30 PM ET/PT).
