New York (Monday, May 18, 2009) – Peter Rice, Chairman, Entertainment; and Kevin Reilly, President, Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company, today unveiled the FOX primetime schedule for the 2009-2010 television season to the national advertising community during its annual Programming Presentation at New York City Center.
“As the No.1 network for the last five years, FOX is the first place viewers go to connect with the stories and characters they love,” said Rice. “With next year’s slate of distinctive shows, we’re continuing to invest in creativity to give viewers the rich, emotional experience they can only get on television.”
Reilly added, “The strategic moves we made last year to build off of our biggest assets are paying off. We’ve created stability and consistently strong performance across the week. Next season, we’re bringing back two top-rated sophomore dramas and using our hits to introduce a broad and compelling slate of new shows that will make our air even more vibrant and alive.”
After a special preview event airing Tuesday, May 19 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), GLEE, the distinctive new comedy from Ryan Murphy (“Nip/Tuck”) starring Jane Lynch (“The 40 Year Old Virgin”) and newcomers Matthew Morrison (Broadway’s “Hairspray”), Lea Michele (“Spring Awakening”) and Cory Monteith (“Kyle XY”), will enter its freshman year this fall. Combining biting humor with a soundtrack of hit music from past to present, the inventive series follows an optimistic high school teacher who – against all odds – attempts to restore McKinley High’s fading Glee Club to its former glory, while helping a group of underdogs realize their true star potential.
Two additional new comedies will premiere this fall. From the producers of FAMILY GUY, comes THE CLEVELAND SHOW. The new Sunday night animated comedy follows everyone’s favorite soft-spoken FAMILY GUY neighbor, CLEVELAND BROWN (Mike Henry), who moves with his son back to his hometown in Virginia and settles down with his high school sweetheart and her unruly kids. BROTHERS, starring Michael Strahan (“FOX NFL Sunday”) and Daryl “Chill” Mitchell (“Ed,” “Veronica’s Closet”), is a new half-hour comedy about a former big-city NFL hot shot who returns home to his family – and his mother’s house – to get his life back on track.
On Saturday, Nov. 7 (11:00 PM-Midnight ET/PT), late night will never be the same when Emmy Award winner Wanda Sykes returns to FOX to host THE WANDA SYKES SHOW (working title). The irreverent Saturday late-night series will feature Sykes’ outspoken comedic perspective on current events along with topical, high-energy roundtable discussions.
The new event drama, HUMAN TARGET, premieres with a special preview Sunday, Jan. 17 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) following the NFC Divisional Playoff game. HUMAN TARGET is a full-throttle, action-packed thrill ride from executive producers McG (“Terminator Salvation”) and Simon West (“Con Air,” “Tomb Raider”). Based on the popular DC Comics graphic novel and starring Mark Valley (FRINGE), Chi McBride (“Pushing Daisies”) and Academy Award nominee Jackie Earle Haley (“Watchmen”), the series follows CHRISTOPHER CHANCE (Valley), a unique private contractor who will stop at nothing – even if it means becoming a human target – to keep his clients alive.
The other drama for midseason is PAST LIFE, a fast-paced emotional thriller inspired by the book “The Reincarnationist.” The series stars Kelli Giddish (“All My Children”) as a gifted psychologist and Nicholas Bishop (“Home and Away”) as a former NYPD detective who work together to explore and unravel mysteries that must be solved in both the past and the present.
One new comedy is scheduled to premiere in midseason. From three-time Emmy Award winner Todd Holland (“Malcolm in the Middle”), the non-traditional family comedy SONS OF TUCSON stars Tyler Labine (“Reaper”) as a charming but wayward schemer hired by three young brothers whose father is in prison.
Summer sensation SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE moves to the fall with its sixth season. Hosted by Cat Deeley and featuring renowned judges Nigel Lythgoe and Mary Murphy, the original dance competition series will continue to inspire and amaze viewers as dancers skilled in styles ranging from hip-hop to ballroom compete to be named America’s Favorite Dancer.
It was also announced that the eighth season of 24 will return to the FOX schedule with a two-night, four-hour premiere as part of a special extended primetime on Sunday, Jan. 17 (9:00-11:00 PM ET/PT), immediately following the premiere of HUMAN TARGET. The next installment of the Emmy Award-winning series starring Kiefer Sutherland will unfold in New York City, amidst the shadows of the Statue of Liberty and the United Nations.
Other FOX series returning in 2009-2010 include: AMERICAN DAD, AMERICAN IDOL, AMERICA’S MOST WANTED, BONES, COPS, DOLLHOUSE, FAMILY GUY, FRINGE, HELL’S KITCHEN, HOUSE, KITCHEN NIGHTMARES, LIE TO ME, THE SIMPSONS and ‘TIL DEATH. Specials returning to the FOX schedule include: THE 41st NAACP IMAGE AWARDS, NEW YEAR’S EVE LIVE and TEEN CHOICE 2009.

The following new comedies will premiere this fall on FOX:
GLEE
McKinley High School’s Glee Club used to be at the top of the show choir world, but years later, it has turned into a haven for misfits and social outcasts. But at McKinley, things for the Glee Club are about to change. From Ryan Murphy, the creator of “Nip/Tuck,” comes GLEE, an uplifting comedy musical series with biting humor that features a soundtrack of hit music from past to present. The show follows an optimistic high school teacher as he tries to refuel his own passion for singing while reinventing the school’s glee club and challenging a group of underdogs to realize their star potential. WILL SCHUESTER (Matthew Morrison) has offered to take on the Herculean task of restoring McKinley’s Glee Club to its former glory with the help of fellow teacher and germaphobe EMMA PILLSBURY (Jayma Mays). It’s a tall order when the brightest stars of the club include KURT (Chris Colfer), a nerdy soprano with a flair for the dramatic; MERCEDES (Amber Riley), a dynamic diva-in-training who refuses to sing back-up; ARTIE (Kevin McHale), a geeky guitarist who spends more time avoiding bullies than chasing girls; and TINA (Jenna Ushkowitz), an awkward girl who needs to suppress her stutter before she can take center stage. Will’s only hope lies with two true talents: RACHEL BERRY (Lea Michele), a perfectionist firecracker who is convinced that show choir is her ticket to stardom; and FINN HUDSON (Cory Monteith), the popular high school quarterback with movie star looks and a Motown voice who must protect his reputation with his holier-than-thou girlfriend and head cheerleader, QUINN (Dianna Agron), and his arrogant football teammate, PUCK (Mark Salling). Driven by his secret past, Will is determined to do whatever it takes to make Glee great again, even though everyone around him thinks he’s nuts. He’s out to prove them all wrong – from his tough-as-nails wife TERRI SCHUESTER (Jessalyn Gilsig) to McKinley’s scheming cheerleading coach SUE SYLVESTER (Jane Lynch) to an über-hip world that thinks jazz hands and sequined tuxedos litter the road to infamy rather than pave the way to Hollywood dreams.

THE CLEVELAND SHOW
THE CLEVELAND SHOW is a new animated series that follows everyone’s favorite soft-spoken neighbor, CLEVELAND BROWN (Mike Henry), to his hometown in Virginia as he settles down with his high school sweetheart, her unruly kids and his own 14-year-old son, CLEVELAND JR. (Kevin Michael Richardson). Many years ago, Cleveland was a high school student madly in love with a beautiful girl named DONNA (Sanaa Lathan). Much to his dismay, his love went unrequited, and Donna wound up marrying another man. Cleveland once told Donna he would always love her, and if this man ever done her wrong, he’d be there when she called. Well, this man done her wrong. Donna’s husband ran off, leaving Donna with a teenage daughter and a young son. Now she’s open to Cleveland and has offered him another chance at love. Unattached after the Loretta-Quagmire debacle and true to his word, Cleveland joyously reunites with Donna, and he and Cleveland Jr. move to Virginia to join their new family. Once in Virginia, there are a few surprises in store for Cleveland, including ROBERTA (Reagan Gomez-Preston), a rebellious new stepdaughter; RALLO (Henry), his new 5-year-old stepson who loves the ladies; and a collection of neighbors that includes a loudmouth redneck, LESTER (Richardson); a hipster wanna-be, HOLT (guest voice Jason Sudeikis); and a religious pair of talking bears, TIM (Seth MacFarlane) and his wife ARIANNA (guest voice Arianna Huffington).

BROTHERS
Starring Michael Strahan (“FOX NFL Sunday”) and Daryl “Chill” Mitchell (“Ed,” “Veronica’s Closet”), BROTHERS is a new half-hour comedy about a former NFL hot shot who learns that even though you can always go home again, the trip back might be tougher than you think. MIKE TRAINOR (Strahan) seemingly has it all – he’s a good-looking, wealthy and recently retired NFL player living the high-life in New York City, but he’s about to get sidelined. When Mike gets a phone call from his MOM (CCH Pounder, “The Shield”) who orders him home to Houston, he quickly realizes the more his life has changed, the more his family has stayed the same. His brother CHILL (Daryl “Chill” Mitchell), whose life was altered drastically after a car accident left him in a wheelchair, is struggling to keep his restaurant afloat with the help of his loudmouth associate, ROSCOE (Colton Dunn, “MADtv”). The dynamics between Mike and Chill are the same as when they were kids, and their sibling rivalry hasn’t lessened with age. If they can stop their bickering, put aside their differences and learn to be teammates, the brothers might just turn out to be each other’s biggest asset. Wedged between Mike and Chill are their parents. Their father, whom everyone refers to as COACH (Carl Weathers, “Rocky”), is the local high school football coach and the conservative, opinionated alpha male of his clan. Coach thinks he runs the show, but really it’s Mom who calls the shots. Saucy, stern and a schemer, she is the mastermind of the family. And when she learns that Mike’s business manager took off with all his money, she orchestrates a plan to keep Mike in Houston, save Chill’s restaurant and bring the family back together under one roof again – all without anyone realizing what she’s up to. Mom’s plan helps Mike realize that his family – however dysfunctional they may be – is the only family he’s got. And although he may not have a penny to his name, as long as he’s surrounded by people who love him, he’ll always be a rich man.

The following new dramas are slated for a midseason launch:
HUMAN TARGET
It takes a brave, selfless man to make himself a “human target” in order to save the lives of those in danger. Based on the popular DC Comics graphic novel, HUMAN TARGET is a full-throttle action drama centered on CHRISTOPHER CHANCE (Mark Valley, FRINGE), a unique private contractor/security guard hired to protect. Call him what you like, because for Chance, it’s about one thing only: saving his clients’ lives. When there is an unusual or imminent threat that can’t be solved through “normal” means of protection, Chance is hired to completely integrate himself into his clients’ lives – to become the human target. If you’re a corporate manager whose disgruntled employee has gone violently off the deep end, Chance is your new auditor. If you’re the president of a bank who’s been tipped off to a potential heist, Chance is your unassuming bank teller. During each job, Chance, assisted by his business partner WINSTON (Chi McBride, “Pushing Daisies”) and hired gun GUERRERO (Jackie Earle Haley, “Watchmen”), puts himself directly in the line of fire as he races against time to save his client, while unraveling the truth behind the mission. With every new danger, Chance’s dark history will also unravel. Does anyone know who Christopher Chance really is, or what secrets lay buried in his past? What would make a man willingly become a HUMAN TARGET?

PAST LIFE
Have you ever experienced déjà vu or met someone you thought seemed familiar? Do you believe in karma, fate or love at first sight? From writer David Hudgins (“Friday Night Lights”), and inspired by the book “The Reincarnationist” by M.J. Rose, comes PAST LIFE, a new drama series about an unlikely pair of past-life detectives who investigate whether what is happening to you today is the result of who you were before. DR. KATE MCGINN (Kelli Giddish, “All My Children”) is not your typical psychologist. Confident, outspoken and highly educated, she works at The Talmadge Center for Behavioral Health in New York City, a world-renowned institute dedicated to the study of the science of the soul. After experiencing a past-life regression in her 20s, Kate became a believer in reincarnation. Using regression therapy and her natural gift for reading people, Kate helps solve the mysteries of her troubled clients who suffer from present-day problems caused by past-life traumas. She believes there are levels of consciousness and explanations for human behavior that science can’t begin to explain. Accustomed to skeptics, but not bothered by them, Kate is an unapologetic believer and a force of nature who marches to the beat of her own drummer. Her partner, PRICE WHATLEY (Nicholas Bishop, “Home and Away”), is a different story. A former NYPD homicide detective, pragmatic and cynical, Price is a damaged soul who constantly battles grief and guilt over the accidental death of his wife. Price feels that Kate, though not certifiable, certainly operates on the fringes of science. It’s a volatile relationship, but with Price’s solid detective skills, and Kate’s penchant for out-of-the-box thinking, together they make a formidable, if somewhat dysfunctional, team. A fast-paced emotional thrill ride, each episode finds Price and Kate working with their colleagues to unravel a new mystery involving the past-lives of their clients. DR. MALACHI TALMADGE (Richard Schiff, “The West Wing”) is Kate’s mentor and the center’s namesake, an avuncular but gruff elder statesman who is a legend in the field of cognitive research. DR. RISHI KARNA (Ravi Patel, “Scrubs”) is the rookie of the group, a baby-faced therapist from Calcutta who loves bad American TV, Cuban jazz and driving everyone crazy.

DIRECTOR: Deran Sarafian
WRITER: David Hudgins
CAST: Kelli Giddish as Dr. Kate McGinn, Nicholas Bishop as Price Whatley, Richard Schiff as Dr. Malachi Talmadge, Ravi Patel as Dr. Rishi Karna
The following new comedy is slated for a midseason launch:
SONS OF TUCSON
In the tradition of “Malcolm in the Middle” and “The Bernie Mac Show,” SONS OF TUCSON is a family comedy about three brothers who hire a charming, wayward schemer to stand in as their father when their real one goes to prison. What begins as a business relationship evolves into something more complex and compelling: a family unlike any we’ve ever seen. The three brothers find their dad-for-hire, RON SNUFFKIN (Tyler Labine, “Reaper”), at the local sporting good store. Ron will be forced to draw on a wide array of skills and a vast bag of tricks as he steps into the patriarch role to take care of the boys of the Gunderson family. ROBBY GUNDERSON (Davis Cleveland, “How I Met Your Mother”), 8, is a loose cannon who doesn’t respond well to authority; GARY GUNDERSON (Frank Dolce, “Doubt”), 11, is a bright and street-savvy leader who is every bit the con man his father is; and BRANDON GUNDERSON (Troy Gentile, “Entourage”), 13, is a gentle free spirit who simply goes along for the ride. MAGGIE MORALES (Natalie Martinez, “Saints & Sinners”), Robby’s second-grade teacher and the object of Ron’s affection, might just be the only stable figure in the lives of this quirky quartet. While SONS OF TUCSON is grounded in the day-to-day challenges of a single-parent home, nothing in the Gunderson household is quite what it seems. An ongoing chess match between Ron and the boys will keep both parties on their toes, as neither side can afford to give up too much power or independence.

TO SOLVE THE MURDER OF A YOUNG FILM STUDENT
ON “BONES” WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 29, ON FOX
When the headless body of a young man, along with a video camera full of documentary footage, is discovered in the D.C.-area woods, Brennan and Booth are called in to identify the year-old remains and determine if a murder was committed. The body is proven to be that of University of Virginia film student Graham Hastings, who had disappeared a year before while making a documentary about the local legend of a woman thought to be a witch who beheaded anyone who dared to look for her. In a mysteriously parallel set of circumstances, Brennan and the team find that Graham was beheaded by an axe. After examining the dark, chaotic and choppy footage from Graham’s camera, Brennan and Booth learn that two other people – Graham’s girlfriend Lori and fellow classmate Brian – were in the woods with Graham on the night of his disappearance. DNA on the axe used to murder Graham leads a shocking revelation of the killer’s identity. Meanwhile, Brennan befriends Graham’s brother, Will, when she finds out that he, too, was an orphan, but the friendship quickly dissolves when the truth behind his brother’s murder is uncovered in “The Headless Witch in the Woods” episode of BONES airing Wednesday, Oct. 29 (8:30-9:30 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

BRENNAN AND BOOTH’S LATEST CASE
TURNS OUT TO BE A REAL BATTLE OF THE SEXES
ON “BONES” WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 8, ON FOX
When skeletal remains are found in the Chesapeake Bay, Brennan and Booth are on the case to investigate. With only the upper torso of the victim intact, the team has little to work from besides the remnants of the victim’s breast implants. Brennan and Booth are led to a small church community in Maryland where the victim was a pastor, but they have no record of her existence prior to moving to the small town five years prior. When the victim’s lower half is discovered, the team realizes their initial assumptions about the victim may not be correct. As Sweets lends insight to the victim’s psychological state and Brennan’s latest grad student adds his own offbeat observations, the team must decipher who would have wanted her dead. From possible love interests to her family to the parishioners at the church where she was a pastor, the anatomy of the case is very misleading in “The He in the She” episode of BONES airing Wednesday, Oct. 8 (8:00-9:01 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

House auditions potential new team members
and treats an astronaut who sees what she hears
on “house” tuesday, AUGUST 19, on fox
House has relented in regard to interviewing
potential team members, but he’s doing it his own way. He has called in all 40
applicants for the open spots on his team (including guest stars Olivia Wilde,
Kal Penn, Peter Jacobson, Anne Dudek and Edi Gathegi), each numbered
individually by runners’ bibs, and puts them to the
test in a Darwinian trial period. As he drills the fellows and arbitrarily fires
some along the way, he is approached by a fighter pilot named Greta, a candidate
for NASA’s astronaut training program. Greta suffers from a neurological
disorder in which she is converting visual images to sound, or hearing with her
eyes. Knowing that NASA would reject any possibility of her becoming an
astronaut if they knew of her problem, Greta begs House to treat her in secret.
Keeping her identity private, House takes the case to his fellowship candidates
and pits them against one another to come up with an accurate diagnosis.
Meanwhile, House is ruffled when he thinks he sees Cameron, Chase and Foreman in
the hospital hallways in “The Right Stuff” episode of HOUSE airing Tuesday,

as they
INVESTIGATE THE MURDER OF an INFANT’S MOTHER
ON
“BONES” WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 13, ON FOX
Booth and Brennan investigate the scene where a car was run off the road and the
victim’s body deliberately burned beyond recognition. When the team hears
muffled whimpering during the site investigation, they find the victim’s baby
miraculously perched in a tree above the scene of the crash. The team designates
Brennan as the infant’s caretaker, but when the baby swallows a key piece of
evidence, they question her nurturing skills. The team soon identifies the
victim as a laborer who worked in a tire-recycling factory in a small,
impoverished town in Virginia, and Brennan and Booth venture out to investigate
who might have wanted her dead. Their suspicions range from her deadbeat husband
to the impecunious habitants of her town. Meanwhile, the team is fascinated by
the presence of a baby in the lab and its affinity for Brennan in “The Baby in

TUESDAY, JULY 8, ON FOX
THE MOMENT OF TRUTH is the game show that puts participants to
the test – the lie detector test – to reveal whether or not they are telling the
truth for a chance to win half a million dollars. Participants answer 21
increasingly personal questions honestly, as determined by a polygraph, to win
the money. Prior to playing, participants are strapped to a lie detector and
asked a series of questions by a polygraph expert, who records their answers. Of
course, the questions are easier when the stakes are low – but as the prize
amount increases, they will be challenged to fess up to matters they might
normally lie about. The touchier questions could be especially difficult because
participants reveal their answers in front of spouses, relatives and friends,
hanging on every word. Find out what deep dark secret will someone divulge for
hundreds of thousands of dollars

THIS SUMMER THE HOT SEAT GETS HOTTER
ON “THE MOMENT OF TRUTH”
TUESDAY, JULY 1, ON FOX
THE MOMENT OF TRUTH is the game show that
puts participants to the test – the lie detector test – to reveal whether or not
they are telling the truth for a chance to win half a million dollars.
Participants answer 21 increasingly personal questions honestly, as determined
by a polygraph, to win the money. Prior to playing, participants are strapped to
a lie detector and asked a series of questions by a polygraph expert, who
records their answers. Of course, the questions are easier when the stakes are
low – but as the prize amount increases, they will be challenged to fess up to
matters they might normally lie about. The touchier questions could be
especially difficult because participants reveal their answers in front of
spouses, relatives and friends, hanging on every word. Find out what deep, dark
secret someone will divulge for hundreds of thousands of dollars

Participants answer 21 increasingly personal questions honestly, as determined
by a polygraph, to win the money. Prior to playing, participants are strapped to
a lie detector and asked a series of questions by a polygraph expert, who
records their answers. Of course, the questions are easier when the stakes are
low – but as the prize amount increases, they will be challenged to fess up to
matters they might normally lie about. The touchier questions could be
especially difficult because participants reveal their answers in front of
spouses, relatives and friends, hanging on every word. What deep dark secret
will someone divulge for hundreds of thousands of dollars

participants are strapped to a lie detector and asked a series of questions by a
polygraph expert, who records their answers. Of course, the questions are easier
when the stakes are low – but as the prize amount increases, they will be
challenged to fess up to matters they might normally lie about. The touchier
questions could be especially difficult because participants reveal their

Participants answer 21 increasingly personal questions honestly, as determined
by a polygraph, to win the money. Prior to playing, participants are strapped to
a lie detector and asked a series of questions by a polygraph expert, who
records their answers. Of course, the questions are easier when the stakes are
low – but as the prize amount increases, they will be challenged to fess up to
matters they might normally lie about. The touchier questions could be
especially difficult because participants reveal their answers in front of
spouses, relatives and friends, hanging on every word. What deep dark secret

search of milk for Maggie in Mookington and ends up having his car towed by a
tow truck driver named Louie (Matt Dillon) who introduces Homer to the joy of

up to look like he’s towing in Louie’s territory, and Homer must suffer the
wrath. With Homer missing, the newly independent Maggie is spurred to action in

BRENNAN AND BOOTH INVESTIGATE THE UNTIMELY DEATH
OF A RISING COLLEGE BASKETBALL STAR
ON “BONES” MONDAY, APRIL 21, ON FOX
Brennan and Booth visit a college campus where human remains are found under the
bleachers of a basketball court. Although the body had been crushed beyond
recognition underneath the bleachers, a gold “#11” necklace identifies the
victim as RJ Manning, the star point guard of the school’s nationally ranked
basketball team. After reconstructing RJ’s skull, the team determines that he
was dead before the bleachers crushed him. Brennan and Booth navigate the world
of big-time collegiate basketball and interview multiple leads to find out who
could possibly have benefited from RJ’s demise. After investigating those with
the closest ties to RJ, including his faithful girlfriend, his future basketball
agent and his replacement on the school’s team, Brennan and Booth uncover
several different plausible motives for RJ’s murder. Later the team discovers
that RJ may have been caught up in a rather risqué situation at the time of his
death, and they wonder if more than one person could have been involved in his
murder. Meanwhile, Hodgins attempts to take his relationship with Angela to the
next level, but his courting methods prove to be far less tactful than his

HOUSE TREATS A NEWLY-CONVERTED HASIDIC JEWISH WOMAN
AFTER SHE COLLAPSES AT HER OWN WEDDING
ON "HOUSE" MONDAY, APRIL 21, ON FOX
House and the team encounter a woman admitted to Princeton-Plainsboro after she

condition. The woman’s husband insists that House treat his wife for her
illness, rather than for her past, but she continues to fall dangerously ill.
The team must run through all possible diagnoses without disturbing her newly
found religious beliefs before it is too late. Meanwhile, House is preoccupied

A 600-pound man, George Hagel, is admitted to the hospital after he is found in
his apartment in a coma. While they conduct the necessary tests, the team runs
into several obstacles due to the sheer mass of the patient, and while sedated
and undergoing an MRI, George suddenly awakes in a panic and struggles to get
free. Upon awakening, George decides that he is fine and requests a discharge.
Afraid that George’s problem is bigger than he believes, Cameron takes extreme
measures to stop him from leaving. George believes his problems are unrelated to
his weight and instructs the team to come up with other theories. Unconvinced by
George’s reasoning, House discovers the root of his illness during a physical
altercation. Meanwhile, House has spent the night in jail after being arrested
by Officer Michael Tritter for a number of violations, including resisting
arrest. Tritter, putting the squeeze on House, searches his home to find more
evidence of his drug abuse and puts House’s team on the spot when he questions
each of them about House and his relationship with Vicodin, and it becomes
evident that House may need to get a lawyer in the “Que Sera Sera” episode of

BRENNAN AND BOOTH RACE TO FIND AN ESCAPED SERIAL KILLER
BEFORE A MEMBER OF THE JEFFERSONIAN TEAM
BECOMES HIS LATEST VICTIM
ON “BONES” FRIDAY, APRIL 11, ON FOX
Brennan and Booth are called to the scene of a deadly fire at a D.C. prison to
investigate what they believe is the death of Brennan’s incarcerated adversary,
serial killer Howard Epps, whose body was found burned beyond recognition. But
Brennan’s examination leads to the chilling realization that the charred body is
not Epps’, but that of a D.C. fireman Epps killed in order to fake his own death
and escape from a maximum security prison amid the commotion of the fire. After
paying a visit to Epps’ former wife, Caroline, Brennan and Booth leave
empty-handed, but are concerned for Caroline’s safety with her ex-husband on the
loose. Their fears are quickly realized as they get concrete proof that Epps has
killed again. As Epps leads Brennan and Booth into a game of cat-and-mouse, it’s
clear he is targeting them and the people they’re close to, all the while giving
them clues they desperately try to decipher before Epps takes another victim.
While Cam conducts an autopsy on Epps’ latest victim, Booth implores her to
break protocol to save time and jump to a later step in the process. Against her
better judgment she does, but she is sprayed with a deadly poison and critically
injured. As Cam’s life hangs in the balance, Booth, Brennan and the rest of the
Jeffersonian team race to identify the deadly substance and determine Epps’
whereabouts before Cam becomes his latest victim in “The Man in the Cell”

HOUSE TRIES TO DECIPHER AN AUTISTIC BOY’S SIGNALS
IN ORDER TO DIAGNOSE WHAT IS CAUSING HIM TO SCREAM
ON "HOUSE" MONDAY, MARCH 24, ON FOX
House takes the case of Adam, a 10-year-old severely autistic boy who screams loudly for no apparent reason, at least not a reason his three previous doctors could diagnose. The team wonders why House is taking the case – the boy’s not sick; his symptoms seem to be a product of his autism. House claims he just wants a patient who can’t lie, but it seems he relates to this kid: the social aloofness, the obsession with detail, the lack of social graces. In fact, House actually envies him; living in a shell has its advantages. But when Cuddy makes a minor change to House’s office and House refuses to use the office until it’s returned to its original state, he finds himself wandering the hospital in need of a temporary home, crashing in Cuddy and Wilson’s offices. Meanwhile, teenager Ali from the previous episode still has a crush on House and is becoming a nuisance around the hospital. As Adam becomes more ill and the torturous diagnostic procedures yield nothing, House realizes he needs an answer, and his patient just might be the only one who can give him one. House finds he has to break through the very shell he admires in order to get anything out of the boy in the “Lines in the Sand” episode of HOUSE airing Monday, March 24 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT).

HOUSE AND TEAM ARE FACED WITH AN ETHICAL DILEMMA
WHEN
A PATIENT ASKS THEM TO HELP HIM END HIS LIFE
ON "HOUSE" FRIDAY, MARCH 21, ON FOX
Joel Grey Guest-Stars
The ketamine has worn off, which means House is back to using his cane and
doesn’t want to talk about it. His new patient is Ezra Powell (guest star Joel
Grey), a renowned pioneer in the field of medical research, who collapsed in his
lab. House puts Ezra through diagnostic rigors, but the team is unable to come
up with a conclusive diagnosis, and Ezra’s health continues to deteriorate.
Becoming increasingly debilitated, Ezra ultimately demands that the team stop
the litany of medical tests and help him end his life. The team members have
divergent opinions on the morality of helping Ezra die, especially since the
possibility of a cure is still in question. The moral dilemma of whether to
assist in his suicide and abide by Ezra’s wishes or to ignore what their patient
wants drives the team in very different directions. Meanwhile, the teenage
daughter of a clinic patient has developed a crush on Dr. House in the “Informed
Consent” episode of HOUSE airing Friday, March 21 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT).

HOUSE AND THE TEAM FIGHT TO SAVE A YOUNG BOY
WHO CLAIMS HE’S BEING EXPERIMENTED ON BY ALIENS,
WHILE CUDDY AND WILSON WITHHOLD THE TRUTH
ON "HOUSE" FRIDAY, MARCH 14, ON FOX
House’s ego has taken quite a blow because he failed to diagnose his last case,
and it’s affecting him physically. He is obviously in pain again, although he
continues to deny it. House’s new case is 7-year-old Clancy, a product of
in-vitro fertilization, who’s been admitted to the hospital with rectal bleeding
and proclamations of being tortured by aliens. Amidst all this weirdness, Cuddy
and Wilson decide it would be best not to tell House the truth about his last
case, thinking that perhaps he will learn some humility if he believes he’s not
always right. When House and the team discover cells with a different type of
DNA in Clancy’s body, they are forced to give Clancy’s claims a little more
credence, but a frustrated House gives up on his young patient, forcing Cuddy to
re-think her desire to hold back the truth she’s hiding in the “Cane & Able”
episode of HOUSE airing Friday, March 14 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT). (HOU-302)

Ted Danson and Fred Willard Make Guest-Voice Appearances
When Peggy needs a new car, Hank insists they buy from Tom Hammond (Ted Danson)
his go-to salesman for 25 years. With her heart set on a convertible, Peggy
begins the negotiation behind Hank’s back and gets the price down considerably.
Hank catches her and agrees to buy the convertible, provided he can make the
deal himself. Tom jacks the price back up to sticker and tells Hank he’s getting
a deal. When Peggy discovers how much Hank paid, she realizes he’s been swindled
on every car he’s ever bought. She tries to keep Hank from finding out, but he
does and becomes disillusioned and depressed. To exact justice, Hank places
flyers reading “Tom Hammond’s World of Lies!” on the cars in Tom’s lot early one
morning. He is joined by a group of radical college students, one of whom he met
in the copy shop the day before. As Hank drives away, the students blow up a
number of cars, and Hank is arrested because he was the only person on the
surveillance tapes, but Tom Hammond doesn’t press charges. He tells Officer
Brown (Fred Willard) that if Hank Hill looks you in the eye and says he didn’t
do something, he didn’t do it. The truth is Tom doesn’t believe Hank’s
innocence, but knows Hank would fight the charges, which would mean bad

Agent Finn knows her books inside and out, and, in typical fashion, Brennan
downplays a meeting with a Hollywood producer about making her latest book into
a movie. When Brennan and producer/director Penny Marshall meet face to face on
the set of an entertainment news show, Marshall is impressed and a little taken
aback by Brennan’s dedication to her latest case. Brennan’s skills are put to
the test as she discovers the victim’s identity is hidden by the fact that she’d

HOUSE IS BACK AT WORK AFTER RECOVERING
FROM MULTIPLE GUNSHOT WOUNDS
ON "HOUSE" FRIDAY, MARCH 7, ON FOX
Kathleen Quinlan Guest-Stars
House has recovered from multiple gunshot wounds and is back at work, taking on
two cases simultaneously: Richard, paralyzed after brain cancer surgery eight
years ago, who drove himself on his motorized wheelchair headfirst into a
swimming pool; and Caren, a young woman paralyzed from the neck down after a
yoga session. As House begins to diagnose and treat them, the team notices a
distinct change in his attitude toward the patients, and Cameron even catches
Richard’s wife thanking House for his sensitivity to her husband’s situation.
House suspects that Richard could possibly walk again, but he has no specific
medical proof to back up his hunch and the various treatment avenues he pursues
lead nowhere. Cameron and Foreman refuse to indulge House and his theories,
which they feel he’s pursuing merely to make the case interesting for himself.
Cuddy and Wilson also are convinced House is creating a mystery out of Richard’s
case to cure his own boredom, but he denies it and becomes more frustrated when
his theories do not point to a cure for Richard, forcing House to face an
unpleasant truth in the “Meaning” episode of HOUSE airing Friday, March 7

HOUSE AND THE TEAM TAKE ON
THE CASE OF A HURRICANE KATRINA VICTIM
AND CUDDY SEARCHES FOR A SPERM DONOR
ON "HOUSE" FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 29, ON FOX
D.B. Sweeney Guest-Stars
A 16-year-old female Hurricane Katrina victim suffering from hallucinations
about the tragedy is brought to House by his ex-bandmate Crandall (guest star
D.B. Sweeney) who tells House he recently found out she’s his daughter. House
takes the case despite feeling more pain than usual in his leg. He wants to run
a paternity test to make sure his friend is not being scammed, but Crandall
refuses. As the team treats the patient, House still has his suspicions, and
when her treatment requires a bone marrow transplant, Crandall offers himself
up, but must be tested to see if he’s a match (while still refusing the
paternity test). As House works his way through the girl’s lies to find clues to
diagnose and treat her, he is forced to tell some lies of his own. Meanwhile,
Cuddy asks House to review two medical files, and it doesn’t take long for him
to figure out that she’s looking for a sperm donor. But House takes the search a
step further and sets Cuddy up for a big surprise in the “Who’s Your Daddy?”

Ted Danson and Fred Willard Make Guest-Voice Appearances
When Peggy needs a new car, Hank insists they buy from Tom Hammond (Ted Danson)
his go-to salesman for 25 years. With her heart set on a convertible, Peggy
begins the negotiation behind Hank’s back and gets the price down considerably.
Hank catches her and agrees to buy the convertible, provided he can make the
deal himself. Tom jacks the price back up to sticker and tells Hank he’s getting
a deal. When Peggy discovers how much Hank paid, she realizes he’s been swindled
on every car he’s ever bought. She tries to keep Hank from finding out, but he
does and becomes disillusioned and depressed. When he confronts Tom on all the
years of lies, Tom says that he’s a salesman and it’s what he does. To exact
justice, Hank places flyers reading “Tom Hammond’s World of Lies!” on the cars
in Tom’s lot early one morning. He is joined by a group of radical college
students, one of whom he met in the copy shop the day before. As Hank drives
away, the students blow up a number of cars. Hank is arrested since he was the
only person on the surveillance tapes—the students dressed in black and crawled
on the ground—but Tom Hammond doesn’t press charges. He tells Officer Brown
(Fred Willard) that if Hank Hill looks you in the eye and says he didn’t do
something, he didn’t do it. The truth is Tom doesn’t believe Hank’s innocence,
but knows Hank would fight the charges, which would mean bad publicity for Tom’s

of becoming a musician and takes a job at his father’s laser tag warehouse to

decides he has had enough of Marge’s wandering eye. Homer instead focuses his
emotions on his music, inventing a new sound called “grunge.” As Marge
continues to date the pretentious professor, Homer becomes the hottest grunge
artist around, as evidenced by Weird Al’s parody of his music. But when Marge

When the Arlen City Council bans the sale of foods containing trans

begins to have second thoughts on his activism to repeal the ban. However,
before he can back out, a rival lunch truck (Rooster’s Roost) terrorizes the

Hank to stay on board with Sugarfoot’s until they can shut Rooster’s down.
With the help of a reporter, Hank puts his best investigative skills to the

A MOTHER WITH A MYSTERIOUS MEDICAL ILLNESS
MAY HAVE A SECRET THAT COULD KILL
ON “HOUSE” TUESDAY, JANUARY 29, ON FOX
Guest Star Janel Moloney in All-New Episode
House and the team treat a woman who suffers from a sudden paralysis of
the hands that causes an injury to her daughter while she’s spotting her at an
indoor rock-climbing wall. As House probes the woman and her injured daughter
for any leads as to what might be causing her condition, House is convinced
that the woman is withholding information. When the woman's daughter reveals
some very descriptive details about her mother's personal life, House isn't so
sure the woman hides anything about herself from the people around her,
especially her daughter. As the team runs tests to find out what caused her
paralysis, the woman loses her eyesight and her system begins to shut down,
and House and the team are baffled as to whether it is the woman herself, or
her own physiology that is lying to them. Meanwhile, House lets his team
participate in a Secret Santa gift exchange, but he puts his own twist on the

HOUSE AND THE TEAM RACE TO PREVENT A YOUNG BOY
FROM SUFFERING THE SAME FATE AS A FORMER PATIENT
WITH IDENTICAL SYMPTOMS WHO LOST HER LIFE
ON "HOUSE" FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1, ON FOX
It’s poker night at Princeton-Plainsboro when the hospital hosts an
oncology benefit. A 6-year-old boy is brought in exhibiting symptoms that
aren’t too unusual; however, when House learns of additional specifics, he
jumps on the case right away. He’s seen this set of unique symptoms before –
in a previous case when an elderly patient lost her life. House is convinced
the boy’s case is identical and that he can predict the course of the young
patient’s illness. Relying on Wilson to stall Cuddy at the poker table so she
stays out of his way on this one, House becomes increasingly frustrated and
desperate to stop the young boy’s illness from progressing – in order to
prevent him from suffering the same fate as the former patient in the “All In”

Following the Super Bowl
When Dr. Cate Milton (guest star Mira Sorvino), a psychiatrist trapped at the

of her assignment, she and Dr. House are thrust into a long-distance
relationship of sorts. Unable to get Cate out or any additional medical
supplies to the South Pole station, House and his team must resort to treating
her via webcam. House and his team walk the doctor through a series of
makeshift and painful diagnostic tests she must perform on herself. Cate
pushes back at House's every recommendation, and is unwilling to risk valuable
station medical supplies until he can provide valid proof for his diagnoses
each step of the way. While House and his team helplessly watch her condition
worsen, House's usually icy demeanor surprisingly softens as he searches for
ways to save her life. Meanwhile, House does some detective work of his own
and is surprised to learn who Wilson has been dating in the “Frozen” episode

When Cuddy puts the pressure on House to choose the final members of his team,
House deliberately assigns the candidates to a particularly challenging case –
an uncooperative, over-the-hill former punk rock star with a history of drug
abuse and civil disobedience. House informs the candidates their potential
future depends on correctly diagnosing the patient. As the candidates race to
find out if the patient is ailing due to drug abuse, an underlying disease or an

easier when the stakes are low, but as the prize amount increases, they will be
challenged to fess up to matters they might normally lie about. The touchier
questions could be especially difficult because participants reveal their
answers in front of spouses, relatives and friends, who are in the audience
hanging on every word. What deep dark secret will someone divulge for hundreds
of thousands of dollars? Find out on the series premiere of THE MOMENT OF TRUTH

Dr. Temperance Brennan is a highly skilled forensic anthropologist in

investigations when the standard methods of identifying a body are useless –
when the remains are badly decomposed, burned or destroyed beyond recognition.
Booth asks Brennan to help provide clues and information when skeletal remains
are found at the bottom of a lake. With her team of specialists at the
Jeffersonian Institute, Brennan determines the identity of the remains to be the
ex-aide of a Washington, D.C., congressman. A series of clues add up to murder,
and Brennan wants in on the case. Although skeptical of all scientists, or
“squints” as he calls them, Booth knows if he wants Brennan’s expertise on the
case, he’s going to have to give in to her demand to a partnership with him and
let her out of the lab. Brennan may have gotten more than she bargained for when

A water main bursts in the middle of the night at the historic St. Agatha’s
church cemetery, leaving the cemetery grounds littered with coffins and their
once-peaceful inhabitants, and Brennan is called in to identify and help
re-inter the remains. Father Matt, a newly installed priest, has informed
Brennan and Zack that the last burial in the cemetery took place over 50 years
ago, but Brennan finds a skull buried less than five years ago, leading them to
believe the body was buried to hide a murder. After meeting some opposition from
cantankerous head priest Father Donlan, Brennan and Zack deem the
once-consecrated ground a crime scene. They take the remains back to the
Jeffersonian, where Booth is offended by Brennan’s lack of respect for his or
anyone else’s religious beliefs, and the two struggle to find their rhythm,
which has been disrupted ever since Sully left. Booth insists Brennan come with
him to see his therapist, Dr. Wyatt (guest star Stephen Fry), in hopes that

Interrupting Brennan’s romantic vacation with Sully (guest star Eddie
McClintock) on his boat in the marina, Booth drags her to a crime scene on the
river where the shell of a woman’s body is found minus all of her bones. The
body poses an intriguing case for the team as they attempt to reconstruct the
women’s skeletal structure without the help of any bones. Eager to get back to
her vacation, Brennan quickly weighs in on the case, but in the absence of any
bones, does not feel she has a reason to be involved. Zach, Hodgins and Cam
attempt to construct a skeleton for the body, a task that proves to be both
difficult and gruesome. During the process Cam finds the sole remaining bone in
the deflated body, which is enough of a reason for Booth to barge back into
Brennan and Sully’s vacation and bring Brennan into the Jeffersonian once again.
Booth investigates an international mail-order bride agency as well as the
woman’s former fiancé, but the man quickly evades the investigation. When
further clues in the case point to a rare and ancient Asian custom that involves
burying the bones of an unmarried woman with those of an unmarried man as a sort
of afterlife wedding ceremony, Brennan and Booth realize they are in fact
looking for a murder suspect who may have killed the woman found in the river to
use her bones for the ceremony. Meanwhile, Sully propositions Brennan, forcing
her to make an important decision about their future together, a proposition
that surprises her and for which she’s definitely not prepared in “The Boneless

It’s Christmas at Princeton-Plainsboro and Wilson has a present for House – he
and Detective Tritter have struck a deal and House has three days to accept it.
Wilson will testify that he didn’t sign the prescriptions House used to
illegally obtain Vicodin, and House will receive two months in a rehab clinic
for pleading guilty, avoiding jail time. Even though the deal apparently would
make the whole nightmare go away, House is furious at Wilson, will not admit he
did anything wrong and immediately goes looking for Cuddy. Barging in on Cuddy
in an examining room, he meets her patient, Abigail, and Abigail’s mom, Maddy,
both dwarfs. Abigail has a number of symptoms and is recovering from a recently
collapsed lung, but Cuddy doesn’t recognize the gravity of her illness and House
takes on the case. As House and the team get to work, Cuddy finds out about the
deal offered to House, pulls him from the case, suspends his treatment
privileges and refuses to dole out any more Vicodin until he takes the deal. As
Abigail’s condition worsens, House begins to detox and the team tries
unsuccessfully to solve the case without him. When Abigail reaches a critical
point, Cuddy begs House for help one last time, but they play a game of chicken
to see who will flinch first as he holds out for his pain medication before
he’ll offer any more of his insights into the case. Cuddy is forced to make a
difficult and potentially life-threatening choice between her patient’s life and

House and Cuddy board a flight back to the United States from Singapore, where
they were speakers at an international conference. Shortly after takeoff, a
passenger seated next to House becomes violently ill. While House brushes it off
as a hangover, Cuddy suspects the man might have a deadly contagious virus and
the other passengers could be at risk. Assuming the worst, Cuddy suggests the
plane turn back and land, but House dissuades the flight attendant and the
flight continues on. As the man's condition worsens, the rest of the passengers
on the flight become increasingly uneasy, and so does House when a second
passenger falls ill with the exact same rash and debilitating symptoms. Back at
Princeton-Plainsboro, Wilson leads the team when they encounter Fran, a
middle-aged woman who collapsed at her home and soon goes into seizures. Cameron
and Chase investigate Fran's house to look for clues to a diagnosis, but they
are distracted by the prospect of an empty house and an inviting bed. When they
return empty-handed and Fran's health continues to decline, the team must focus
on finding out what is killing Fran without House's help. Back on the flight,
with First Class turned into a makeshift isolation area, House calls upon a
misfit team of passengers to fill in for his own team, as he bounces questions
and theories off of them. When Cuddy collapses and several more passengers fall
ill, the situation turns dire as the plane is hours away from any viable landing
place. Without the help of his team or even proper medical equipment, House
finds himself with Cuddy’s life and a plane-full of passengers’ lives in his

skeletal remains were placed at the dive site by a surprising culprit with a
selfish motivation. But when the suspect is found murdered, a new lead sends the
duo on the search for the owner of the dig shaft. Hodgins, excited to get

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, ON FOX
Booth and Brennan investigate the scene where a car was run off the road and the

muffled whimpering during the site investigation, they find the victim’s baby
miraculously perched in a tree above the scene of the crash. The team designates
Brennan as the infant’s caretaker, but when the baby swallows a key piece of

victim as a laborer who worked in a tire-recycling factory in a small,
impoverished town in Virginia, and Brennan and Booth venture out to investigate
who might have wanted her dead. Their suspicions range from her deadbeat husband
to the impecunious habitants of her town. Meanwhile, the team is fascinated by

CUDDY ORDERS HOUSE TO MAKE A FINAL DECISION ON HIS TEAM
ON “HOUSE”
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, ON FOX
When Cuddy puts the pressure on House to choose the final members of his team,
House deliberately assigns the candidates to a particularly challenging case –
an uncooperative, over-the-hill former punk rock star with a history of drug
abuse and civil disobedience. House informs the candidates their potential
future depends on correctly diagnosing the patient. As the candidates race to
find out if the patient is ailing due to drug abuse, an underlying disease or an
unknown condition, House keeps a running tally of their efforts, making a few
arbitrary point deductions along the way. Meanwhile, Wilson informs a former
patient whom he had previously diagnosed with terminal cancer that he is going
to live, and the news throws a wrench in the man's carpe-diem lifestyle in the

When a 20-year-old funeral home cosmetician, Irene, has a massive

candidates on some less-than-desirable investigative missions, one of which
involves a visit to a graveyard. As Irene’s symptoms become more

Feeling that Maggie is getting too clingy, Marge hires a counselor to teach
her the “C.R.I.E. Method,” a counseling program that helps parents raise their
children to be very independent at an early age. But the method works a little
too well, leaving Maggie with no need for Marge at all. Meanwhile, Homer goes
in search of milk for Maggie in Mookington and ends up having his car towed by
a tow truck driver named Louie (Matt Dillon) who introduces Homer to the joy
of towing cars for a living. Louie invites Homer to be the tow truck driver
for Springfield on one condition: that Homer stay off of Louie’s turf in
Mookington. When Homer gets a little too “tow happy,” the residents of
Springfield set Homer up to look like he’s towing in Louie’s territory, and
Homer must suffer the wrath. With Homer missing, the newly independent Maggie

PM ET/PT) CC-HDTV 720p-Dolby Digital 5.1
In the ‘90s, Chuck Darling (Kelsey Grammer) and Kelly Carr (Patricia Heaton)
had dominated the local TV news scene in Pittsburgh. While they had primetime
news chemistry on-screen, off-screen Chuck was a bit of a self-centered
womanizer, and Kelly a bit of an uptight know-it-all. When Chuck grabbed the
chance to move up to a larger market, no tears were shed. But after an
embarrassing on-air tirade ended up on the Internet, Chuck found himself on
the downswing career-wise. He even questioned whether his lifestyle of chasing
women and living in hotels was as exciting as it used to be. So when he gets
the call to return to Pittsburgh to reunite with Kelly and try to take the
newscast back to No. 1, it’s an offer he can’t refuse. Back in Pittsburgh,
Chuck must adapt to a new, chaotic newsroom. In addition to Kelly, he re-teams
with familiar faces including Marsh McGinley (Fred Willard), the affable,
endlessly inappropriate sports anchor, and Gary Crezyzewski (Ty Burrell), the
perennially put-upon field reporter who always seems to get left out in the
cold; and he has a few new coworkers: Ryan Church (Josh Gad), the
under-qualified, overstressed news director, and Montana Diaz Herrera (Ayda
Field), the perky, sexy, somewhat inept weather anchor. But perhaps the
biggest change is that Kelly is now single mom to 10-year-old Gracie (Laura
Marano). With ego aplenty, Chuck and his former partner Kelly once made
primetime news magic, but they wonder if they can make it happen again in the

Maggie goes on a path of destruction in the Simpsons’ home after Marge follows
advice in a parenting magazine and throws away her pacifier. Marge finally
gives in and sends Homer to get Maggie a new pacifier, but when he can’t find
the right brand, Maggie comes up with her own substitute – an especially
squeaky dog toy. Homer can’t sleep through the toy’s incessant squeaking and
is driven to take sleeping pills, which turn him into a sleepwalker with a
penchant for mischief. When one of Homer’s sleepwalking schemes leaves the
entire Springfield Fire Department debilitated in the hospital, Homer and some
of his fellow Springfieldians become volunteer firefighters. They extinguish
several fires and are rewarded with gifts, but when the gifts stop coming,
they seek other forms of compensation for their heroic acts in the “Crook and

BRENNAN AND BOOTH RACE TO FIND AN ESCAPED
SERIAL KILLER
BEFORE A MEMBER OF THE JEFFERSONIAN TEAM
BECOMES HIS LATEST VICTIM
ON “BONES” TUESDAY, AUGUST 28, ON FOX
Brennan and Booth are called to the scene of a deadly fire at a D.C. prison to
investigate what they believe is the death of Brennan’s incarcerated
adversary, serial killer Howard Epps, whose body was found burned beyond
recognition. But Brennan’s examination leads to the chilling realization that
the charred body is not Epps’, but that of a D.C. fireman Epps killed in order
to fake his own death and escape from a maximum security prison amid the
commotion of the fire. After paying a visit to Epps’ former wife, Caroline,
Brennan and Booth leave empty-handed, but are concerned for Caroline’s safety
with her ex-husband on the loose. Their fears are quickly realized as they get
concrete proof that Epps has killed again. As Epps leads Brennan and Booth
into a game of cat-and-mouse, it’s clear he is targeting them and the people
they’re close to, all the while giving them clues they desperately try to
decipher before Epps takes another victim. While Cam conducts an autopsy on
Epps’ latest victim, Booth implores her to break protocol to save time and
jump to a later step in the process. Against her better judgment she does, but
she is sprayed with a deadly poison and critically injured. As Cam’s life
hangs in the balance, Booth, Brennan and the rest of the Jeffersonian team
race to identify the deadly substance and determine Epps’ whereabouts before
Cam becomes his latest victim in “The Man in the Cell” episode of BONES airing

Wilson prepares his 14-year-old leukemia patient, Nick, for a last-resort bone
marrow transplant from his younger brother, Matty. With Nick's immune system
completely wiped out from chemotherapy, Wilson is extremely cautious about
keeping him healthy before the transplant. However, when Matty sneezes during
a pre-op visit to his brother, Wilson knows that Matty is not healthy enough
to donate. House and the team race to find out what is making Matty sick so
that they can treat him quickly and allow him to donate healthy, uninfected
bone marrow to his dying brother. With no other matching donors available, the
team knows that Matty is their best shot at saving Nick’s life. House decides
they must purposefully make Matty sicker and use his developing symptoms as a
method of narrowing the diagnosis field. As both brothers' conditions worsen
and Nick has only days to live, the team must diagnose and treat Matty before
it’s too late for both of them. Meanwhile, Foreman is haunted by his mistake
that killed a patient just one week earlier, and House wishes he could incur
similar misfortune upon his new pet and nemesis, Hector, in the “Family”

When a man’s body is found gutted, burned and hung up like a scarecrow on the
roof of the Federal Building, Booth and Brennan are called in to identify the
charred remains and determine who was behind the murder. Based on several
factors, Booth concludes the victim was a snitch working within an organized
crime syndicate. Brennan’s brother, Russ (guest star Loren Dean), receives a
mysterious call from their long-lost father, warning him they are in danger,
and Brennan is contacted by a priest (guest star Ryan O’Neal), who delivers a
message from her father insisting she and Booth drop the case. Brennan and
Booth determine the murdered victim was ex-FBI agent Garrett Delaney, who was
tracking Russ and planning to kill him, giving more credence to the warning.

Brennan make a shocking discovery as to who was behind Delaney’s murder, and
Booth is forced to make one of the most important decisions of his career,

in the middle of playing a piano concert when he suffers a painful involuntary
muscle contraction in his left hand. After Patrick is admitted to
Princeton-Plainsboro Hospital with a rare movement disorder, his case attracts
the attention of Dr. House. House learns from Patrick’s father, Dr. Obyedkov
(guest star Kurtwood Smith), that Patrick suffered severe brain damage at age
10 from a bus accident that also killed his mother. House is intrigued as to
why Patrick, who was a healthy 10-year-old at the time of his accident with no
prior musical training, could suddenly play the piano flawlessly after
suffering a severe injury. He pushes for further testing on Patrick’s brain
even though the team has diagnosed him with a simple muscle-contraction
problem. While trying to deduce the origin of the brain rewiring responsible
for Patrick’s mysterious gift of music, House and his team must stop the
deadly bleeding that is quickly threatening his life. Patrick’s condition
worsens as he suffers an onset of seizures, and as the team attempts to
stabilize him, House presents a very difficult option to Patrick’s father – a

With only five chefs remaining in the competition, Chef Ramsay combines them
into one team and they celebrate their survival thus far in HELL’S KITCHEN.
Chef Ramsay tells the contestants that their next challenge will involve
competing head-to-head with individual dishes to impress some very special
trendsetters. The contestants are blindfolded and escorted off-site, only to
find that the judges-of-honor are 100 hungry and very opinionated high school
students. One chef handily wins the votes of the hungry high-schoolers and is
rewarded with a special trip with Chef Ramsay and a contestant of their
choosing to the Green Valley Ranch resort in Las Vegas, where they meet up
with a familiar face. Back in HELL’S KITCHEN, the contestants prepare the
restaurant for the upcoming dinner service. That evening, the job goes
anything but smoothly as two contestants engage in a heated power struggle.
After one too many mistakes, Chef Ramsay loses his patience, and in a fit of
rage sends one contestant packing in the middle of dinner service. Then, at a
very emotional elimination that evening, Chef Ramsay makes a heartfelt offer
to a deserving contestant as “5 Chefs Compete” on HELL’S KITCHEN encoring

classic American dish and transform it into an entrée worthy of fine-dining,
noting that special guests of honor will be judging their creations. In one of
the most emotional reunions yet, the contestants learn that the greatest
home-cooking experts they know – their very own mothers – have come to HELL’S
KITCHEN to vote for their favorite entrée. Not knowing who made what, the
mothers select a winner, who is treated to a memorable meal. That evening in a
critical dinner service, Chef Ramsay informs the chefs that each of them will
have a shot at running the kitchen in his place, so that he can separate the
cooks from the leaders. To ensure that the chefs have a discerning eye and a
desire for perfection not unlike his own, Chef Ramsay enlists the helps of the
sous chefs to throw some wrenches into the preparations. While some
contestants catch the mistakes before the sabotaged plates are served to the
diners, others struggle to handle the hot plate. In one of the most difficult
eliminations yet, Chef Ramsay chooses two finalists who will go on to compete
for the Head Chef position in Las Vegas as “3 Chefs Compete” on HELL’S KITCHEN

It’s Valentine’s Day at Princeton-Plainsboro and the ER is short-staffed due
to a snowstorm. House encounters Foreman’s latest patient, Hannah, who has
sustained injuries from a car accident with her mother, Abby. House notices
that despite her best efforts to act injured, Hannah is not feeling a bit of
pain. House determines that Hannah has an incredibly rare condition that makes
her completely insensitive to pain, and he takes a special interest in her
case. He orders further testing to see if Hannah has any serious injuries from
the car accident that she may not be able to feel, including an unnecessary
procedure that causes Cuddy and Wilson to question his motives. Meanwhile,
Abby undergoes surgery for her own injuries sustained in the car accident.
Hannah refuses further examination and demands to see her mother, but House
has little sympathy. She and House argue about which of their lives is worse,
Hannah who is impervious to pain or House who suffers from pain constantly.
When Hannah passes out and her temperature spikes, the doctors realize that
Hannah is much sicker than they had thought. The team takes drastic measures
in an attempt to inflict pain on Hannah to measure her pain threshold, but her
condition only worsens. House adamantly pushes for a spinal nerve biopsy that
could leave her paralyzed, a risky procedure in which few see the benefit,
especially Cuddy and Wilson, who accuse House of pushing the test to get
information that may benefit his own pain management. As Hannah’s body
deteriorates without her so much as flinching, House works through his own
chronic pain to find out why this young woman cannot feel any pain at all in
the “Insensitive” episode of HOUSE airing Tuesday, July 31 (9:00-10:00 PM

16-year-old Stevie Lipa is admitted to Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital
with a serious respiratory condition and internal bleeding. Oddities of his
case land him under House and the team’s care, but at the moment, House is
irritated to learn that new hospital researcher Dr. Julie Whitmer has been
assigned his handicapped parking spot by the hospital entrance. Since she’s in
a motorized wheelchair (and he has to walk), he asks her to give up the
parking spot, but she refuses. House, determined to get a parking spot closer
to the hospital entrance, appeals to Cuddy, who dares him to prove how much he
wants the spot by spending one week in a wheelchair – a bet House takes on. As
the team tries to get personal history information from Stevie, they can’t
seem to get a straight answer out of him, and it’s revealed he’s from a family
of gypsies. Stevie’s parents arrive with homeopathic remedies; they won’t
consent to House and the team’s suggested course of action, and refuse all
modern medical treatment. As Stevie’s body continues to bleed internally,
Foreman makes the risky decision to sidestep Stevie’s parents and appeals

--“HELL’S
KITCHEN”—(Encore)—7 Chefs Compete (Again)—(8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) CC
PA: Viewer discretion is advised.
After barely surviving dinner service the previous night, the remaining seven
contestants are faced with their next challenge: lobster. Chef Ramsay has given
Melissa a new lease on life as a member of the blue team, but the boys may not
consider her a welcome addition. Chef Ramsay challenges each team to prepare
three appetizing and creative lobster dishes in one hour, noting that they will
have to do the dirty work of picking the lobsters from their tanks and killing
them. While some contestants jump at the chance, others are wary of killing
their crustacean friends. In a very close decision, Chef Ramsay chooses the
winning team to accompany him on a glamorous reward, while the losing team is
stuck back at HELL’S KITCHEN with a decidedly less-than-glamorous task. That
night at dinner service, the teams go head-to-head to prepare the winning
lobster recipes for the customers. When one team has its worst dinner service of
the competition thus far, an exasperated Chef Ramsay forces them to decide as a
team who will go to the chopping block as

After a decisive dinner service and a swift elimination the night before, the
remaining six contestants prepare for their next challenge. Chef Ramsay informs
them they must turn trays full of leftovers into delectable meals in just 30
minutes, a challenge he always gives his chefs to test their resourcefulness and
creativity. It’s a mad dash as each team sifts through the leftover ingredients
in order to come up with one appetizer and two entrees tasty enough to impress
Chef Ramsay. While one team fails to “wow” him, the winning team is elated at
the challenge reward when they are given the ultimate chance for revenge on Chef
Ramsay. At dinner service that evening, the competition gets serious as each
team designs and executes its own original menu. When the HELL’S KITCHEN diners
seem to be ordering mainly from one team’s menu, lack of teamwork and poor
communication may signal the end of one contestant’s dream as “6 Chefs Compete”

House has beaten the drug charges and is back at the hospital after a short
stint in rehab. Cuddy comes to collect on House’s debt for perjuring herself on
the stand and keeping him out of jail. She forces House to pay off the debt in
clinic hours, requiring him to carry out a series of less-than-desirable patient
exams in the clinic. Tired of House’s incessant whining about his disdain for
the patients, Cuddy turns his clinic duty into a game, with the stakes raised to
a level that speaks to House – money. At the clinic, House encounters patient
Eve, who has tested positive for an STD and admits she’s very recently been
raped. Knowing he can’t do anything more for Eve medically, House refers her to
a psychiatrist, but she refuses to talk to the doctor and will only be treated
by House. He repeatedly tries to dismiss himself from her case, but finds
himself forced to unravel a very different puzzle than the sort he’s used to –
and compelled to come to terms with events in his own life in order to help Eve
make sense of her own. Meanwhile, at the clinic Cameron encounters a homeless

When the headless body of a young man, along with a video camera full of
documentary footage, is discovered in the D.C.-area woods, Brennan and Booth are
called in to identify the year-old remains and determine if a murder was
committed. The body is proven to be that of University of Virginia film student
Graham Hastings, who had disappeared a year before while making a documentary
about the local legend of a woman thought to be a witch who beheaded anyone who
dared to look for her. In a mysteriously parallel set of circumstances, Brennan
and the team find that Graham was beheaded by an axe. After examining the dark,
chaotic and choppy footage from Graham’s camera, Brennan and Booth learn that
two other people – Graham’s girlfriend Lori and fellow classmate Brian – were in
the woods with Graham on the night of his disappearance. DNA on the axe used to
murder Graham leads a shocking revelation of the killer’s identity. Meanwhile,

After barely surviving dinner service the previous night, the remaining seven
contestants are faced with their next challenge: lobster. Chef Ramsay has given
Melissa a new lease on life as a member of the blue team, but the boys may not
consider her a welcome addition. Chef Ramsay challenges each team to prepare
three appetizing and creative lobster dishes in one hour, noting that they will
have to do the dirty work of picking the lobsters from their tanks and killing
them. While some contestants jump at the chance, others are wary of killing
their crustacean friends. In a very close decision, Chef Ramsay chooses the
winning team to accompany him on a glamorous reward, while the losing team is
stuck back at HELL’S KITCHEN with a decidedly less-than-glamorous task. That
night at dinner service, the teams go head-to-head to prepare the winning
lobster recipes for the customers. When one team has its worst dinner service of
the competition thus far, an exasperated Chef Ramsay forces them to decide as a
team who will go to the chopping block as “7 Chefs Compete (Again)” on HELL’S

Cuban couple Esteban and his sick wife, Marina Hernandez, are pulled from the
ocean during a dangerous rescue at sea while en route to the U.S. on a mission
to reach Dr. House. Marina’s medical records from Cuba were lost in the
shipwreck, so the team runs a series of tests to determine the extent of her
illness. When Marina’s heart stops during a routine cardiac catheterization, the
diagnostic mystery deepens. House debates with the team whether it was human
error or a still-to-be-determined illness that caused Marina to flat-line, and
the team fights to keep Marina alive on a bypass machine long enough for her
husband to say goodbye, knowing that nothing short of a miracle can save her.
Meanwhile, Foreman prepares for his last day of work at Princeton-Plainsboro,
and Chase accuses House of trying to win Foreman over in order to dissuade him
from leaving, prompting House to make a very rash decision that affects the

New York (Thursday, May 17, 2007) – Peter Liguori, President, Entertainment, Fox
Broadcasting Company, today unveiled the FOX primetime schedule for the
2007-2008 television season.
“This is the most stable and most vibrant schedule ever presented by FOX – one
that is sure to help us secure our fourth consecutive season as the No. 1
network in key demos,” Liguori said. “We’ll have a balanced schedule across the
week, and we expect a significantly stronger fourth quarter. And in early 2008,
24 and AMERICAN IDOL, along with unprecedented sporting events in primetime –
including the Super Bowl on Feb. 3 – will allow us to launch additional series
and position ourselves for another dominant season.”
Liguori went on to say: “We’ll have returning shows on six nights in the fall
and every night of the week come January. We’re introducing new series that are
distinctive, compelling, and which have impressive auspices. New series will be
paired with returning hits to create a balanced, competitive, solid schedule.”

creator Amy Sherman-Palladino. And a spring launch is planned for THE RULES FOR

2007-2008 FOX PRIMETIME SCHEDULE
NEW SERIES SYNOPSES
The following new dramas will premiere this fall on FOX:
K-VILLE (Mondays, 9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT): From writer and executive producer
Jonathan Lisco (“NYPD Blue,” “The District”) comes a heroic police drama set in
New Orleans. Two years after Katrina, the city is still in chaos. Many cops have
quit, and the jails, police stations and crime labs still haven’t been properly
rebuilt. But the cops who remain have courage to burn and a passion to reclaim
and rebuild their city. MARLIN BOULET (Anthony Anderson, “The Departed,” “The
Shield”) is a brash, funny, in-your-face veteran of the NOPD’s Felony Action
Squad, the specialized unit that targets the most-wanted criminals. Even when
his partner deserted him during the storm, Boulet held his post, spending days
in the water saving lives and keeping order. Now he’s unapologetic about bending
the rules when it comes to collaring bad guys. Boulet’s new partner, TREVOR COBB
(Cole Hauser, “The Break-Up,” “ER”), was a soldier in Afghanistan before joining
the NOPD. He’s tough and committed, but if he’s less than comfortable with
Boulet’s methods, it’s because he’s harboring a dark secret. Cobb has come to
New Orleans seeking redemption, but redemption can be dangerous. Will Boulet be
able to trust him? Will Cobb’s past endanger them both? Rounding out the crew of
cops are hotheaded BILLY “K-9” FAUST (Maximiliano Hernández, “Law & Order,”
“Shark”), who often speaks before thinking; wisecracking JEFF “GLUE BOY” GOODEN
(Blake Shields, “Sleeper Cell,” “Veronica Mars”), the team’s comic relief;
tough-as-nails GINGER “LOVE TAP” LeBEAU (Tawny Cypress, “Heroes”), the only
female on the squad, who gives as good as she gets; and CAPTAIN JAMES EMBRY
(John Carroll Lynch, “Zodiac,” “The Drew Carey Show”), who wrangles the eclectic
personalities of his squad with equal parts humor and tenacity.
PRODUCTION COMPANY: 20th Century Fox Television
EXECUTIVE PRODUCER/WRITER: Jonathan Lisco
DIRECTOR: Deran Sarafian
CAST: Anthony Anderson as Marlin Boulet, Cole Hauser as Trevor Cobb, Maximiliano
Hernández as Billy “K-9” Faust, Blake Shields as Jeff “Glue Boy” Gooden, Tawny
Cypress as Ginger “Love Tap” LeBeau, John Carroll Lynch as Captain James Embry
NEW AMSTERDAM (Wednesdays, 9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT): Directed and executive-produced
by visionary Lasse Hallström (“My Life As a Dog,” “The Cider House Rules,” “Chocolat,”
“The Hoax”) and written by Allan Loeb (“Things We Lost in the Fire,” “21”) and
Christian Taylor (“Showboy,” “Six Feet Under”), NEW AMSTERDAM is the story of a
New York homicide detective unlike any other. He is brilliant, mysterious,
reckless, magnetic, unknowable. And he has a profound secret – he is immortal.
In 1642, JOHN AMSTERDAM (Nikolaj Coster Waldau, “Kingdom of Heaven”), then a
Dutch solider in the colony of New Amsterdam – later to become New York City –
stepped in front of a sword to save the life of a Native Indian girl during a
massacre of her indigenous tribe. The girl in turn rescued Amsterdam, weaving an
ancient spell that conferred immortality upon him. Amsterdam will not age, she
told him, until he finds his one true love. Only then will he become whole and
ready for mortality. But Amsterdam has found this to be a mixed blessing. Over
the course of three centuries, he’s experienced endless adventure and honed his
many talents. But everyone Amsterdam meets must leave him in time; lovers and
children die while he remains young. His sole confidant and current lifelong
friend is the sage jazz club owner OMAR (Stephen Henderson, “Law & Order: SVU”),
the keeper of Amsterdam’s secret, as well as a few of his own.

2007-2008 FOX SEASON – Page 7
As the exhilaration of eternal life has given way to emotional isolation and
bitter loneliness, Amsterdam discovers the blessing has become a curse. Bringing
to bear the unorthodox techniques and unique knowledge gained from his vast life
experience, Amsterdam today is one of the NYPD’s best homicide detectives,
sparring with his vibrant, strong-willed partner EVA MARQUEZ (Zuleikha Robinson,
“Rome,” “The Lone Gunmen”) as they solve difficult murder cases. But when
Amsterdam suffers and then recovers from what appears to be a massive heart
attack while chasing a suspect, and DR. SARA DILLANE (Alexie Gilmore, “Find
Love”) pronounces him dead in the ER, he realizes that the Indian girl’s
prophesy may have come true – he felt the pain in his heart that she had
foretold so long ago. His soul mate must have been nearby. As he works to find a
killer on the streets of New York, Amsterdam understands that his own life – and
possibly his death – have changed forever.

The new comedy premiering this fall on FOX is:
BACK TO YOU (Tuesdays, 8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT): In the ‘90s, the local TV news scene
in Pittsburgh was dominated by one team: CHUCK DARLING (Kelsey Grammer,
“Frasier,” “Cheers”) and KELLY CARR (Patricia Heaton, “Everybody Loves
Raymond”). They had that elusive quality all news teams need: chemistry ... at
least on-screen. Off-screen, Chuck was a bit of a self-centered womanizer, Kelly
a bit of an uptight know-it-all. So when Chuck got the call to move up to a
larger market, no tears were shed. But after an embarrassing on-air tirade ended
up on the Internet, Chuck found himself on the downswing career-wise. He even
questioned whether his lifestyle of chasing women and living in hotels was as
exciting as it used to be. So when he got the call to return to Pittsburgh, to
reunite with Kelly and try to take the newscast back to No. 1, it was an offer
he couldn’t refuse. Back in Pittsburgh, Chuck has a new coworker in RYAN CHURCH
(Josh Gad, “Mary and Joe”), the overstressed news director. There are also
familiar faces like MARSH McGINLEY (Fred Willard, “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron
Burgundy,” “Best in Show”), the affable, endlessly inappropriate sports anchor,
and GARY CREZYZEWSKI, pronounced Kre-shoov-ski (Ty Burrell, “In Good Company,”
“Out of Practice”), the perennially put-upon field reporter who always seems to
get left out in the snow. But, mostly, there’s Kelly, now a single mom to
10-year-old GRACIE (Laura Marano, “Without a Trace”). There was magic between
them once. Can they find it again?
PRODUCTION COMPANIES: 20th Century Fox Television, Levitan/Lloyd Productions
EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS/CREATORS: Steven Levitan, Christopher Lloyd
DIRECTOR: James Burrows
CAST: Kelsey Grammer as Chuck, Patricia Heaton as Kelly, Fred Willard as Marsh,
Josh Gad as Ryan, Ty Burrell as Gary, Laura Marano as Gracie

New unscripted series joining the FOX schedule this fall include:
KITCHEN NIGHTMARES (Thursdays, 9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT): Hell hath no fury like an
angry chef, and no chef has a sharper temper than Gordon Ramsay when things go
wrong in the kitchen. The star of the highly rated culinary boot camp “Hell’s
Kitchen” returns to FOX with another sizzling unscripted series. This time, Chef
Ramsay hits the road in each episode, tackling a restaurant in crisis and
exposing the stressful realities of trying to run a successful food business.
Inspired by one of the UK’s biggest hits, KITCHEN NIGHTMARES is seen in more
than 50 territories around the globe, and the series reveals a whole new side to
Ramsay. He’s still prone to the explosive outbursts and spectacular
confrontations familiar to fans of “Hell’s Kitchen,” but he also shows his
sensitive and nurturing side – a unique blend of fury, passion, inspirational
leadership and tough love that can coax a small spark of talent into a roaring
flame. There’s no time for polite small talk as Ramsay embarks on his mission to
turn things around. If the wine waiter’s service isn’t up to par, he’ll be out
the door before he can say “merlot.” If the head chef doesn’t match up to
Ramsay’s expectations, Ramsay will hammer him into shape, and if he can’t stand
the heat, he may quit the kitchen. Ramsay’s reputation is on the line, so
there’s bound to be high blood pressure, raised voices and serious clashes as he
attempts to do the impossible: turn a deserted dining room into the most
sought-after venue in town in just a week.

The following new dramas are slated for January launches:
CANTERBURY’S LAW (Thursdays, 9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT): From executive producers
Denis Leary and Jim Serpico (“Rescue Me,” “The Job”) and writer Dave Erickson
(“Murder in Greenwich”) comes CANTERBURY’S LAW, a courtroom drama about a
rebellious female defense attorney who’s willing to bend the law in order to
protect the wrongfully accused. ELIZABETH CANTERBURY (Julianna Margulies, “ER”)
is a force of nature. An attorney on the rise, she puts her career on the line
to take on risky and unpopular cases, even when they take a toll on her personal
life. Elizabeth and her law professor husband MATTHEW CANTERBURY (Linus Roache,
“Batman Begins,” “The Chronicles of Riddick”), haunted by the disappearance of
their young son, have settled in Providence, Rhode Island, in an attempt to
distance themselves from the tragedy and put their relationship back together.
But those goals become elusive whenever Elizabeth’s work provides a stark
reminder of the justice absent in their own lives. At the office, Canterbury has
surrounded herself with a brilliant but motley crew of attorneys. RUSSELL CROSS
(Ben Shenkman, “Pi,” “Angels in America”) was forced out of the Providence
District Attorney’s Office when he went toe-to-toe with his morally bankrupt
boss, D.A. Zach Williams. His reputation tarnished, Russell turned to
Canterbury, the only attorney willing to take him in. Now Russell provides a
much-needed voice of reason for Canterbury even when she doesn’t want to hear
it, his position of influence well-earned by their years of friendship. CHESTER
FIELDS (Jocko Sims, “Dreamgirls,” “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation”) and MOLLY
McCONNELL (Trieste Dunn, “United 93”) are the associates rounding out
Canterbury’s legal crew. Chester is a blue-blooded congressman’s son who is
embarrassed by his privileged upbringing and has turned his back on politics.
Molly, in contrast, is headstrong, passionate and quick to take sides – even if
she finds herself in the opposite corner from Canterbury.

THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES (Sundays, 9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT): Executive producers
Josh Friedman (“War of the Worlds”), David Nutter (“Supernatural,” “Smallville”)
and C-2 Pictures (“Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines”) bring to television an
intense new drama based on the celebrated heroine of the “Terminator” movies:
Sarah Connor. At the end of “Terminator 2: Judgment Day,” Sarah vanquished the
liquid metal Terminator sent from the future to kill her teenage son, John.
Sarah and John now find themselves alone in a very dangerous, complicated world.
Fugitives from the law, they are confronted with the reality that still more
enemies from the future, and the present, could attack at any moment. THE SARAH
CONNOR CHRONICLES reveals what happens when SARAH (Lena Headey, “The Brothers
Grimm,” “300”) stops running and goes on the offensive against an ever-evolving
technological enemy bent on destroying her life, and perhaps the world. Her son,
15-year-old JOHN CONNOR (Thomas Dekker, “Heroes”), knows that he may be the
future savior of mankind, but is not yet ready to take on the mantle of
leadership that he’s told is his destiny. John finds himself inextricably drawn
to CAMERON (Summer Glau, “Serenity,” “The Unit”), an enigmatic and otherworldly
student at his high school, who soon proves to be much more than his confidante
– she assumes the role of Sarah and John’s fearless protector. On their trail
are not only threats from the future, but an intelligent and tough FBI agent,
JAMES ELLISON (Richard T. Jones, “Judging Amy”), who soon becomes a powerful
ally.

The new comedy scheduled to premiere in January is:
THE RETURN OF JEZEBEL JAMES (working title) (Wednesdays, 8:30-9:00 PM ET/PT):
Can two estranged sisters, polar opposites, live together when one agrees to
carry the other’s baby? SARAH THOMKINS (Parker Posey, “For Your Consideration,”
“Best in Show”) is a bright, optimistic, determined woman who seems to have it
all – a great job as a children’s book editor, an eager-to-please assistant,
BUDDY (Michael Arden), who helps keep her life together, and a
no-strings-attached personal relationship with successful businessman MARCUS
SONTI (Scott Cohen, “Kissing Jessica Stein”). Nevertheless, as her father,
RONALD (Ron McLarty, “Law & Order”), is constantly pointing out, something is
missing from Sarah’s life. Her hard work may garner accolades, but when she goes
home at night, she is very much alone. All too aware that she isn’t getting any
younger, Sarah decides to have a baby on her own and gets the shock of her life
when the doctor tells her she can’t get pregnant. Having no concept of the term
“can’t,” Sarah wills herself to execute a plan. With nowhere else to turn, Sarah
sets up a meeting with her quirky younger sister, COCO (Lauren Ambrose, “Six
Feet Under”), and proposes a plan for Coco to carry her baby. They haven’t seen
each other in a while, and Coco refuses to go along with such a huge favor. But
something happens when Sarah mentions that she’s turned Coco’s imaginary
childhood friend, Jezebel James, into a children’s book. Even though she doesn’t
say so out loud, Coco is clearly touched, and, realizing that her current living
situation – sharing a couch with her friend’s sick dog – isn’t working out, Coco
decides that this just might be worth a try.

The comedy slated for a spring debut is:
THE RULES FOR STARTING OVER (working title) (Date and Time TBA): From the
creatively fruitful minds of the Farrelly Brothers comes a single camera comedy,
set in Boston, about a group of newly single friends learning the painful
lessons of starting over in their 30s. They’d all love to get remarried, if they
could just find their true loves. JACK “GATOR” GATELY (Craig Bierko, “Cinderella
Man,” “Boston Legal”) is a charismatic, optimistic leader who never expected to
be single again. But now that he is, he’s determined to make the best of it.
He’s going to sift through all the bruised, damaged, occasionally psychotic
fruit until he finds “the one.” Joining Gator in bachelorhood redux is his
thrice-divorced best friend TOMMY (Johnny Sneed, “The Guardian,” “Fever Pitch”).
The founder and brewmaster of an upstart microbrewery, Tommy has a voracious
appetite for food, beer and women. He falls in love easily and always
disastrously, yet truly hopes his fourth starter marriage will be “the one.” DR.
FREDDY SAHGAL (Shaun Majumder, “24,” “Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle”) has
seen some pretty strange stuff during his years as a successful surgeon, but
he’s never seen any of it through the eyes of a single man. Probably the least
equipped of the group to handle this unexpected life change is Dr. Freddy, who
can execute a triple bypass in his sleep, but is all thumbs when it comes to the
opposite sex. Rounding out the group is KATE (Rashida Jones, “The Office”), a
smart, successful attorney who handled all three of the boys’ divorces. Having
just turned 30, Kate finds herself dumped after a seven-year engagement. She
reluctantly joins the guys in negotiating the treacherous waters of dating. Kate
owns the brownstone next to Gator’s. Over time, this pair may find that “the
one” is just a brick wall away.

The new unscripted series scheduled to premiere this summer is:
ANCHORWOMAN (Date and Time TBA): PHIL HURLEY is the owner of a tiny Texas news
station, KYTX Channel 19, and he is desperate to turn the tide of his mediocre
ratings, or even just compete with a rival channel. Phil has shocked the station
and town of Tyler, Texas, by bringing in a gorgeous model and ex-WWE diva with
no previous news experience to be his next ANCHORWOMAN – all in hopes of
reinventing the look of Channel 19 and overhauling its below-average 6 share to
a number more like his competitor’s dominating 36. Former Miss New York and über-vixen
LAUREN JONES packs up her Versace dresses and heads to the middle of nowhere to
start a new career. Can this bombshell cut it as a serious reporter? Will she
save KYTX, or make it the laughingstock of the Lone Star State? Lauren wants to
show everyone she’s no airhead, and this is her big chance to prove she’s more
than just a pretty face. The entire newsroom thinks the boss has made a giant
mistake. Reigning anchor ANNALISA PETRAGLIA is not about to lose her Queen Bee
status to some L.A. hottie. News Director DAN DELGADO is fit to be tied as his
beloved journalistic standards go out the window. MICHELLE REESE, a hard-nosed
reporter bound for CNN, will take no prisoners. Lauren will struggle not only
with the news team and an unfamiliar town, but also with the not-so-Hollywood
news stories – covering bake sales, cowpie-tossing contests and county fairs
like they were Watergate. News anchor or dead weight? Only the ratings will
tell, so stay tuned for the next ANCHORWOMAN: Lauren Jones.

shoot and has been missing for several days. The skull is sent to the lab, where
Zack and Hodgins confirm that the victim died of a gunshot wound, had traces of
peyote in his hair, and, sadly, is Kirk. Booth thinks the murder is
drug-related, but the investigation leads them to a counterfeiting ring in the
middle of the desert in “The Skull in the Desert” episode of BONES airing
