Coming off a very strong year, Fox is looking to the fall with only three new series premiering (excluding The Good Guys, which has already premiered and will run through the summer.)

Two bubble shows that were iffy to return, Lie to Me and Human Target have been been renewed.  Human Target was thrown to the graveyard that is Fox Friday, meanwhile Lie to Me which finishes its second season beginning in June and running clear through the summer will essentially air straight through into the fall without a break.  I’m personally questioning whether or not the returns of both Lie to Me and Human Target have anything to do with a strong show of faith in both shows, or rather a lack of faith in their development season.  With Human Target they at least have an established following that the network hopes will follow it to Friday where it will inevitably improve over year-ago Brothers, ‘Til Death, and Dollhouse.  That old PBS guy teaching you to paint could draw better ratings than those shows.  I say that with some sorrow, as I really did enjoy Dollhouse.  Thank you anyway, Fox, for allowing that one to have a true sendoff.  How many shows can actually say that?

With that, here is the Fox schedule, as you’ll be seeing it in September.
