The new shows scheduled on Fox have some big shoes to fill, and bigger names to live up to. In the wake of 24 and alongside giants and standouts like American Idol, The Simpsons and Glee, eight newcomers will be testing their sea legs in Fox's choppy network waters.
Lonestar - Monday, 9pm
It's Dallas with con men, but hopefully not the "it was all a dream" plotline. A handsome swindler decides he wants to actually start living the life he's been pretending to lead, which includes a rich wife and a hot girlfriend. As Jon Voight is the patriarch of the family he's conning, we can't imagine this will end well.
Raising Hope - Tuesday, 9pm
A clueless slack-jawed slacker somehow acquires a baby and decides to keep her. He turns to his dysfunctional family (including mom Martha Plimpton, dad Garret Dillahunt and grandma Cloris Leachman) to help bring up baby. Lesson number one: It's never acceptable to puke on your child, no matter how noxious a diaper she presents.
Running Wilde - Tuesday, 9:30pm
Starring Will Arnett and Kerri Russell, this comedy follows the wealthy, romantically backwards, moderately clueless manchild as he tries to woo his first love, who is now a social crusader, the only way he knows how: With money. Frankly, the money isn't really necessary. You had us at "Arnett."
The Good Guys - Friday, 9pm
We've definitely seen the washed-up, floundering cop with a smart-alecky, younger side-kick before. But this washed-up cop has a mustache Oh wait, we've seen that too. Okay, this cop is Bradley Whitford. Now we've got something. Plus, the clip of Colin Hanks emptying his guns at near point-blank range and still not hitting the bad guy makes us giggle in an unseemly fashion. And, lest we forget: Mustache!
Ride Along: Midseason Monday, 9pm
The makers of The Shield transplant the gritty cop drama to Chicago. Expect gang wars, political corruption, bloody death, crooked aldermen, inappropriate romance, an Irish detective with a tasty accent and Jennifer Beals as the top cop trying to keep the city under control. "Chicago is family. You love it, sometimes you fight with it, but first and foremost, you protect it." And then, in the winter, you get the hell out at the earliest opportunity.
Mixed Signals - Spring Tuesday, 9:30pm
Fox is pitching this as a story about guys that will resonate with women. We've got three friends in various stages of relationships -- married, moving in, and happily playing the field -- navigating life and love and the occasional thoroughly inappropriate situation. It's from the folks behind The Wedding Crashers, so we would expect no less.
Bob's Burgers - Midseason Sunday, 8:30pm
Loren Bouchard, mastermind of Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist, has lent his witty and squiggly pen to Fox's new animated series about a mom-and-pop burger joint, and the mom and pop who run it. We also get H. Jon Benjamin as part of the package. We're salivating just thinking about that gravely, deadpan voice delivering mildly-to-excessively offensive repartee now.
Terra Nova - Spring
Normally, we've be concerned about a new show that didn't actually have any clips, andy casting, or anything except production art and the producers to show for itself. However, one of those producers in Steven Spielberg, and the concept -- a family jumps back into prehistoric times to help save the future earth that has run out of resources -- is pretty damn spiffy. Plus, you should see the dino art! If they can pull it off, it will be a sight to behold.
