2014-15 Fall TV Schedules

The networks are announcing their 2014-15 TV schedules, and I didn’t see any other threads about this - hopefully I’m not duplicating anybody’s effort.

I’ll start with my comments on the Fox schedule.

Fox finally figured out that its predictions as to which shows will survive to midseason aren’t exactly 100%, as, for the first time in years, there is no midseason schedule included - just a list of shows (including Glee) that will start/resume in midseason.

Fox is holding onto Bordertown until midseason (either that, or Fox thinks it’s the next Murder Police and wants to bury it), so live-action shows are returning to Sundays, including Brooklyn Nine-Nine at 8:30 between The Simpsons and Family Guy. To make room, Bob’s Burgers is moving to 7:30, which means it gets pre-empted by Fox NFL doubleheaders. (Cue Bob: “Wait, what?”)

Apparently, they’re not entirely sure what to do with Glee.

Here’s the schedule:

MONDAY
8:00-9:00 - GOTHAM (new)
9:00-10:00 - SLEEPY HOLLOW

TUESDAY
8:00-9:00 - UTOPIA (new)
9:00-9:30 - NEW GIRL
9:30-10:00 - THE MINDY PROJECT

WEDNESDAY
8:00-9:00 - HELL’S KITCHEN
9:00-10:00 - RED BAND SOCIETY (new)

THURSDAY
8:00-9:00 - BONES
9:00-10:00 - GRACEPOINT (new)

FRIDAY
8:00-9:00 - MASTERCHEF JUNIOR
9:00-10:00 - UTOPIA (I assume this is a repeat of the Tuesday episode)

SATURDAY - College Football

SUNDAY
(There is nothing listed for 7:00 on non-NFL doubleheader days; I am assuming they will air a repeat of Bob’s Burgers or The Simpsons)
7:30-8:00 - THE OT (on NFL doubleheader days) / BOB’S BURGERS
8:00-8:30 - THE SIMPSONS
8:30-9:00 - BROOKLYN NINE-NINE
9:00-9:30 - FAMILY GUY
9:30-10:00 - MULANEY (new)

It’s also worth mentioning that Fox cancelled the not-quite-brilliant-but-WAY-funnier-and-more-original-than-Family-Guy American Dad, which was then subsequently picked up by TBS.
