https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oVC9de8CtI Fox announced their midseaon dates today and missing from the list is Pitch and Exorcist. Does that mean that Fox exorcised them? I would assume so. Also missing is the Prison Break revival, which I assume is going to the Summer.
When it comes to what is back, Bones moves to Tuesdays and MasterChef cooks things up on Thursdays. That clears things up for Fridays where the dying Rosewood and should’ve been dead Sleepy Hollow will go, but don’t tell anyone because no one will be watching.
Another question is what is going on with Son of Zorn? That we don’t know.

For the first time since Fox launched and has aired the Super Bowl, they are finally airing a program after the game that fans will tune in to see. On February 5th, 24: Legacy, the much anticipated followup series, will debut and I bet you it will keep most of the audience. Unlike when Fox aired The X-Files, Family Guy and The Simpsons, Malcolm in the Middle, The Simpsons and American Dad, House, Glee, and New Girl and Brooklyn Nine-Nine. It is definitely a much better choice than CBS’s decision last year of airing The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and The Late Late Show with James Corden.
You have to know your audience and 24: Legacy is perfect for fans of the biggest game of the year. Everyone is full of testosterone (including women) after the football game and this action drama is a D!ck Flick on the small screen. Just like chips and dip, these two go hand in hand!

I went into The Rocky Horror Picture Show expecting to hate it, and the Fox production exceeded my expectations. Tim Curry and Meat Loaf have been on my To-Do list since I was kid, so this movie has a special place in my heart. Tonight at 8p, Fox broke my heart by destroying the classic cult film.
Instead of starting off with the infamous lips, we get a woman singing as she escorts people in to a movie theater. Those people are now supposed to be the audience that will represent the audiences that have been going to see the movie for decades at midnight on Friday nights.
If that was the only change, I would be OK, but it isn’t. Far from it. My iPod loves playing Dammit Janet and the version in this movie sounds different than the one I know. It isn’t only that. The pre-recorded tracks sound cheap and brassy, in fact all the tracks sounds that way and that it distracts from the telemovie.
If it was only the new arrangements that sounds bad and different, I would maybe forgive them, but it is also the acting and casting choices. The whole joke about Dr. Frank-N-Furter is he was a man poorly dressed as a woman, thus the song I am a Sweet Transvestite. Seeing Laverne Cox in the role, she looks like the woman she is and the joke and song are ruined. The rest of the cast also doesn’t get it and Adam Lambert’s death scene could not come soon enough.
Just like the ending of this reboot.
The original Rocky Horror was a great movie, and this is the community theater version of it that is playing in Dubuque, Iowa. And even their local reviewers can’t give it a good review.

Tonight at 9p on Fox, Pitch proves that it is an All-Star. The episode starts off with a fan created video voting for Ginny (Kylie Bunbury ), the first female baseball player, to play in the All-Star game. The fact that she has twice as many votes as any other player, make the decision easy for the Commissioner. Can she live up to the hype? To top it off we are getting to know her mom and how their conflict will affect how she pitches. Especially when her mother reveals a big secret to her daughter.
The episode is not only about her, Mike (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) knows his days as a baseball player are numbered and he is looking for his next job. Tonight he tries being a commentator, is it the right fit for him?
Pitch is getting stronger and stronger with each episode, so make sure to catch it tonight.
Lethal Weapon will have at least 15 more episodes than the franchise it is based on had movies because Fox ordered an additional 5 episodes for the show this season. The news is no surprise because it is Fox’s biggest new hit. But then again, everything does well after Empire.
See Rosewood that is failing big time without its lead in on its new night and it is bringing Pitch down with it.
