Normally, networks release their Fall schedules during the Upfronts. However, Fox went into the day without confirmed renewals of 9-1-1 and The Resident. The network was able to finalize the deal right before the presentation, but they were not prepared to release their lineup at that time.
Now, almost a month later, Fox finally let us know when their shows will air. I am OK with almost all of it. But I just wish they would’ve bumped their live-action “comedies” to midseason and put Fantasy Island on after Hell’s Kitchen. I have been waiting too long for new episodes, and it is always all about me.

Fox was set to announce their 2022-2023 schedule today, but they are still locking it in. That is because they have yet to finalize deals for 9-1-1 and The Resident. Because of that, they are moving the two summer shows, Fantasy Island and Lego Masters to the regular season.
Since the network doesn’t have a schedule, these are the shows that are coming back: Dramas: 9-1-1: Lone Star, Accused, Alert, The Cleaning Lady, Fantasy Island, Monarch; Comedies: Bob’s Burgers, Call Me Kat, Family Guy, The Great North, Grimsburg, Housebroken, Krapopolis, The Simpsons, Welcome To Flatch; Unscripted: Beat Shazam, Crime Scene Kitchen, Don’t Forget The Lyrics!, Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars, Hell’s Kitchen, Lego Masters, The Masked Singer, Masterchef, Next Level Chef, So You Think You Can Dance.
Am I the only one who thinks that Fox picked up Call Me Kat to f*ck with Jeopardy? As long as Mayim Bialik has to film the unfunny sitcom, then she can’t become the full time host of the game show. When it comes to Welcome to Flatch, I want to see the photos they have because you know they are salacious.
Two months ago, we heard that Rudy Giuliani was going to be on The Masked Singer and that Ken Jeong and Robin Thicke walked off of the stage after his reveal.
Tonight that episode finally aired, so did that happen? It didn’t, and it did. The two men did walk off the stage eventually but remained professionals until they didn’t have to be anymore.
I respect them for doing their jobs. Sadly, the same can not be said for Giuliani, who has never been a professional. Well, professional asshole, he was always good at that.
And sad on Fox for booking the disgraced man.
Oh, did you notice how Nick Cannon dissed him by not introducing him as the former mayor of New York City? That was a nice touch. Too bad the women were just too oblivious to it all.
NBC announced that they cancelled Ordinary Joe, and then a few minutes later, Fox did the same with The Big Leap. The news, reported by Varietyfirst, is no surprise because neither show did well in the ratings.
The Big Leap was a great show, but it was wrongly paired with 9-1-1 because it reached a different type of audience. 9-1-1 is first responder drama, while The Big Leap was a fictional take of the behind the scenes of a reality dancing competition show and all the madness that goes on. Well, even more so because it was make-believe. It also had a lot of heart.
Ordinary Joe had an interesting concept. James Wolk starred as the lead character, who had three choices on his college graduation day. The show followed what happened if he made each decision. There was only one problem, the decisions were forced on us 10 years later. We needed a standalone episode for each timeline so we could have gotten to know each story better. It helped with This Is Us, and I think it would’ve done the same with Ordinary Joe.
Are you sad that these shows were given the ax? I am upset about The Big Leap.
