Analysis: The Fox 2013-2014 Television Schedule


With most of its schedule intact, Fox will introduce only four new series in the fall, one drama (Sleepy Hollow - pictured above), two comedies (Dads and Brooklyn Nine-Nine) and one reality show (Junior Masterchef). Fox will continue to rely on The X Factor and several animated series on Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday,  respectively, while Monday and Tuesday should do relatively well with Bones and New Girl. Like the other networks, Fox appears to be throwing in the towel on Friday, with the odd pairing of Junior Masterchef and encore episodes of Sleepy Hollow, whose original episodes will air after Bones on Monday evenings.

In the spring of 2014, Fox appears to be more serious about Friday evenings, with the relocated Bones at 8:00pm, followed by the ratings starved Raising Hope and new entry Enlisted. The return of The Following and American Idol should result in decent ratings for the network through the spring. With so many series being switched out from fall to spring, Fox's schedule looks similar to a cable network, such as TNT.

I am interested in sampling Sleepy Hollow and will continue to watch The Following and Glee, which simply does not receive the credit that it deserves.
