Forget Jack Bauer. The writers' strike means there won't be a new season of "24" in January.
Instead, Fox has unveiled a new schedule for the rest of the season. And it is the most specific plan any network has offered so far. The plan suggests that Fox will be more stable than the competition in coming months. Fox, after all, will offer the Super Bowl on Feb. 3, followed by a new episode of "House" with Oscar-winner Mira Sorvino.
Biggest news: "American Idol" returns Jan. 15 and 16. The network will serve up four hours over those two nights.
Taking the "24" time slot will be "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles." This thriller will preview Sunday, Jan. 13. Then it moves to 9 p.m. Mondays, starting the next night.
The writers' strike will mean more reality programming. Which I hate!!!
"The Moment of Truth," a game show with a lie-detector test and big money, arrives Jan. 23.
"When Women Rule the World," a role-reversal show, debuts March 3.
A new season of "Hell's Kitchen" begins on April 1 -- how do you like that timing?
Fox also will offer new installments of "Cops," "America's Most Wanted," "Don't Foget the Lyrics!" and "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?"
New scripted series include:
"New Amsterdam," a drama about an immortal cop, debuting Feb. 22.
"Unhitched," a comedy from the Farrelly Brothers, starting March 2.
"The Return of Jezebel James," a comedy from "Gilmore Girls" creator Amy Sherman-Palladino, beginning March 7. The show stars Parker Posey, Lauren Ambrose and Oscar-winner Dianne Wiest.
"Canterbury's Law," a legal thriller with Julianna Marguilies, beginning April 11.
Fox added that it will offer a mix of new episodes and repeats of "House," "Back to You," "'Til Death" and "Bones."
"Prison Break" offer an episode Monday, then returns Jan. 14.
New episodes will continue to air of Fox's animated Sunday comedies.
