Fall TV 2013: Complete night-by-night grid for the broadcast networks
16 May 2013 8:51 AM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
The lineups are set, the new shows are ordered and the broadcast networks are starting to gear up for another season.
Here's your first look at how the networks will stack up against one another in the fall. For the most part, the biggest shows -- like "The Big Bang Theory," "The Voice" and "Modern Family" -- are staying in their familiar timeslots, but the nets have done a good amount of timeslot shuffling with returning series and added more than 20 new shows to the mix as well -- including Fox's "Almost Human," pictured above.
It's never too early to start planning your DVR strategy for the fall. This should help. Take a look at the prime-time grid for ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC and The CW in fall 2013 (roll your mouse over a day to see that night's schedule).

Best and Worst Decisions of 2013 Upfronts
15 May 2013 6:48 PM, PDT | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »
Done. The fates of pilots and returning shows are sealed. The new fall schedule has been revealed. And the week of network sales presentations to advertisers is over. Here’s some of the best and worst of the past week and what it means for this fall.
Highest concept (figuratively): Mixology — a sitcom where the entire series takes place during one night in a bar. Cheers only felt like that.
Highest concept (literally): Once Upon in Wonderland. You see that trippy trailer? Might as well call it the Bong Hit Fairy Tale Hour.
Most-deserved cancellation: Where to start? »

Upfronts: To Keep Auds, TV Nets Try Going Off Their Grids
15 May 2013 12:18 PM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
During a week when the TV networks are rolling out their schedules, they are also taking pains to talk about how they are getting off the grid.
Every TV net boasts special programming – once-a-year fare that runs the gamut from The Super Bowl to a showing of “It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” – but the next TV season looks to be filled with specials that are a little more so, as well as short-run series that have a “watch-now-or-miss-them-forever” kind of quality.
Fox will unveil a limited-run revival of its venerable “24” spy serial, and Kevin Reilly, Fox’s entertainment chairman, suggested ealier this week that more editions of the series in its new format were not a foregone conclusion. And don’t forget about its science-exploring “Cosmos” limited series featuring “Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane as host. ABC will broadcast a new special based on the “Toy Story” movie franchise from its Disney-owned sister, »

New 2013 TV Series Breakdown: Fox
14 May 2013 9:52 PM, PDT | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
The Fall TV Season presentations for all the new network shows take place this week with the second announced yesterday. Here's a full breakdown of which concepts have made the final list over on Fox.
While "The Following" proved a breakout winner, Fox had few success stories last season. So, it is going a bit more ambitious this year with numerous dramas, comedies and one-off "event series".
Several pilots didn't make the final cut and won't be seen including the family of government-sanctioned assassins drama "Boomerang," the adaptation of Lauren Oliver's book trilogy "Delirium" about a world where love is illegal, the legal interns workplace comedy "To My Assistant," the U.S.S. Lexington-set "The Wild Blue," and "The List" about the hunt for a thief who stole a file containing the secret identities of people in the Witness Security Program,

Fox 2013-2014 Full Schedule Preview With Trailers And Images
14 May 2013 10:12 AM, PDT | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »
Fox has one of its better slates coming your way with the new season, especially if you take the midseason shows into account. Some of these shows may not jump out at you now as must-see, but some of them are going to take over, if I’m any judge anyway.
Clear showcase offerings Dads, Almost Human, and Us & Them are guaranteed to take off early. Almost Human has J.J. Abrams recognition to pull people in, though it looks to be a show that could flounder after a few episodes, even if I hope it doesn’t. The other two are going to become hits. Unfortunately, we have to wait until mid-season for the Gavin & Stacey remake.
Rake also looks like a winner, as long as the translation can be made to work as an Americanized product, and the show actually delivers what made the Australian original so brilliant.

Clowns, Cats, and Grandma: The Five Scariest Adult Swim Bumpers
14 May 2013 10:00 AM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
As you may have figured out by now, I am obsessed with television. I am also a night owl (“Sleep is for pussies”), so I tend to watch a lot of Adult Swim on Cartoon Network. For those who go to bed at a sensible hour, Adult Swim is the block of animation (generally running from 10pm to 5am) that is decidedly not for children. It is stuff like Family Guy, Robot Chicken, and Metalocalypse, plus anime on the weekends. The animation that airs during this time is often subversive (or at the very least, crass) but more fascinating than the programming are the bumpers. Bumpers are the station ID clips that roll between shows, often just 15 seconds or so. I have to say, most of these bumpers scare the hell out of me. With some, obvious motifs are clearly meant to scare (i.e. clowns and hands reaching from computer screens). But with others, »

Fall TV 2013: 'Dads' and 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' miss the mark for Fox's comedy snap-judgments
13 May 2013 11:56 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Fox President of Entertainment, Kevin Reilly, insisted Monday at the network's 2013 Upfront presentation that the network had hit a successful stride this year with "smart, upscale" comedies. And he was right. "New Girl" has thrived in its second season, and "The Mindy Project" appeals to that upscale (read: wealthy, with disposable income to spend on whims inspired by TV commercial) audience.
But the new comedies that Fox is touting for its Fall 2013 schedule are far from smart and upscale. Instead, they seemed to choose crude, stupid humor (networks like to call this "broad") for their fall launch, saving more nuanced and sweet (and "upscale") comedies like "Surviving Jack" and "Us & Them" for their midseason launch.
Everyone's been looking forward to "Dads" because it comes from comedic mastermind Seth Macfarlane, in his first live-action TV offering. The multicam show stars Seth Green and Giovanni Ribisi as successful video game creators whose »
