Fox opted to keep things simple for fall 2010-11, adding just three new series– two comedies and one drama– in unveiling its slate today, including a comedy block on Tuesdays for the first time in its history.
Additionally the network revealed its midseason lineup and announced a time change for “Glee.” The musical dramedy will air Tuesdays, locally at 7 p.m. (But there’s good news for “Glee,” too: Fox picked the show for the plum slot following its broadcast of the Super Bowl on Feb. 6.)
New drama “Lonestar,” the story of a con man juggling two lives/two wives in Texas, will air Mondays following “House.”
“Raising Hope,” an eccentric domestic comedy, and “Running Wilde,” a romantic comedy starring Will Arnett and Keri Russell, will launch Tuesdays following the relocated “Glee.”
“Lie to Me” and “Human Target” both escape cancellation and get new timeslots.
