Fox announced its schedule on Monday morning as upfronts week kicked off in New York City.

The network is holding most of its new offerings until midseason when postseason baseball is out of the way. But the musical "Glee" and two comedies -- the animated "The Cleveland Show" and "Brothers" -- will make their debuts in the fall.

The new shows at midseason will be -- as previously reported -- dramas "Human Target" and "Past Life" and "Sons of Tucson," a comedy.

Other news from the release, both explicit and implicit:

-- "Lie to Me" will get the post-"House" boost on Monday nights, while "Fringe" movies to Thursdays, where it will follow "Bones."

-- "So You Think You Can Dance," which has its Season 5 premiere Thursday, will have its first shot at a regular-season berth this fall. On the conference call, Fox Entertainment President Kevin Reilly said that he thinks "So You Think You Can Dance" will bring more women to the network and be a good companion for "Glee."

-- As we previously reported, the low-rated Joss Whedon show "Dollhouse" has been renewed for its second season in its same Friday time slot. "This is a bet on Joss Whedon," Reilly said.

-- The resilient "Til Death" will return again despite never really finding an audience.

-- Goners: "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles," "Sit Down, Shut Up," "Do Not Disturb."

Unfortunately, that TERMINA... (Below threshold)
Paul Hooson:

Unfortunately, that TERMINATOR TV show just didn't have the magic of the three films. And if anything, I think that it might hurt the audience for that new movie as well. This was once a great movie franchise, but is now probably damaged goods thanks to this TV series hurting the enterprise.

I have to agree, Paul. All... (Below threshold)
LaMedusa:

I have to agree, Paul. All special effects with a thin story line is going to run the Terminator into the ground. They are coming out with a new film, we'll just have to see how that measures up again the previous three. They dragged it out way too far with part III, IMHO.
