A few years after Parks And Recreation cruelly ripped apart the greatest pair of best friends in the history of Indiana, Amy Poehler and Rashida Jones are set to reunite for Duncanville, a new animated series for Fox created by Poehler and Simpsons producers Mike and Julie Scully. Fox has already ordered 13 episodes,…

As far as animated Halloween episodes go, “Nightmare on Ocean Avenue Street” is a fairly unadventurous entry into the category. While other shows ramp up the antics on Halloween night, Bob’s Burgers keeps things simple this year with a Scooby-Doo-esque mystery. Luckily, Bob’s Burgers does well with simple, so there…

As the Property Brothers, Jonathan and Drew Scott anchor HGTV’s lineup of “shows you watch with Mom on Thanksgiving.” They’ve built a veritable empire, with their namesake program having spun off into shows like Brother vs. Brother and Property Brothers: At Home. Now, the boys hope to rehab Fox’s lame-duck comedy…

The Simpsons will clamber yet again into its annual “Treehouse Of Horrors” this Sunday for spoofs on Jurassic Park, Invasion Of The Body Snatchers, and, intriguingly, The Three Faces of Eve. But it’s next year’s edition that’s bound to make Homer something something, as showrunner Al Jean reveals it will be the show’s…

No good deed goes unpunished on Bob’s Burgers. Then again, no bad deed goes unpunished either. And come to think of it, the good deeds do ultimately get rewarded, while the bad deeds get rewarded far longer than they really ought to. Eventually everything settles somewhere in the middle, a murky melange of B- grades…

The Belchers have proven over and over again that they can scheme, especially with Louise at the helm and a group of rag-tag Wagstaffers in the mix. But never before has an episode gone full Oceans 11-style heist like tonight’s episode did. From the initial plan to the assembling of a crew with a particular set of…

It’s pretty wild that a show with nine seasons under its belt can continue being not only compelling and hilarious, but genuine. Shows like, let’s say, The Simpsons, continue to be successful and entertaining (depending who you speak to), but it’s hard to put trust in the characters’ emotions. Despite the several…

Throughout its first season, the strength of The Gifted, Fox’s other, not-so-trippy X-Men TV series, has not really been any particular fidelity to the tone of the X-Men comics (which even at their more emotional and grounded are—on average—a lot more out-there than this scrappy mutants-on-the-run family drama), or…

Fox doesn’t have a great track record with new animated shows, since for every Simpsons and Family Guy you have a couple Allen Gregorys or Bordertowns, but Fox’s latest animated pick-up at least has a solid cast. This comes from Variety, which says Fox has given a straight-to-series order to Bless The Harts, a…

Last Man Standing is coming back from a well-deserved death on ABC for a revival on Fox this week, but if you simply cannot wait to see Tim Allen grunt and roll his eyes at—ugh—women and young people, the Last Man Standing Twitter account has dumped the full premiere online early. Now you can watch a far-too-long meta…

We’re rapidly approaching a reality in which the company that made The Little Mermaid might also own The Simpsons, a mind-boggling proposition for anyone looking back on the state of animation way back in 1989. But while Disney’s soon-to-be-completed acquisition of 20th Century Fox’s film and TV assets—including the…

Thanks to some interesting choices this spring, the discussion during today’s Fox executive session at the Television Critics Association summer press tour turned to the network’s Last Man Standing revival. There was a certain business sense to the whole deal, given that the Tim Allen-led “comedy” is produced by Fox’s…

Back in May, Fox gutted its comedy lineup by canceling The Mick, Brooklyn Nine-Nine (though it got better), and The Last Man On Earth, all to make room for the glorious right-wing renaissance heralded by Last Man Standing’s triumphant return to the airwaves. Unfortunately, The Last Man On Earth had established a habit…

According to The Hollywood Reporter, 24 creators Joel Surnow and Bob Cochran are working with Fox to develop another revival of their hit torture drama, following 2014's 24: Live Another Day and last year’s 24: Legacy. Unlike those attempts, which focused on an older Jack Bauer and a non-Jack Bauer, this new 24 will…

Won’t You Be My Neighbor?, the critically acclaimed new documentary about Fred Rogers, is routinely reducing its audiences to deep, salty pools of tears. It’s both lovely and bewildering in these mean, divided times to see such a pure portrait of human kindness, the story of a man who still believed in the inherent…

Perhaps the sentiments contained in the above sitcom trailer are not yet sufficiently fashionable to procure them general favor; a long habit of not thinking a thing funny, gives it a superficial appearance of being unfunny, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defence of a basic sense of humor. But the tumult…

As reported by Deadline, Fox has canceled Ghosted after one, tumultuous season. This news comes just a few weeks after Fox rebooted the show halfway through its season into more of a straightforward, Office-style comedy, thanks to the guiding hand of new showrunner Paul Lieberstein—who played Toby on The Office. The…

While most of the nation is caught up watching the Mexican border with soul-sick revulsion, there’s been another big drama playing out in the papers that you might not have been following as closely: the epic pissing match over which enormous media conglomerate gets the privilege of throwing more money at Fox ruler…

Following the lead of Family Guy’s Seth MacFarlane—who followed up his tweet about being “embarrassed” to work for Fox with a $2.5 million donation to NPR and its L.A. affiliate, KPCC, earlier today—a growing chorus of Fox creatives are criticizing the company for its role in such craven lies as “it’s not an…

Over the weekend, Family Guy and The Orville creator Seth MacFarlane decided to take a nice big bite out of the hand that feeds him by saying that he’s “embarrassed” to work for Fox. His comment was a response to a quote from Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who recently instructed viewers to ignore everything they hear…
