The Fox Fall and Winter Schedules

Fox today released its schedules for both the fall and winter of 2008-9. "Prison Break," "The Sarah Connor Chronicles," and the odious "Moment of Truth" are back. "Back to You" is gone.

Among the buzzworthy new shows is "Fringe," from "Lost" and "Alias" creator J.J. Abrams. It starts off, in fact, sounding suitably "Lost-y" (and notably Boston-based): an international flight crashes at Logan Airport, and everything isn't as it seems. The main characters include FBI investigators and a brilliant Einstein type who happens to be institutionalized. Lance Reddick, who plays Abbadon in "Lost," is one of the agents.

In the winter comes another one for the fanboy/fangirl set: "Dollhouse," created by Joss Whedon and starring Eliza Dushku. It's about a group of secret operatives who have their personalities -- and maybe their memories -- wiped out before they start each new mission. An FBI agent, played by Tahmoh Penikett (the adorable Helo on "Battlestar Galactica") is on their trail.

On the comedy front, there is "Do Not Disturb," the working title for a sitcom set at a boutique hotel in New York. In the spring, we'll get "The Cleveland Show," a "Family Guy" spinoff featuring one of Peter's bar buddies; and "Sit Down, Shut Up!," an animated comedy about underachieving teachers from "Arrested Development" creator Mitchell Hurwitz and featuring some really funny voices: Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, Kenan Thompson, Will Forte, Cheri Oteri, Henry Winkler, Nick Kroll, and SpongeBob himself, Tom Kenny.

And realitywise, there's "Secret Millionaire," an unscripted show in which rich folks go undercover among the great unwashed.

Here it is, with new shows in bold...
