"American Idol" will have its usual two-night premiere on Tuesday, Jan. 12 and Wednesday, Jan. 13.
- Starting the following week, the Wednesday show will have to run as an hour, because "Human Target" (based on the DC comic about the world's greatest bodyguard) will be airing after it at 9 as of Jan. 20, following a Sunday night preview in between football and the two-hour "24" premiere on Jan. 17.
- "Glee" will wrap up its fall run on Dec. 9, then will return on Tuesdays, post-"Idol," on April 13.
- "Past Life," which was going to air after "Idol" on Tuesdays, has instead been banished to Thursdays at 9, where it will fill in for "Fringe" from Feb. 11 through the end of March.
- "Sons of Tucson," a sitcom starring Tyler Labine from "Reaper," will air Sundays between "The Simpsons" and "Family Guy" starting March 14.
- "Lie to Me" received a full-season order, but has no timeslot as yet past next week's episode.
- The remaining episodes of "Dollhouse" will air on Fridays from Jan. 8-22.
- "'Til Death," which Fox keeps renewing, then immediately pulling from the schedule, "will return to the schedule at a later date."
