Culture: Fox gets rid of some shows, gets some new ones. Neat.

  • fresh Fox, in announcing its new schedule, added six shows, including a Fall edition of “So You Think You Can Dance,” a bunch of comedies (including “Family Guy” spinoff “The Cleveland Show”) and a Wanda Sykes riff-on-news late-night show.
  • stale The coming of the new means the old stuff has to go, and the biggest casualty may be the Terminator spin-off TV series “The Sarah Connor Chronicles.” Some reality series will go, and “King of the Hill” will be sent off properly in the Fall.
  • solid But the more interesting story may be what they kept and how they kept it. Joss Whedon’s latest series, “Dollhouse,” is sticking around despite low ratings, and hit drama series “Fringe” will upgrade to the tough Thursday night schedule. source
