FOX is looking for stability in their fall schedule, closely mirroring their schedule from last fall during their upfront presentation earlier this week.  The week starts with game shows on Monday, with Celebrity Name That Tune followed by Celebrity Weakest Link.  Tuesday has a second installment of Best Medicine followed by season three of Doc.

Competitions are the order of the day on Wednesday, with the latest installment of The Floor followed by 99 to Beat.  Thursdays focus on reality competitions, with new editions of Hell’s Kitchen and Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test.  Sports remains the focus on Friday, with college football and basketball filling the night.  Sunday, as always, is Animation Domination, with The Simpsons, the live-action Animal Control, Universal Basic Guys, and Grimsburg wrapping things up following football.

New shows on tap for midseason include a revamped version of Baywatch, starring Stephen Amell, The Interrogator, an espionage thriller from Stephen Fry, and Marriage Market, a reality competition show hosted by Whitney Cummings where single people give their closest family control of their love lives.  New editions of returning shows include Memory of a Killer, Fear Factor: House of Fear, Bob’s Burgers, Family Guy, American Dad!, and The Masked Singer.

Gone and mostly forgotten is Going Dutch.
