Last night's All-Star Game was one for the ages, as the AL won a marathon game 4-3 in 15 innings. It looked as though the NL might actually break out of their slump when they took a 2-0 lead when Chase Utley got an RBI single in the 6th, but the AL came right back with a 2-run homer by J.D. Drew. Each team scored a run in the eighth, and after the Cubs' Ryan Dempster shut down the AL in the ninth, the game went into extra innings. The AL had an excellent scoring chance in the bottom of the 10th when they had bases loaded and no one out, in large part because Dan Uggla committed two errors in the inning. This was just part of a nightmare day for Uggla, who went 0-4 with 3K and grounded into a double play. Aaron Cook of the Colorado Rockies then got out of the jam by getting three straight ground outs. However, it was all for naught when the AL eventually scored the winner in the 15th on a sacrifice fly.
This fall FOX puts out a line-up with a lot of familiar shows in new timeslots and several two-hour season premieres.
FOX Monday premieres Sept 1st with a two-hour Prison Break, then Sept 8th with this line-up
8/7c Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - New Time
9/8c Prison Break - New Time
A fifth season of Prison Break? Are they serious? Is anyone else sick of this show? Who will be watching this? I'm told Terminator is a pretty good show, but it's on opposite of The Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, and Dancing with the Stars.
FOX Tuesday premieres Sept. 9th with a two-hour Fringe, then Sept 16th with this line-up.
8/7c House - New Time
9/8c Fringe - New Show
House is one of my favorite shows, and I am excited for it to come back. FOX has been promoting the crap out of the new sci-fi show Fringe, which I plan on talking more about in a later post.
FOX Wednesday premieres Sept. 3rd with a two-hour Bones, then Sept. 10th with this line-up.
8/7c Bones - New Time
9/8c 'Til Death
9:30/8:30c Do Not Disturb - New Show
Bones is a decent show, but I would recommend Pushing Daisies in this timeslot. 'Til Death is the sitcom starring Everybody Loves Raymond's Brad Garrett, and returns for a second season. Do Not Disturb is a new sitcom about a chic Manhattan hotel staff.
FOX Thursday premieres Sept. 4th with a two-hour Moment of Truth, then Sept 11th with this line-up.
8/7c Moment of Truth - New Time
9/8c Kitchen Nightmares - New Time
I think FOX has thrown up the white flag in the Thursday ratings game. Look elsewhere for some great TV on Thursday nights.
FOX Friday premieres Sept 5th with a two-hour Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? then Sept 12th with this line-up.
8/7c Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? - New Time
9/8c Dont Forget the Lyrics! - New Time
FOX puts out a mildly amusing Friday line-up with these game shows hosted by Jeff Foxworthy and Joey Fatone.
FOX's "animation domination" Sunday comes back Sept 28th with a familiar line-up.
8:00/7:00c The Simpsons - 20th season
8:30/7:30c King of the Hill - 13th season
9:00/8:00c Family Guy - 7th season
9:30/8:30c American Dad - 4th season
FOX's bigger news may be for later in the season, as American Idol season 8 premieres Jan. 2009, along with three more new shows and the rumors of a Family Guy spin-off starring Cleveland.
What's On?
American History X, the 1998 movie starring Edward Norton as Derek Vinyard, a man driven to Neo-Nazism after his father is killed by an African-American, is on the FX network tonight at 8/7c.
