Fox Fall Annotated (Yawn)

[Mark Jeffries]

Cue Barenaked Ladies, because it's all been done before. The big new scripted show at Rupert TV is the reboot of "Baywatch," which will be mid-season. Meanwhile, it's a lot like last fall--as listed by TH:, all times ET:

MONDAY: 

8:00--Celebrity Name That Tune (we assume that last like year, it'll be one D-list game and one civilian game in each episode)

9:00--Celebrity Weakest Link

TUESDAY:

8:00--Best Medicine

9:00--Doc

WEDBESDAY:

8:00--The Floor

9:00--99 to Beat

"Masked Singer" will be mid-season, will move to New Jersey from LA (at least it's not Ireland), with Smart Dog out as producers and replaced by Fremantle shingle Eureka ("The Floor") and hopefully with a new host and panel.

THURSDAY:

8:00--Hell's Kitchen (there's always gonna be Gordon Ramsay)

9:00--Special Forces:  World's Toughest Test

FRIDAY:

College Football

SATURDAY:

For those who don't like sport, there's sport

SUNDAY:

7:00--NFL Overrun

7:30--The OT (why do they still call it that?)/Cartoon Reruns

8:00--The Simpsons

8:30--Animal Control (a live-action sitcom on Animation Domination--I would've preferred the unscripted "Who Wants to Beat the S--t Out of Joel McHale and Wipe That Smirk Off His Face?")

9:00--Universal Basic Guys

9:30--Grimsberg

Only two hours shot in Ireland. Whoopee.

High schools will be seriously p!ssed at that Friday night fest... and they sure managed to snow-job the Joisey Newhouse papers while they filmed there...     B
