2013 TV upfronts: Fox overhauls schedule
LA Times:NEW YORK -- Coming off a television season that saw its ratings fall by 20%, Fox unveiled a new schedule heavy on big names both in front of and behind the camera in hopes of rejuvenating its prime-time lineup.
..snip..
In the fall, Fox will premiere new dramas "Almost Human" and "Sleepy Hollow" on Monday, both of which are set in the future. "Almost Human," from Abrams, is a crime drama about robots working in law enforcement. "Sleepy Hollow" is a modern take on Ichabod Crane.
On the comedy front, Fox is adding two new sitcoms — "Dads" and "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" to its Tuesday night lineup and bringing back "New Girl" and "The Mindy Project." "Dads," produced by MacFarlane, is about two video game entrepreneurs whose cool lives come crashing to a halt when their fathers move in with them. "Brooklyn Nine-Nine, starring Samberg and Andre Baugher, is about a quirky squad of detectives.
Fox's big midseason shows include "Rake," a legal drama starring Kinnear and executive produced by Peter Tolan, whose credits include FX's "Rescue Me." Also coming in midseason is "Gang Related," a police drama.
