Fox is making some major midseason moves, shifting “House” to Mondays and “Bones” to Thursdays.
In addition, the network is giving first-year drama “Fringe” a major boost by scheduling it behind the Tuesday night edition of “American Idol.” New drama “Lie to Me” also will get an “Idol” lead-in, landing behind the Wednesday edition of the reality powerhouse.
Not getting “Idol”-ized: Joss Whedon’s “Dollhouse,” which will air Fridays at 9 p.m. starting Feb. 13. Its lead-in will be “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles,” which is shifting from Mondays to Fridays.
Other elements for Fox’s winter schedule include “Hell’s Kitchen,” which is set to air on Thursday nights, and “Hole in the Wall,” which is relocating to Sundays at 7.
Fox’s midseason kicks off with the previously announced two-night premiere of “24” on Jan. 11-12 from 8-10 p.m. each night. It continues with the four-hour, two-night premiere of “Idol” on Jan. 13-14.
“Idol” is staying put on Tuesday and Wednesdays.
Fox’s new Thursday lineup premieres Jan. 15, with “Bones” at 8. “Hell’s Kitchen” debuts its new season Jan. 29 at 9 p.m.
After a brief hiatus, “Fringe” makes its post-“Idol” bow Jan. 20 at 9 p.m. “Lie to Me” premieres Jan. 21, also at 9 p.m.
As for “House,” it moves to Mondays at 8 on Jan. 19, with “24” settling into its regular 9 p.m. time slot the same night.
Fox will stick with unscripted shows on Fridays through mid-February. On Feb. 13, “Terminator” and “Dollhouse” begin airing at 8 and 9 p.m., respectively.
