For Better or Werts : TV Worth Watching

FALL FLASH: New Fox shows

UPDATED --

So Fox has posted its fall prime-time schedule at its website, as presented Monday afternoon in Manhattan to advertisers -- and, incidentally, to critics, who only get invited if there's extra room in the dedicated-to-money-making upfront venue.

One who got in offers instant reaction here.

Fox 2010-11 highlights include the latest from The Shield producer Shawn Ryan (midseason's Chicago cops hour Ride-along, photo at top), Steven Spielberg's dinos-to-cell-phones time trip adventure Terra Nova, and a next-generation Dallas in the Texas oil soapfest Lonestar (from Party of Five honchos Chris Keyser and Amy Lippman, so don't sneer yet). Fresh animation, too.

Unfortunately, there's also a third show from screaming chef Gordon Ramsay.

Video clips and details can be found here.

ORIGINAL POST --

Fox presents its 2010-11 prime-time slate to advertisers Monday afternoon in Manhattan. Because I'll be without computer access for awhile, I'm linking to reports from the morning's conference call preview with reporters.

Expect official-speak updates upon return . . .

Diane Werts has been glued to the tube since she can remember, growing up in a household where the TV came on first thing in the morning and stayed on till bedtime and beyond. She worked for the USA Film Festival, then for The Dallas Morning News writing about everything from Shakespeare to macrame art to rock music (and has the hearing loss to prove it). She moved to New York's Newsday to edit their glossy TV magazine, then returned to writing about television, specializing in its stranger permutations. She's a past president of the Television Critics Association.
