FOX announced its Fall 2009 prime time television schedule, which starts on Sept. 21 this year. In the past, FOX aired new shows as early as August, but this year FOX's fresh television will begin in mid-September -- closer to the traditional network premiere week. Here's a look at the four new shows you'll see on FOX this fall.
Keep reading! I'm timing you.
GLEE: Wednesday, Sept. 16 from 9-10 p.m
Following the season premiere of So You Think You Can Dance is a show about people who also think they can dance. And sing. And act. But don't worry, it's not another reality show. Glee is a musical comedy about a teacher who tries to revive a high school glee club from complete unpopularity and utter failure. The show springs from the mind of Ryan Murphy, who is also responsible for Nip/Tuck and Popular. With a cast that includes Cory Monteith (of Kyle XY fame), Jayma Mays (from Ugly Betty) and Jane Lynch (a regular in most of Christopher Guest's satires), Glee is bound to spread some joy.
BROTHERS: Friday, Sept. 18 from 8-8:30 p.m.
Everyone knows it's tough to go home again. But it's even more difficult when your father is played by "Rocky" actor Carl Weathers in Brothers, a comedy that portrays a family coming together amid sibling rivalry, unfortunate accidents, and unlucky breaks. All you need is love, right? Weathers stars with former FOX NFL Sunday personality Michael Strahan and Daryl "Chill" Mitchell (Ed, Veronica's Closet).
THE CLEVELAND SHOW: Sunday, Sept. 27 from 8:30-9 p.m
Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane has been cooking up something--or someone--very different: a quiet dude named Cleveland. Sandwiched between the inevitably rambunctious season premieres of The Simpsons and Family Guy, The Cleveland Show will be a welcome addition to FOX's Sunday night animation fest. Mike Henry and Sanaa Lathan voice Cleveland and his wife, Donna. Listen also for Saturday Night Live's Jason Sudeikis and Ariana Huffington, who also contribute their pipes to the show.
THE WANDA SYKES SHOW: Saturday, Nov. 7 from 11 p.m.-12 a.m
Kathy Griffin will have some competition in the sarcasm-and-sass category come early November, while both Dave and Conan will have to deal with a little late-night estrogen. Who can deliver all that? Wanda Sykes, of course. The feisty comedian, actress, and author will have her own self-titled late night show, replete with witty commentary, controversial panels, and out-of-the-studio footage on current events. Here's hoping she'll bring some of her hilarious one-liners to hot-button issues.

Not interested in any of these new shows. The only shows I like on FOX are House and American Dad. Both of which I know will come back! (If only we knew when House will come back) As for The Cleveland Show, want nothing to do with it.
this is what we get after cancelling terminator guess i'll watch another network
Virtuality??
The only tv shows i like of Fox are til death and lie to me.Too little compare with another networks..
As long as they have House, I am happy!
not exactly an exciting line-up, is it?
House !!!
everything on fox is a 5 season run max. any of us good couch pots know this, fox sucks for picking good shows. i do agree however when seth mcfarlane divvies his attn far n wide, his other 2 shows suffer. glee will make it a yr. maybe two. fringe will be canceled after this season. House is a yawn, please what is the interest. Scrubs, Nurse Jackie, and greys + niptuck all do essentially the same thing. Its as if each has the same writers in their pocket
The only shows I'll watch on FOX are House and Lie To Me. Nothing else interests me.
Of these Glee looks fun but I probably won't watch any of the others.
I will watch only fringe
Never should have cancelled Terminator....
only care for Fringe,new fox shows have potential to "fall" this fall
I'm excited about Glee, the show is original and not a crime/medical/law show which is a plus. I pray that the Cleveland show will be good, because family guy has been sucking for the past 2 seasons. I'm skepitical about Wanda because she can either be hilarious(like in the Chris Rock show) or absolutly boring (like in New Adventures of Christine).
Looks like I'll only be watching Fringe in the fall.
adamonfire, I'm not a fan of musicals either but Glee Ryan Murphy is a genius and the Glee pilot was pretty good. I'm also excited for The Cleveland Show.
Nothing here looks interesting to me...I like Jane Lynch normally but Glee really doesn't appeal to me at all. Wanda Sykes may actually be my least favorite comedian of all time too so not very excited about Fox's new show. At least they renewed Dollhouse...
GLEE!!!!
nothing exciting!!
ABC has the best new shows this year i think
Yawn x5.
Yawn x4.
YAWN...
FOX - That's all ya got?
nothing to write home about lol
Glee should be interesting. Im a big musical fan, and hate the fact that they are a dying breed (except on stage).
adamonfire - i don't think it's fair to hope Glee will be cancelled just because you hate musicals. i love musicals, and hope Glee sticks around.
the cleveland show will be lucky to survive since seth isn't good when his attention is divided just between american dad and family guy. adding more to is plate might make him drop it. glee looks like crap brothers crap and wanda sykes who gives a crap.
Here's hoping Glee gets canned, I HATE musicals. I'll watch Cleveland and give Brothers a shot, but I'm not expecting much. Wanda Sykes really, really sucks.
I really liked Glee so of course it will get cancelled.
Shows on fox isn't all that great to me....especially with the new line up shows...
Nothing important
