There is further evidence of the Fox network's hatred and/or misunderstanding of the science fiction genre. Along with giving the Friday Night Death Slot to
The Sarah Connor Chronicles and
Dollhouse, they are
making room for shows like
Boldly Going Nowhere and
Glee.
According to the article, the show
Glee, which is about a high school Glee Club (can anybody say
High School Musical rip-off?), will be given a slot after
American Idol. You don't get much stronger publicity than that. I suspect that
Boldly Going Nowhere (which I have hope for, since its from the creators of
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) will also get a decent slot. But that show is a
parody of science-fiction, not the real thing (which when done well actually makes you cogitate on philosophy, life and the universe).

Between the sessions for
So You Think You Can Dance and
Fringe, FOX Entertainment president Kevin Reilly happily took answers from the gathered critics. Perhaps the most interesting piece of news he unleashed on us was that the network is officially going to have two development seasons: the traditional one that ends in May with the upfronts, and a new one that ends in December, which will position the network to air pilots in the January/February time frame, a time Reilly called the network's "high season." (Which it is, of course, given the presence of the BCS and
American Idol).
In fact, Reilly has eight pilots currently in development for consideration in December, far more than he had for this past May, due to the writers' strike and other reasons. Other interesting bits after the jump.

Huge news for fans of the FX comedy It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Not only was the show recently renewed for a 13 episode fourth season, but according to The Hollywood Reporter, the show's creators have a new pilot in the works as well. Charlie Day, Rob McElhenney, and Glenn Howerton (first, fourth, and fifth from the left in the above picture respectively) have been tapped by FOX to write and executive produce a new sitcom about everyday life on a spaceship called Boldly Going Nowhere.
