Click on the graphic above for more info on FOX TV’s 2004-05 programming schedule.
Talk about confusing. In announcing their fall TV schedule this morning, Fox TV jettisoned the whole “gee shucks, here are the great programmes we’ve lined up for you this fall” mantra, in favour of offering three different, and dare we say confusing, programming schedules — June til October, November to January, and January to June — all of which you’ll find here.
And, yes, there will be a test — so study Fox’s programming schedule well.
Daniel Fienberg, at Zap2it.com, tries to make some sense of Fox’s schedule for all seasons, as does David Bauder at Associated Press.
The Futon Critic weighs in, as does a beleaguered Gary Levin at USA Today.

A Day To Rejoice: The NDP Has A 7-Point Lead On The B.C. Liberals
 |
According to an Ipsos-Reid poll released today, “44% of decided British Columbians say they would support the New Democratic Party if an election were held tomorrow, while only 37% would support the B.C. Liberals.” Support for the Green Party is also waning, having dropped 9 points to 11%, from a May 2002 high of 20%.
The results are the continuation of a downward trend for the provincial Liberals, who have been slipping in the polls since September 2003 when they had 45 per cent support and the NDP was at 31 per cent, said Kyle Braid, an Ipsos-Reid spokesman.
Norman Ruff, a University of Victoria political scientist, told Canadian Press, “In my book, 45 per cent is the magic number. Forty-five per cent means a majority government.” Traditionally in B.C., the political party that receives 45 per cent of the vote wins 50 per cent of the available seats, he said.
The numbers reflect voter anger with the Campbell government’s attack on working British Columbians, and also indicates a desire by voters to support a positive alternative, said Carole James, leader of the NDP.

CBS Fall Schedule: Familiar, Conservative and Traditional
CBS Fall Schedule, 2004-05. Click on the graphic above for more info.
Having excised middling fare, and middling actors, like David Morse in Hack, Craig T. Nelson in The District, and Dabney Coleman in The Guardian from their current schedule, this fall CBS introduces the tried-and-true, with more middling actors, like Emmy award-winner Rob Lowe in dr. vegas, John Goodman in Center of the Universe, and Gary Sinise in CSI: NY.
Otherwise, weighing in on CBS’ fall 2004 schedule are Michele Gershberg and Steve Gorman, writing for Reuters; The Futon Critic; Rick Porter at Zap2it.com; and Andrew Wallenstein at The Hollywood Reporter.
Update, at 7:40 p.m.: Seems that, earlier today, the only Net-based info the CBS network could seem to muster, given their obvious paucity of intellectual and creative resources, was this Associated Press story by David Bauder. As of 1:24 p.m., CBS seemed never to have heard about the world wide web, and must have figured their audience hadn’t heard anything about it, either (thus, up until only a few minutes ago, CBS had posted no schedule grid, or programme links). That circumstance, fortunately, has changed. You can see the CBS schedule grid above, or click here for more information on the depth and breadth of CBS’ fall programme schedule.
