As Fox prepares to say farewell to Simon Cowell and Jack Bauer, Fox executives presented their new 2010-11 schedule today.
The good news is that “Fringe” will stay where it is, Thursdays at 9 p.m. EST. The show has built a solid audience since moving to the time slot this year. The bad news is “Human Target” is moving to Fridays at 8 p.m. EST.

•For Hope’s Sake, a comedy from producer Greg Garcia (My Name Is Earl), follows a single dad raising his kid while living with his screwy parents.
•Traffic Light is a comedy about three guy pals in different stages of relationships, and midseason cartoon Bob’s Burgers, is set at a family burger joint.
“The bad news is “Human Target” is moving to Fridays at 8 p.m. EST.”
Yeah, now it’ll be on at the same time as “Smallville”, unless the CW changes something. But even if “Human Target” stayed where it was, it would still be on at the same time as “Undercovers”, and I wanted to see that too.
I’m curious about Terra Nova, and I’m glad Human Target and Lie To Me are coming back.
Am I the only one who’s totally not interested in the animated series?
No.
I’m curious about Terra Nova, but I don’t see it listed above on Fox’s schedule. Does anyone know when it’s supposed to air?
Here’s my fall and mid-season schedule:
MONDAY
8-9 p.m. — House
WEDNESDAY
8-9 p.m. — Lie to Me
THURSDAY
8-9 p.m. — Bones
9-10 p.m. — Fringe
FRIDAY
8-9 p.m. — Human Target
I’ll also check out Terra Nova… but that’s about it on Fox, and all of the above will be via delayed viewing.
