New shows debuting in fall 2014
Gotham Description probably not needed here
Red Band Society Follows a group of high-school students who meet and bond as patients in a hospital, where they are being treated for serious and life-threatening medical conditions. Stars Octavia Dotel Spencer.
Gracepoint The American adaptation of the UK’s serial murder mystery Broadchurch, which is kinda like Denmark’s The Killing, which was adapted in America as The Killing. Gracepoint and Broadchurch both star the Tenth Doctor, David Tennant.
Utopia Reality show that follows fifteen people as they attempt to build their own “civilization” after moving to an isolated and undeveloped location.
Mulaney Multi-cam sitcom that follows the life and career of rising stand-up comedian John Mulaney (playing himself). Also stars Martin Short.
Gotham (debuting in the Monday 8PM timeslot) and Gracepoint will be must-sees for me at the start. Really, the only other newsworthy item is B99 moving to Sunday nights, sandwiched in between The Simpsons and Family Guy.
FOX also released info about shows coming next year...
New dramas in 2015
Backstrom Comedic crime procedural starring Rainn Wilson as an offensive and subversive detective who’s pegged to lead Portland’s Special Crimes Unit. Also stars Dennis Haysbert.
Empire The story of a hip-hop mogul who must groom one of his three sons to take over the empire after he finds out he has a debilitating disease.
Hieroglyph I guess the best way to describe this is serial investigation show set in Ancient Egypt. OK then.
New comedies in 2015
Bordertown Animated comedy that follows two families living on the US-Mexico border led by two very opposite fathers: a behind-the-times Border Patrol agent, and a very successful immigrant from Mexico. Hilarity is supposed to ensue. From Seth MacFarlane.
The Last Man on Earth Will Forte’s single-camera comedy that follows a man who is presumably the last living person on Earth after some unspecified event takes place in the near future.
Weird Loners Single-camera comedy that follows the lives of four 30-something singles. That’s basically it.
New special event series in 2015
Wayward Pines Limited mystery series based on a Secret Service agent who travels to the eponymous town – a perfect town on the surface - searching for two missing agents, and finds himself trapped. You cannot leave or communicate with the outside world. Mysteries abound. With Matt Dillon, Carla Gugino, Melissa Leo, Juliette Lewis, and Terrence Howard. From M. Night Shyamalan.

For a second I thought UTOPIA was an american remake of the Channel 4 series, and thought we were in for the biggest tonal whiplash in the history of television. Sad it's just another crappy reality show.

Young attractive people who are dying sounds like such a layup for two seasons (or whenever people get bored with not enough people dying or getting better.)

This is a godsend to people who's jobs are to make jokes about poor rating.

I wish Gotham wasn't on opposite RAW...I can just watch it On Demand but I'm less likely to try out a show to begin with if it's on opposite other shows I watch. I'm going to at least give that (and The Flash) a shot...

Yeah, don't ask me to explain this one. I was making roster adjustments to my fantasy team at the time, but I was not looking at Octavio Dotel at all. Yikes.

High hopes for more HILARIOUS racism from MacFarlane and company!
Looks like no reason at all to tune in on non-weekend nights for me...which probably isn't all that different from previous years, now that I really think about it. (Gosh, I've missed 24!)

Did anybody see the Family Guy bit where they razz Cleveland for the quality of his show?
I'm only asking because it ends with them giving him the last four seasons of Family Guy on DVD and telling him they've been doing jokes.
Which I found hilarious. Because there's been less than a dozen good episodes in those four seasons.
Multi-camera shows are cheaper to produce, therefore likely to have a not-so-great writing. They also have a more stage-y presentation.
Of the current single camera shows, I'd say New Girl and The Middle would probably be least changed by going multi-camera.

Aren't multi-camera shows more likely to be filmed in front of a studio audience? (Or...weren't? Almost nothing's filmed in front of a studio audience anymore, right?)
(Clearly,this reference is more dated than I initially thought))
Obviously, nothing is in production now
