Nooo The Crazy Ones was cut.

Nooo Revolution was cut.
I mean, the nano-tech BS is getting ridiculous but I still like the show.

Noooooo The Mentalist was saved.
I gave up on it months ago because I thought it was doomed.

FOX
Best Lead-In: Mulaney
Show(s) I’m Looking Forward To: Um...Gotham seems possibly interesting, I suppose. It’s certain to be their most hyped show. If it follows Shield’s trajectory, it’d be a win given how Fox is going. [For midseason, Heiroglyph sounds like it has more potential.]
Most Interesting Move: Having 4 unscripted hours (which are basically composed of two shows) makes it easy to plug them out when Idol comes back. It also makes it easier to move them out if some of Fox’s new stuff actually works, yet because of the lower costs it’s less eyebrow-raising for them to keep staying on if not.

Most Questionable Move: No more Animation Domination. While Sunday’s shows should all skew male-ish, I have a feeling that Brooklyn/Mulaney will lag behind with this elusive audience, and will have a somewhat older audience to boot. Last time I checked the only broadcast shows with more male than female viewers: Fox animation, and full-on action shows. And animated comedy feels like better counter-programming to football than live-action comedy. I don’t think B/M will do particularly better than they would on Fox’s terrible Tuesdays.
Also, on a more personal note, Fox passed on both the Tina Fey produced comedy and the Jane Krakowski starring comedy. To that I say: keep failing, Fox.

Idol is tentatively planned to have about 37 hours next season. Cutting the elimination episode, which has helped DWTS stabilize a bunch after years of free-falling like Idol.
My guess based on this year's schedule: 10 hrs auditions, 9 hrs Hollywood + Vegas/Rush Week/semifinals or whatever, 18 hrs live shows (i.e. T10 with one elimination a week, rather than T13, plus one double elimination).

Kevin Reilly mentioned the first few weeks of Idol would be 2 nights a week but after that would be 1 night.
ALSO. Apparently they're going to pair up Idol with the new show Empire meaning Idol will be 1 hour a week?!

Doubtful. I think it would be more like: Idol+Empire for the non-live weeks.

Then something else+Empire when Idol shifts to 1 show a week.

The Last Man on Earth

Why is NBC sabotaging State of Affairs already? Like why is premiering till November? It should premiere right after The Voice in September on Mondays. I need this to pull a Black List and not Revolution

Excited for Gotham.

Best Lead-Ins go to: How to Get Away with Murder, Black-ish
New Shows I'm Most Likely to Check Out: Manhattan Love Story (Analeigh Tipton!), Selfie (John Cho!)
The only interesting move, for better or for worse: All-Shonda night. I was hoping Grey's would be moved to another night, not just moved up an hour. I was completely expecting the Scandal/Murder combo. I'm unsure if soap fans want to watch 3 hours in a row of this...

Gotham looks to be the most interesting thus far.

The ABC upfronts were well done.

The Murder trailer is not doing it for me, it doesn't show much of the story. But it's Shonda so I'll give it a try. Gracepoint will be amazing, Anna is flawless. I'll watch Gotham but won't fall for the hype, I did with Shield and we all know how that turned out.

I think A to Z looks cute

State of Affairs sounds like a bomb to me. What kinda of poor Scandal/Homeland mash-up? Smh
