Upfronts 2009: Fox – Bones, Dollhouse Return; Sarah Connor Canceled

Fox unveiled their 2009-2010 schedule today, although much of it had already leaked late last week. Here’s the scoop as it pertains to the Nice Girls:

Staying

Bones – The banter continues for two more seasons after Fox decided to ensure a place for Brennan, Booth and the Squints for the foreseeable future.

Dollhouse – This was a shocker, but in a good way! We’ll get at least another 13 episodes of Joss Whedon and Eliza Dushku’s foray into what human identity is all about.

Fringe – 2008’s most anticipated new show gets a sophomore season to delve even deeper into, well, whatever it is that’s going on there in Boston.

Coming

Glee – We’re looking forward to this tale of glee-club nerds at a midwestern high school. It’s inspirational and full of catchy songs waiting to be iTunes hits, plus it’s from Ryan Murphy, creator of Popular! Catch a sneak peek tomorrow after American Idol.

Human Target – Starring Mark Valley, last seen sharing memories with real-life wife Anna Torv on Fringe, the show is an adaptation of the comic book series by the same name. The premise is that Valley’s character, Christopher Chance, is a bodyguard who actually impersonates his clients in order to stay between them and danger. Definitely worth a look.

Going

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles – It was an ambitious undertaking and there are still stories to tell, but even Thomas Dekker couldn’t save this show.

Fox’s 2009-2010 Schedule

Looks like Fox is going after the CBS/ABC Thursday domination hard core next season! They’re airing Bones and Fringe on Thursdays. It’s a logical pairing, but it sure does make Thursdays a busy night for the Nice Girls.
