Genre TV 2

FOX will keep 24 for two more years, but like this season, it will not return until January. They keep their animation block of King of the Hill, The Simpsons, American Dad and Family Guy. Former Angel star David Boreanaz returns to TV in a darkly comic series called Bones, which is about a forensic anthropologist, and is based on real-life novelist Kathy Reichs medical career. Provided the show does not tank by winter, it will benefit from the lead in of American Idol, which also returns in January. Kitchen Confidential returns former Buffy star Nicholas Brendon in a comedy based loosely on the best selling book by chef Anthony Bourdain. Finally, UPN -for the first time in it’s ten year existence -offers no genre programming after canceling the anemic Star Trek: Enterprise. Still, they did bring back Veronica Mars. But that maybe the only thing worth watching, but it’s up against Lost. So watch it while you can, folks.
