In spite of the exciting news that Gob Bluth will be returning to FOX, we think the most interesting tidbits that came out of the FOX announcements have to do with the network's established shows.
American Idol will be getting rid of some of the guest performers and cutting down the results show to 30 minutes,
Glee will get the coveted post-Super Bowl slot and there will blessedly not be a fall season of
So You Think You Can Dance.
Here are the full fall and mid-season schedules from FOX, complete with new show synopses:
