FOX has revealed its 2009-2010 television schedule. As usual, it is broken into two parts: fall 2009 and winter 2010. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is nowhere to be found and has been officially cancelled. In a surprising move, however, the network has renewed Dollhouse for a second season. It will remain on Fridays at 9PM following a new sitcom, Brothers, and a returning sitcom, ‘Til Death. Fringe moves to Thursday at 9PM for its second season after Bones. Premiering in mid season is Human Target, a new drama based on the DC Comics character.
Read all about FOX’s 2009-2010 schedule at the futon critic, Variety and The Live Feed. Hit the comments with your thoughts. Will Dollhouse sink even lower in the Nielsen ratings in its second season? Should FOX have renewed Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles instead? Can Fringe survive without additional boosts from American Idol?

I’m obviously biased, but I think FOX made a huge mistake. Terminator was one of their most quality shows, in my opinion…and I still maintain that the show would’ve, if properly advertised, received a boost from Terminator Salvation.
But, of course, by sending the show to Fridays, they were sending it to its death. We all saw this coming a long time ago, but we were all sort of hoping that the show’s quality (and apparently low cost) would save it.
I can’t believe that Dollhouse got renewed when I’ve heard nothing but bad things (and from Joss fans). Terminator could’ve done a lot with 13 episodes, and I wish it’d been given a similar chance.
But FOX is known for really dumb decisions, and this is just another to add to that is.

It truly sucketh that Fox put Fringe opposite another show I watch on Thursdays, puts a real dilemma there…
