Returning shows on FOX: Get the Scoop on Fringe, Lie to Me, Dollhouse, Terminator, SYTYCD and More!

fox-returning.gifIt's official! We now have the FOX Network TV schedule for 2009-2010, so let the discussion begin!

First, the good news: Some of our favorite shows are returning. Fringe and Lie to Me, the two strongest freshman series, continue to see the network love, as we already knew. Lie to Me moves to Monday night, following House. It's a night of prickly, insulting-yet-adorable geniuses with parental issues and complicated love lives! Just imagine a crossover between those shows -- Lightman as patient, picking up every lie that House and his minions told, or House trying to diagnose weird medical reasons Loker's pathological honesty.

We get two different takes on the FBI on Thursday, as Fringe jumps nights to follow Bones. Twice the horrific corpse effects, twice the fun! Could Booth and Brennan's will they/won't they dance be part of The Pattern? Will Brennan ever be called in to identify some particularly gnarly remains that Olivia, Walter and Peter stumble over? We know, it's unlikely, but this is the sort of thing that keeps us up at night. We need help.

Find out the fate of Dollhouse, Terminator, So You Think You Can Dance and more after the jump!

Hell's Kitchen: Ramsay Says These Are The Best Chefs Yet

"I've thrown the towel in.  I'm so frustrated.  That dish cooks itself.  I know how to do it perfectly.  Even my children know how to do it perfectly.  So when I see these muppets messing around, and all they have to do is prep it perfectly and it cooks itself --you don't touch it, you don't sear it, you don't season it, it's just done... I'm taking it off now.  Hands down, no more Wellington."

But that's the only disappointment Ramsay ran into with this season's crop of chefs. This is the strongest field he's ever encountered on Hell's Kitchen. "I will stick my neck out on this one and say the top four contestants this year could have quite easily won in any of the previous years," Ramsay says.
