http://blogs.trb.com/network/foxfix/ The ultimate unofficial source for Fox news and gossip! en Copyright 2010 Wed, 10 Feb 2010 10:56:09 -0600 http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/?v=4.1 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Have you been itching for a chance to show your devotion to your favorite FOX characters? Now you have not one but two chances to do just that!

The fine folks at KDVR in Denver are hosting a Battle of the FOX Hotties as we speak. Right now, the Women's bracket is up, but you can still vote in the Men's bracket as well. The second phase of the Men's competition launches Friday, and the second round of Women's matches goes up on Tuesday, February 18 -- so get voting!

Then there's an all networks battle to the death over at the South Florida Sun Sentinel, where CW stars are going up against the juggernauts from the other four broadcast networks. The Bad Boys division (which includes Puck and Peter Bishop -- and Puck is currently losing) is already off the front page, but you can still vote. Keep checking this page throughout the next month to support your fave stars!

* We know, we know -- there are those among you who sneer at such things, who protest that we should focus on the content of the shows and the nuances of the acting rather than the exterior facade of the people who bring our favorite characters to life. And we like to think we do that here... but that doesn't stop us from being able to celebrate the aesthetic pleasures these folks bring to bear. Are we shallow? Maybe. But we are having fun!]]> http://blogs.trb.com/network/foxfix/2010/02/fox-fans-defend-the-hottness-h.html http://blogs.trb.com/network/foxfix/2010/02/fox-fans-defend-the-hottness-h.html 24 Wed, 10 Feb 2010 10:56:09 -0600 It'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!

It's just too heartbreaking to see chef after chef on his show, Hell's Kitchen, butcher this beloved dish. So that's it: It's off the menu.

"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. ]]> http://blogs.trb.com/network/foxfix/2009/01/hells-kitchen-ramsay-says-thes.html http://blogs.trb.com/network/foxfix/2009/01/hells-kitchen-ramsay-says-thes.html Hell's Kitchen Thu, 29 Jan 2009 16:05:40 -0600
