Fox is in a little bit of trouble. Last season's debut of The X Factor definitely underwhelmed in numbers and buzz. American Idol is overhauling its entire so-called judges panel and the numbers are down. Lucky for them, New Girl was last year's bonafide hit and they might have another one with The Mindy Project. They rearranged some furniture by moving Bones to Monday, Glee to Thursday and Touch to Friday, but they all work. It also looks like they actually have a legitimate two-hour comedy block on Tuesday if the new Ben & Kate works. (I'm 60/40 on yes.)

The Mindy Project is in the running for "winning" new sitcom with CBS' Partners. I actually like The Mob Doctor concept, but the slot worries me. Fox can no longer rely on Idol as its done for the past decade. The X Factor is not the answer, even with the retooling Simon Cowell supposedly did in the offseason. They still have an intensely loyal Sunday animation following, but they need more like New Girl and a new drama as well.
