It's one of the most stable Fox slates in sometime. Sunday returns unchanged. Bones kicks off Monday for a few weeks before they ship it to Friday and bring in the sci-fi drama, Almost Human. The new Sleepy Hollow ends the night. Tuesday is comedy for Fox, starting with the new Dads and Brooklyn Nine-Nine. New Girl and The Mindy Project follow them. Fox could have an issue if the 8pm comedy hour doesn't catch on. Wednesday and the first half of Thursday is for The X Factor (and then Season 13 of American Idol starting in January). Glee rounds out Thursday, now in Season 5. MasterChef Junior begins a six-week run before a double helping of Raising Hope.

In addition to Almost Human, Fox has three dramas, three sitcoms and one animated show, all unscheduled, but ready for midseason or when something tanks.

With The X Factor never really achieving its expected heights, and Idol being rather long in the tooth, Fox could really use a breakout hit. They're stable, but faltering.
