making some major scheduling moves last year with shifting _American Idol_ to
Wednesdays and Thursdays and launching a _Glee_-anchored comedy block on
Tuesdays, the network is expected to bet on stability this year, especially
after both gambles this season largely paid off. _Idol_ is expected to keep
its Wednesday-Thursday airing pattern, which would be mirrored in the fall by
_X Factor_, whose 90-minute Wednesday show will probably be used to launch a
new comedy the way _American Idol_ has done it. I hear the most anticipated
new Fox series, prehistoric drama _Terra Nova_, which had been rumored to
launch either on Monday or Thursday, looks Monday-bound. Conventional wisdom
has it that Fox should use a reliable performer like _House_ to launch its
highest-profile new series, and that has been the scenario most speculated
about. But, _Terra Nova_ has tested great as a four-quadrant show with a very
broad appeal, so I won't be surprised if Fox decides to make a switch and put
_Terra Nova_ at 8 PM to capture the family audience. _Terra Nova_ doesn't
really need a lead-in - after all ...
