A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

DR. FUNKE'S GOOD TIME VARIETY HOUR DIDN'T MAKE THE CUT: As usual, Fox's new schedule is needlessly and ridiculously complicated, with almost every show reshuffling timeslots in January to make way for American Idol 5. The bullet points:

• Arrested Development is given the virtually competition-free Monday at 8 slot, against Wife Swap, 7th Heaven, Fathom, and King of Queens, which could and should bode well for its future--however, it's slated to finish its run in the fall--it's not on the January schedule.
• In January, suprise hit House moves to Monday nights at 8, followed by another "non-stop" season of 24.
• Other new shows of potential interest include Kitchen Confidential, a comedy starring Bradley Cooper of Alias and Jack & Bobby as a chef, Prison Break, a 24-esque drama about, well, a prison break, Head Cases, in which Chris O'Donnell and Adam Goldberg play "slightly unhinged lawyers," and Reunion, a high-concept series in which each week's episode follows one year in the life of a group of high school friends.
