Changes for the FOX mid-season schedule include Glee moving to TUESDAYS! The winter hiatus will be shorter than anticipated. The musical comedy will be back on the schedule Tuesday February 25 at 8/7c PM.
Hm. I wonder if moving back to 8 pm means the content will have to be toned down. The last time Glee moved from Thusdays at 9 to Tuesdays at 8, there was a discernable change in tone. We’ll see.
No changes to the American Idol schedule It will return to FOX on Wednesday, January 15.
Check out the new schedule below:

Making his broadcast television series debut, Academy Award nominee and Emmy Award winner Greg Kinnear (“Little Miss Sunshine,” “The Kennedys”) plays a brilliant and frustratingly charming criminal defense attorney, whose chaotic and self-destructive personal life often gets in the way of his professional one.
