It's almost not fair for Fox to hold their Upfront presentation the same day as NBC's. The difference between the networks is night and day, with Fox premiering a handful of huge, splashy new shows while boasting their many existing hits and 7-years-at-number-one track record, while NBC is trying to bounce back from a completely failed 2010 programming slate with an entirely new one and only one certified ratings hit in The Voice. So, even though quite a few of Fox's new shows look abysmal, I really can't feel too sorry for them. Let's take a look at what's new.

Katherine Heigl's taking another break, but this time it's for a better reason than last time.

Before CBS officially fired Charlie Sheen this week, there had been some talk that maybe Chuck Lorre could step away from day-to-day production of Two and a Half Men as a way of keeping the peace if Charlie were to come back. We here at TWoP still think the idea of getting rid of Lorre is pretty good, even if Sheen is already gone, and we have some suggestions about who should replace both of them.

It is as though the good lord has been peeking in at my dreams. Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane has partnered with Google to produce a new series of two minute animated web shows called Seth MacFarlane's Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy. (As an aside, you guys are aware that web shows are the new black, right?) This is good news for the attention deficit cartoon-o-philes among us. In fact, I'd venture a guess that the majority of cartoon-o-philes by definition have a goodly touch of the ADHD, being that we all have the emotional maturity of a seven-year old and think that Corn Pops is a perfectly good dinner. All of MacFarlane's good bits are 2 minutes or under anyway. In fact, some of the best ones are no longer than 7 seconds.
