On Tuesday FOX released its summer schedule. Notable inclusions: Glee returns to the airwaves April 13 and will run straight to its finale on Tuesday, June 8. It will be paired with So You Think You Can Dance (returns Thursday, May 27) in the 9PM time slot during the first two weeks of June. Lie to Me has been on haitus for a while now and won’t return until Monday, June 7 at 8PM. This does not bode well for the show; there has to be a reason why FOX decided to hold off a spring return (low ratings?). Lie to Me will be paired with a new show from Matt Nix (the creator of Burn Notice) called The Good Guys. Then there’s Past Life, which is all but dead. The remaining unaired episodes will air Fridays at 8PM. IGN took the words right out of my mouth: “What’s worse than airing on FOX on Fridays? Airing on FOX on Fridays in the summer.” Hells Kitchen returns Thursday, June 10 at 8PM. Look after the break for the full schedule.
