Fox shuffles around its fall schedule on Dish Network

Fox has been shuffling around it's upcoming fall schedule, so here's what DISH customers need to know to make sure you won't miss your most anticipated new shows. First up is "Brothers", a new half-hour comedy about recently retired NFL player Mike Trainor (Michael Strahan - a real life former defensive end for the New York Giants) who must go from living the high life in New York City to his home back in Houston.

Once there, he must help his wheelchair-bound brother (Darryl "Chill" Mitchell) keep his restaurant afloat after being recently paralyzed in a car accident. Mike's parents are played by CCH Pounder ("The Shield") and Carl Weathers (Rocky, Predator). Fox had initially scheduled "Brothers" to premiere, but has since pushed it up, where it will debut with two back-to-back episodes starting. Then, starting , "Brothers" will be followed by the returning sitcom "'Til Death", starring Brad Garrett. Following "Brothers" will be the debut of the second season of "Dollhouse".

This sci-fi series, penned by Joss Whedon of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" fame, stars Eliza Dushku as Echo. Echo is part of a group called "Actives" or "Dolls", which are people whose personalities and existence in the outside world have been wiped clean so they can be imprinted with any number of new personas to carry out tasks or fantasies. The series follows Echo in her plight as she struggles to become self-aware and regain control of her mind. Also, in a new move for the network, Fox will air the first ever fall season of "So You Think You Can Dance."

Normally this ratings giant airs only during the summer, however, for the sixth season, Fox has decided to air a fall outing almost immediately following the end of its fifth season summer run. The season premiere of "Dance" will be Immediately following "Dance" will be the season premiere of "Glee." Dish Network viewers may remember Fox rolled out the pilot of "Glee" back in May following the finale of "American Idol." Though untraditional, this was a good way for Fox to capitalize on the massive lead-in audience of "Idol." A special extended encore of "Glee"'s pilot episode will air.
