\n\tFox<\/a>\u2019s midseason lineup will look substantially different from its fall schedule.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe network revealed its midseason premiere dates, and while there are a few carryovers from the fall\u00a0\u2014\u00a0Doc anchoring Tuesday nights, animation on Sundays (though that lineup is shuffling as well) and a Gordon Ramsay show on Thursdays \u2014\u00a0the schedule will feature different programming in about half of its 15 weekly primetime hours. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe slate includes the return of American Dad<\/a>! to Fox, where it began its life before moving to TBS for more than a decade. The animated show from Seth MacFarlane will premiere Feb. 22, where it will join Family Guy<\/a> (which debuts a week earlier) and the ongoing Universal Basic Guys. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe Simpsons will conclude its 37th season on Feb. 15, with the show\u2019s milestone 800th episode in its usual 8 p.m. spot and the season finale at 8:30. Fox\u2019s four-season pickup<\/a> of the series earlier this year included shortening those seasons to 15 episodes each; the previous two had 18 episodes, and for most of The Simpsons\u2019 life a season meant 20 or more. Family Guy will move to the 8 p.m. spot on Feb. 22 and get double runs at 8 and 9:30 for four weeks, before the previously announced Biblical miniseries The Faithful<\/a> premieres March 22.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Masked Singer<\/a> will have a two-hour premiere on Jan. 7, then scale back to its usual hour-long format the following week. The Johnny Knoxville-hosted Fear Factor: House of Fear will pair with it starting Jan. 14.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn the scripted side, Best Medicine<\/a> \u2014 an adaptation of the British series Doc Martin that stars Josh Charles \u2014\u00a0will premiere on Jan. 6 and pair with Doc on Tuesdays. Memory of a Killer<\/a>, starring Patrick Dempsey, debuts Jan. 26 following the survival competition Extracted. Live-action comedies Animal Control and Going Dutch are set for Jan. 15 and will follow the final two episodes of Hell\u2019s Kitchen and Next Level Chef (which debuts Jan. 29) on Thursday nights.<\/p>\n
