Fox Shuffles 2008 Schedule, Pulls 24

Fox’s revised 2008 schedule kicks off January 13 and 14 with the series premiere of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles continues on the 15th with the two-night return of American Idol. TV Guide Online is reporting that the seventh season premiere of 24 is being postponed to ensure that Day 7 can air uninterrupted, in its entirety. And instead of taking a four-month break after the December 17 “fall finale,” Prison Break will take a break after this Monday’s airing, then return with new episodes starting January 14.
