FOX Canceled In Living Color Reboot

[img:$uid]http://i.usatoday.net/communitymanager/_photos/Live-From/2012/07/23/fox-execs-reillyx-inset-community.jpg[/img:$uid]

While much of the chatter Monday was about Fox's dueling talent shows, American Idol and X Factor, entertainment chief Kevin Reilly had updates about the network's scripted slate.

Glee will toggle between New York, where McKinley High's graduates move to study acting, and Ohio, where other students remain. "We will be in both locations in most (episodes)," Reilly says. "There is not a rigid formula. At one point we thought we'd split the season down the middle," focusing on the transplants in one half and high schoolers in the other, but that would prove "jarring," he says. "I don't think that's the way fans want to watch the show."

The network has three new series for fall: drama The Mob Doctor and two comedies, The Mindy Project and Ben & Kate. But its biggest hopes rest with The Following, a drama due in January that stars Kevin Bacon as a coaxed-from-retirement agent tracking a cult of serial killers led by James Purefoy. (Bacon's contract limits the series to 15 episodes a season.)

And two retreads won't see the light of day. Seth MacFarlane's Flintstones reboot is being scuttled. And Reilly indicated that planned In Living Color specials, reviving the sketch-comedy series, won't air anytime soon. Though several have been shot, he says there's a "high bar," so don't look for a new version of Jamie Foxx, Jim Carrey and Damon Wayans.

Fox's chief talks 'Glee,'...nd 'Mindy'

Damn, that was fast.

This was the lineup for the reboot

Fox can kiss my ass.

This is the second time Keenen has been screwed over by the network. The Wayans should never do business with Fox again.

I doubt it would've been any good, anyway.

Idon't count his talk show. I knew it wouldn't last with Magic and Vibe goin for the same market. 3 Minority shows coming on at the same time will not last.

Look what happened to Mo'Nique and George Lopez the last few seasons.
