Having renewed both “Lie to Me” and “Human Target” for next season, there had been talk that the lukewarm dramas would share a Friday night location. The idea behind the story was that both shows have fanbases to make Friday success possible, but if they failed, FOX would not be losing two of its more prominent series in the process.<\/p>\n
When push came to shove, FOX only moved one of its shows to the dangerous timeslot, and it was “Human Target.”<\/p>\n
The Mark Valley vehicle has been slotted at 8PM on Fridays, leading into series “The Good Guys,” which is set to bow this summer. “Lie to Me” moves to Wednesdays at 8PM, where it will lead into veteran “Hell’s Kitchen.”<\/p>\n
FOX picked up a number of new series for next season, but only a handful made it onto the fall roster. Monday’s 8PM tentpole “House” will lead into new drama “Lonestar,” while comedies “Raising Hope” and “Running Wilde” will air at 9PM and 9:30PM, respectively, after receiving support from Tuesdays’ “Glee.”<\/p>\n

ROBERT\/BOB ALLEN (newcomer James Wolk) is a charismatic and brilliant schemer who has meticulously constructed two lives in two different parts of Texas. He\u2019s juggling two identities and two women in two very different worlds \u2013 all under one mountain of lies. As \u201cBob,\u201d he lives in Houston and is married to CAT (Adrianne Palicki, \u201cFriday Night Lights\u201d), the beautiful daughter of CLINT (Jon Voight, 24, \u201cMidnight Cowboy\u201d), the patriarch of an ultra-wealthy Texas oil family. More than 400 miles away in the suburban west Texas town of Midland, he\u2019s \u201cRobert,\u201d living a second life with his sweet, na\u00efve girlfriend, LINDSAY (Eloise Mumford, \u201cMercy,\u201d \u201cLaw & Order: SVU\u201d). In Midland, he plays the perfect boyfriend while secretly bilking local investors of their savings. In Houston, he\u2019s a devoted husband, charming Cat and her family to cement his position in the rich family business he aims to clean out. Bob has lived both lives successfully for years without arousing any suspicions\u2026so far. While one brother-in-law, DREW (Bryce Johnson, \u201cPopular,\u201d \u201cThe Mentalist\u201d), admires Bob, his other brother-in-law, TRAMMELL (Mark Deklin, \u201cNip\/Tuck,\u201d \u201cDesperate Housewives\u201d), is suspicious of his motives. Bob begins to fear his secret lives may unravel. With the cons closing in on him, Bob is divided by his love for two women; his loyalty to his father and mentor, JOHN (David Keith, \u201cAn Officer and a Gentleman,\u201d \u201cThe Class\u201d); and his respect for his father-in-law, Clint. Now as he tries to hold his two lives together, while fending off angry investors and the suspicions of those around him, Bob puts it all on the line hoping he can beat the odds, leave the schemes behind and keep two separate relationships afloat.

At 23 years old, JIMMY CHANCE (Lucas Neff, \u201cThe Beast\u201d) is going nowhere in life. He skims pools for a living, parties every night and still lives at home with his family, including his MAW MAW (guest star Academy Award and Emmy Award winner Cloris Leachman); his mother, VIRGINIA (Martha Plimpton, \u201cHow to Make It in America\u201d); his father, BURT (Garret Dillahunt, \u201cTerminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles,\u201d \u201cDamages\u201d); and his cousin, MIKE (Skyler Stone, \u201cThe Mentalist,\u201d \u201cDollhouse\u201d). Jimmy\u2019s life takes a drastic turn when a chance romantic encounter with LUCY (guest star Bijou Phillips, \u201cChoke,\u201d \u201cAlmost Famous\u201d) goes awry once he discovers she is a wanted felon. Months later, when Jimmy pays a visit to the local prison, he discovers Lucy gave birth to their baby, who he is now charged with raising. At home with his new daughter, Jimmy\u2019s family is less than enthusiastic about a new addition to the household. His parents, who had him when they were 15, never knew anything about raising a child and have no interest in trying again. If Jimmy can work up the nerve to ask her out on a date, he might get some help from SABRINA (Shannon Woodward, \u201cThe Riches,\u201d \u201cER\u201d), a sardonic checkout clerk he met at the supermarket. Cousin Mike is only concerned about how the baby is going to affect their social life, and out-of-touch Maw Maw is no help either. But Jimmy is determined to take care of his baby \u2013 whom Virginia thinks they should name HOPE. With very few useful skills but their hearts in the right place, will the Chance family be successful when they step into the unpredictable and immensely challenging world of parenting? <\/p>\n PRODUCTION COMPANIES: Amigos de Garcia Productions, 20th Century Fox Television<\/p>\n EXECUTIVE PRODUCER\/WRITER: Greg Garcia<\/p>\n DIRECTOR: Michael Fresco<\/p>\n CAST: Garret Dillahunt as Burt, Lucas Neff as Jimmy, Martha Plimpton as Virginia, Skyler Stone as Mike, Shannon Woodward as Sabrina<\/p>\n GUEST CAST: Cloris Leachman as Maw Maw, Bijou Phillips as Lucy <\/p>\n RUNNING WILDE<\/p>\n From the Emmy Award-winning creator and the star of the critically acclaimed FOX series \u201cArrested Development\u201d comes RUNNING WILDE, a romantic comedy starring Will Arnett (\u201cArrested Development,\u201d \u201c30 Rock\u201d) as STEVE WILDE, a filthy-rich, immature playboy trying desperately to win (or buy) the heart of his childhood sweetheart, EMMY KADUBIC (Keri Russell, \u201cWaitress,\u201d \u201cFelicity\u201d), the \u00fcber-liberal humanitarian who got away \u2013 all told through the perspective of a 12-year-old girl. Steve Wilde has never performed a selfless act. But why should he \u2013 he\u2019s rich! The son of an oil tycoon, Steve hasn\u2019t had to work a day in his life and has always gotten everything he\u2019s wanted \u2013 with one exception: the love of Emmy. The daughter of a former Wilde housekeeper, Emmy is an earnest do-gooder who has spent her adult life trying to save the world. And though Emmy is content living with an indigenous tribe in the Amazon rainforest, her 12-year-old daughter, PUDDLE (Stefania Owen, \u201cThe Lovely Bones\u201d), just wants to be a normal kid experiencing her adolescence in a normal place. And she would speak up except for the fact that she hasn\u2019t spoken in years. When Wilde Oil\u2019s expansion in the rainforest threatens her adopted tribe, Emmy decides to attend Steve\u2019s self-thrown \u201cHumanitarian of the Year\u201d award ceremony in hopes of convincing him to help her cause\u2026and also maybe because she still has a thing for Steve. But same-old Steve is unwilling to help because fighting Wilde Oil (a\/k\/a Dad) means putting his meal ticket in jeopardy. Rather than run the risk of letting Emmy slip away again, Steve pulls out all the stops to win her heart. To do so, he enlists the only other people in his life who can help: MIGO SALAZAR (Joe Nu\u00f1ez, \u201cSuperbad,\u201d \u201cPrison Break\u201d), Steve\u2019s employee\/sidekick\/errand-boy, and GERTIE STELLVERTRETTER (Jayne Houdyshell, \u201cLaw & Order\u201d), Steve\u2019s nanny-turned-head-of-security as well as the biggest protector of Steve\u2026and her own job. Despite having everything he ever wanted, Steve knows he can\u2019t buy love and happiness, which falls in sharp contrast to Emmy, who has nothing but love and happiness. So with Emmy committed to doing good for nothing, and Steve being a good for nothing, will this hopelessly mismatched pair ever be able to reconcile their differences?
