FOX has enlisted Jerry O’Connell, host of the network’s game show “Pictionary,” to profile their upcoming winter lineup. “The FOX Winter Preview,” airing Sunday, December 29, 2024, at 9:32 PM EST, offers a glimpse into FOX’s mid-season offerings, which include a mix of returning favorites and hopeful newcomers.
Returning shows like “Animal Control,” “Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test,” and Gordon Ramsay’s reliably rage-filled “Kitchen Nightmares” will vie for attention alongside new entries. Among them are “Doc,” a medical drama whose title suggests a profound lack of imagination, and “Going Dutch,” a military comedy starring Denis Leary. Whether Leary can recapture the magic of “Rescue Me” in a military setting is a question only time (and possibly a lot of yelling) can answer.
This preview special, featuring the usual mix of sizzle reels, celebrity cameos (Gordon Ramsay and Denise Richards are slated to appear), and O’Connell’s signature brand of affable enthusiasm, should be fun. The inclusion of Super Bowl LIX coverage is less a preview and more a reminder that FOX still holds the keys to one of television’s biggest events.
