FOX Unveils New Shows

"Lonestar" is about a man in Texas married to the daughter of an oil baron (played by Jon Voight), but who is also shacking up with a woman elsewhere in the state. If you're thinking "Dallas" meets "Big Love," well, maybe.

"Ride-Along" is a midseason drama from Shawn Ryan ("The Shield," "The Unit") about Chicago cops (it's shot on location, too). It stars Jason Clarke, Jennifer Beals and Delroy Lindo.

"Terra Nova," the Spielberg epic, is also a midseason series and is being billed by Fox as "an epic family adventure" that "follows an ordinary family on an extraordinary journey back in time to prehistoric Earth as a part of a massive expedition to save the human race."

"Running Wilde," the much-anticipated new fall comedy from "Arrested Development" creator Mitch Hurwitz and writer Jim Vallely, stars Will Arnett, also from "Arrested Development," and Keri Russell ("Waitress," "Felicity"). He's rich, immature and obnoxious, she's his childhood sweetheart whom he's now trying to romance.

"Raising Hope" is a fall comedy from Greg Garcia ("My Name Is Earl"), starring Lucas Neff ("The Beast") as a single guy without much motivation who gets a woman pregnant - and that woman is going to be in prison. So he raises the baby with his dysfunctional family. Also starring Martha Plimpton and Cloris Leachman.

"Bob's Burgers" is an animated series that is remarkably not from Seth MacFarlane, slated to air in midseason. It's from Loren Bouchard ("Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist," etc.) and revolves around a family that runs a burger restaurant. Again, don't judge a series on paper.

"Mixed Signals" is an ensemble comedy also penciled in for midseason. It's about what almost every other comedy is about these days - single people trying to navigate relationships.
