But despite Anthony Anderson starring in the New Orleans cop drama K-Ville, the Terminator-derived Sarah Connor Chronicles, and the combination of Parker Posey and Lauren Ambrose in the anti-Gilmore Girls drama The Return of Jessica James, and Julianna Margulies in the Denis Leary-produced Canterbury's Law-- not to mention word that 24 will be around for at least two more long days-- the big star of the coming season is Kelsey Grammer, who'll return to prime time with real-life Fox News style conservative Patricia Heaton (Everybody Loves Raymond) in the "bickering news anchors" sitcom Back To You.
Why?
Wasn't all those years punching the clock as Frasier Crane enough? Is his wife's irritable bowel syndrome so bad that he needs to get out of the house?
Anyway... Fox's 2007-2008 schedules... after the jump...
