THE TVLINE BOTTOM LINE: Yes, it’s true: 9-1-1: Lone Star — Fox’s most-watched non-sports program — has just three episodes left to air. (The 9-1-1 offshoot would rank ahead of Grey’s Anatomy on ABC’s report card, I’m just saying.) A stabilized Masked Singer and newly christened Super Bowl lead-out The Floor are reliable performers. Looking at the state of animation above, you have to imagine that serious conversations are being had about the ‘toons currently in flux at Fox. On deck for January/February are new seasons of Animal Control, Kitchen Nightmares, Special Forces and Next Level Chef, plus the freshman series Doc and Going Dutch; still MIA are the next seasons of Family Guy, The Cleaning Lady and Alert: MPU.

Which of Fox’s rankings most surprises or pleases you?
