Fox's "revised" 2008 schedule kicks off Jan. 13 and 14 with the series premiere of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and starts cooking with gas on the 15th with the two-night return of that singing show known as American Idol, but now is experiencing a Bauer outage. "The seventh season premiere of 24 is being postponed," explains the network, "to ensure that Day 7 can air uninterrupted, in its entirety." Fair 'nuff.

Another jaw-dropper: instead of taking a four-month breather following a Dec. 17 "fall finale," Prison Break will take a break after this Monday's airing, then return with new episodes starting Jan. 14.

沪江小编：因为“美编”罢工，所以电视台的时间表也只能一调再调，眼下，福克斯电视台又“修正”（想象一下兔耳手势^^）了2008年的时间表。《24小时》要延期播出，而《越狱》本应有四个月的冬眠期，结果因祸得福明年一月将继续播出，也许现在正是《越狱》吉星高照的时候。
