]]> thisplaceisdeath1 What, you thought FOX was merely content to kill its own sci-fi shows? No, the network is now setting its aim on former ABC juggernaut Lost. The Hollywood Reporter’s James Hibberd tells us American Idol is moving to 9 p.m. Wednesday nights, putting it head to head with Lost for the rest of the season.

ABC’s former watercooler show is losing viewers weekly and having a heavyweight like Idol move into the same timeslot is not good news. FOX’s new project Lie To Me will move to 8 p.m. Wednesdays. The Tim Roth vehicle has more than held its own against Lost, so it makes sense FOX would want to see what it does without any big competition.

I’m a Tim Roth fan, but sheesh. Taking into account Psych and The Mentalist, Lie to Me gives us three TV shows on the air right now about a guy that can tell who the criminal in the room is just by looking at them. Yet  somehow shows like Sarah Connor can’t draw an audience. Dismayed sigh.
