Fox is the latest broadcaster to unveil its schedule for the 2017-18 TV season, and herewith is the major headline: Cookie is moving into TV's family hour.

This fall, Empire will move into Wednesday's lead-off position (from 9 pm, where it's been since launching three seasons ago). Quasi-companion series Star will follow Empire at 9 pm. [pmc_inline_gallery]
