In a shocking strategy that will no doubt warm the blackened spirits of WGA West members, Fox is ordering up more carbon-based comedy series. "We're doubling down our commitment to comedy, and we're rebuilding the live-action comedy brand," says Fox Entertainment president Kevin Reilly.

Five comedy pilots are slated for the Fall, including a reboot of the sci-fi comedy Boldly Going Nowhere and Virtuality, presumably to pick up disillusioned Big Bang Theory fans. Getting the axe is Prison Break, no doubt a disappointment to its millions of gay and European devotees.

Sadly, King of the Hill won't be making its return either, replaced by Mitch Hurwitz's animated Sit Down, Shut Up in the post-Simpsons slot.
