Remember that big long scheduling post we put up for you last month? Forget it. Fox is moving stuff around, most particularly Touch and Bones, which some of you care about but doesn’t have anything to do with us except that it is taking the Monday slot that Touch was going to take.

Before you panic, here’s the main thing: as of right now, neither Fringe nor Alcatraz are affected by this schedule upheaval.

Here’s the before and after:

Before:

Touch had a 13-episode order, so that starts on March 12th with an “encore presentation” (repeat of the February “sneak peek”) of the Pilot and presumably runs straight through June 4th, but it’s always possible there’ll be a double-episode night, and/or it may skip Memorial Day.

Now:

TOUCH will world premiere Thursday, March 22 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), following AMERICAN IDOL results shows (8:00-9:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed), with an encore presentation (repeat of the February sneak peek) of the TOUCH preview episode Thursday, March 15 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT).

What this means: No biggie. Touch will be a Thursday show instead of a Monday show. The one problem with that is, as Fringe fans will remember when Fringe was on Thursdays,  that sometimes the American Idol results show runs long, so you need to monitor your DVRs if you can’t watch live, or just make sure that your recording is set to run long just in case.

Once Alcatraz finishes its season 1 run, House will move from 8 to 9 and Bones will take the 8:00 slot.

Of course none of this has much if anything to do with the Daytona 500 preemption of Alcatraz last night; we’ll keep you posted about that as well.

Here’s the press release:

FOX announces revisions to its Monday and Thursday spring schedule, as well as the air date for FOX’s 25th ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL and the addition of a HOUSE retrospective leading into the show’s momentous series finale.

TOUCH, the distinctive new drama created by Tim Kring (“Heroes”) and starring Kiefer Sutherland (“24”), will world premiere Thursday, March 22 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), following AMERICAN IDOL results shows (8:00-9:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed). Don’t miss an encore of the TOUCH preview episode Thursday, March 15 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT).

On Monday, April 2 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT), BONES moves to a new night and time. In the spring premiere, an expectant Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and Booth (David Boreanaz) are at odds over plans for the upcoming birth of their daughter. Meanwhile, a neighborhood is on edge when remains are found in the sewer, clogging up local plumbing lines.

Also on Monday, April 2, HOUSE moves to a new time (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) with all-new episodes leading up to House’s final diagnosis. A retrospective special looking back at the last eight years of the seminal series will air Monday, May 21 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT), followed by the thrilling series finale (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT). Additional details regarding the special to be announced soon.

FOX’s 25th ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL is set to air Sunday, April 22 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT). The exciting event will celebrate the shows and the stars of FOX’s 25-year history, from its earliest days as a bold, brazen upstart to its current standing as the No. 1 network among Adults 18-49.
THE FINDER will have its spring finale Thursday, March 8 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) and will return later in the season with all-new episodes. The arresting two-hour ALCATRAZ season finale will air Monday, March 26 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT).

Alcatraz airs Monday nights at 9/8c on Fox.
Touch will premiere with new episodes on Thursday, March 22 at 9/8c on Fox.
