Which FOX shows would you save?

Considering most are more bad than good, we’re only interested in the ones worth saving. So far all have been renewed but Rake, Dads, Surviving Jack, Almost Human and Family Guy. And that is quite shocking considering how bad these shows are.

Rake
Glee
Dads
The Mindy Project
Surviving Jack
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
New Girl
Bob’s Burgers
Bones
The Following
Almost Human
Sleepy Hollow
The Simpsons
Family Guy

I would send them all on a one way trip to China, except for Family Guy.
My score for FOX 10 out of 100 F
 
Surviving Jack is good. I don't care for any of the remainder, except perhaps Dads.

They can't bring back Cops and AMW for the weeks when they don't air sports? They've even shifted the Saturday MLB Games, for the most part to FS1, and MLB Player Poll, the successor to 'This Week in Baseball' is gone too. With the exception of the forthcoming '24' reboot, MLB Playoffs and the NFL, there's not much to watch on Fox.
 
Rake I want to see live, even though I know deep down its destined to be toast. Almost Human started off way promising, then got really dull. C'mon, get FX to retool or save one of these.

Most of those shows I really like or am not so opposed to sitting through to get to the show I want (no DVR yet). Really, the only shows I don't have any use for are The Following (I think I could handle fictional world of The Walking Dead more than this show's, which says more about me than anything), Glee, Dads, and Surviving Jack (forgotten/haven't seen it, despite being intrigued by Christopher Meloni in a sitcom.)
 
Bones, The Simpsons. Anything else can go. Fox sucks (except for NASCAR and NFL).
UPDATED - Cosmos as well. That is probably one of Fox's best shows in a while - and has that "PBS" theme to it.

P.S. This was post #6000 for me! 8/17/2008 to 4/11/2014 baby!

I love Cosmos, and never miss an episode, even though I only watch it on OnDemand. Even though I thoroughly enjoy it, the mix of breathtaking CG effects for the "spaceship of the imagination" with the over-reliance on bad animation is a little off-putting. As good as it is, it makes me long for more programs like any of James Burke's "Connections" or "The Day the Universe Changed".
 
Well put, Avid Quoter...

As for the Fox shows, Family Guy is the only one I watch the regularity. I've also seen American Dad from time to time, but next season - and this is news to me - it's moving exclusively to TBS.
 
I would save everyone accept Almost Human, The Following, and Sleepy Hollow. Of course, Enlisted was good. I'd like to see it come back for a second season. Anyway, that is all.
 
Enlisted was very good. I don't see it being renewed, so that's a shame.

Rake probably deserves an extension as well and Almost Human is worth retaining as anything else they'd put in there would likely be worse.
 
These are just the ones I like. Others may be worth saving as well.

Glee
Dads
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Sleepy Hollow
The Simpsons
Family Guy
Americn Dad
