LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) FOX is tinkering with its fall premiere schedule a little, expanding the season debut of "The Bernie Mac Show" and moving "Malcolm in the Middle" back a week.
The network will open the fifth season of "Bernie Mac" with two episodes, featuring guest stars Anthony Anderson and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, on Friday, Sept. 23. "Malcolm" will now begin its seventh, and possibly final, season on Friday, Sept. 30.
"The Bernie Mac Show" is coming off an abbreviated fourth season, due mostly to the fact that Mac was laid up with pneumonia for part of last fall. Four episodes aired in September 2004, and a dozen more ran starting in January. The show has also been off the air for longer than most others, as it finished its season in April.
Anderson, coming off a dramatic turn on "The Shield," will return to comedy on the "Mac" premiere as a man named Bryan who says he's Byrana's (Dee Dee Davis) father. Bernie wants to support him but becomes suspicious when Bryan ignores Jordan (Jeremy Suarez) and Vanessa (Camille Winbush).
Former WWE champion Austin will appear in the second episode, offering Bernie some advice after Jordan joins his school's wrestling team.
Rosanna Arquette, who stars in ABC's midseason show "What About Brian," will guest-star in the "Malcolm in the Middle" premiere. The episode finds Malcolm (Frankie Muniz) and Reese (Justin Berfield) trying to sneak off to the Burning Man festival. Hal and Lois (Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek) discover their plan and decide to make it a family outing, with predictably disastrous results.
