Fox Announces Summer Schedule, Sets Season Finales

The series of farewells begins April 28, with The Good Wife's season four wrap, and will continue until May 22, when Criminal Minds ends its season with a two-hour finale. In the weeks that separate the two, Survivor: Caramoan -- Fans vs. Favorites, The Amazing Race and Elementary will each air two-hour season sendoffs. 

Still up in the air is whether freshman entries Golden Boy, Vegas and Elementary will be hosting season finales or series finales, though Elementary would seem a shoo-in for renewal.
