FOX Desperate to be Like ABC, is Turning Japanese

Posted on 07 August 2008 by Robert Seidman

Our friend Brian Stelter already took the best headline, FOX: ‘I Imitated a Japanese Game Show!’ — not much point in rewriting the article about how FOX is slipping somewhat of a clone of ABC’s show (which wasn’t exactly a hit!) into its fall lineup in Moment of Truth’s slot.  The show will be called: Hole in the Wall will focus on the human Tetris element from Japanese game shows.

It will air Thursday nights at 8pm starting September 11.

    I hope there is more to the game then what the images are giving us.
    I can see an initial liking to the show, but after about 2 espisodes, it could become old-hat.

  2. Steven says:

    why is fox not airing moment of truth? this show will hurt them against survivor.

  3. TVaholic says:

    Steven,

    I think FOX had second thoughts about using Moment of Truth this fall after it performed rather poorly this summer.

  4. TVa, I agree. Its ratings were sliding. As crazy as it seems to say it, seems like Hole in the Wall may fare better against Survivor than MOT. Survivor *still* is likely to dominate the timeslot but I don't blame FOX for rolling the dice to see what happens.
