Fox in the United States will bring back a new "Joe Millionaire" this year and start a junior version of "American Idol" as well as a new drama about the porn industry.
The American network is introducing three new dramas and four new comedies in the hope that this fall will be better than the last one.
Fox had a bad start to the current TV season bounced back with the surprise success of "Joe Millionaire" and return of "American Idol".
Beyond saying the butler will be back, Fox executives would reveal little about a second season of "Joe Millionaire". It leaves open the question of whether women can be fooled a second time into dating an average guy they think is rich.
Rumour has it they will do a reverse and disguise an actual millionaire as a humble blue-collar worker.
"American Juniors," spotlighting talented children, will run until "American Idol" is back in January. But don't expect (the very nasty judge) Simon Cowell, or any other sharp-tongued judge.
"This is not a show where we are going to be ripping children apart," said Gail Berman, Fox entertainment president.
"Australian Idol" is due to premiere Down Under directly after the end of Big Brother 3.
"CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" producer Jerry Bruckheimer is behind the new drama, "Skin." It focuses on two Los Angeles families — one led by the district attorney and another that makes its money on pornography.
Despite the title, Berman said not to expect too much skin.
"We're a broadcast network, we know that," she said. "We're not going to have the show live in that world. This show will live in the world that I feel very comfortable with, which is character, character, character."
