GET IN THE HOLE Fox adds “Hole in the Wall” to its fall lineup.
Fox has ordered 13 episodes of Hole in the Wall, a competition series based on a “body-bending, mind-twisting, global phenomenon” . Fox announced today that it was going to take Moment of Truth off the fall schedule and replace it with its new import of Hole in the Wall, a game show that involves nothing more than people trying to jump through differently shaped holes in a styrofoam wall that will knock them into a pool if they don’t make it.

Frot-Coutaz indicated FMNA and Fox are looking to develop “Hole” as a family-friendly skein. It replaces the previously scheduled second season of shock game show “The Moment of Truth,” which will return midseason.
The scheduling means “Hole” will be pitted against reality granddaddy “Survivor,” ABC’s “Ugly Betty” and NBC’s modestly rated “My Name Is Earl” and newcomer “Kath and Kim.”
