Reboots

Fox News or Fox affiliates airing Breakfast Time from FX? I never knew Fox actually aired a morning show or was this in areas where the Fox affiliate didn't establish a local news staff yet?

I always thought Breakfast Time on FX ended as soon as Fox and Friends started on Fox News Channel.
If I recall correctly, "Breakfast Time" aired on FX from 1994 - 1996, it ran 3 hours each morning and in reruns on weekends, it was shot in a Manhattan apartment building and was fun and a bit zany and a departure from any other morning program at the time. They had lots of cool stories and offbeat features and I remember watching it most every morning due to my work schedule at the time.

They then moved that show to the Fox network in 1996, called it "Fox After Breakfast", shortened the length to only 1 hour airing from 9-10 a.m. but also took away many of the things that made it really good viewing from what I recall. It lasted less than a year before they started retooling and ultimately it got the axe. I once heard it opined that Fox executives saw that it was successful on FX and so they decided to move it over to the Fox stations, but they never fully understood the show or what made it a success on FX, they didn't really know what to do with it once they got it, and as a result it died a relatively quick death.
 

Geraldo to Host Cops on Fox Nation.

I liked Joe Millionaire was surprised that it didn't have a second season when the first did quite well in the ratings. I don't see Joe Millionaire doing the ratings that it did in 2003 as that was a different era I think it will be a 2 to 3 million range just my opinion. And I could be wrong on that.
 
This version is more honest, as they are presenting the ladies with two men, one is a millionaire and one isn't, and they get to try to figure out which is which. If I had any interest in the dating shows (which I don't) I could see trying this one as it sounds like an intriguing concept.
