Meanwhile, the 90-minute premiere of Fringe got off to a nice start helping FOX nab a win in the demos. (NBC and America’s Got Talent were the victors with the viewers.)

- One Tree Hill (CW, 9pm): Season 6 premiere. “Lucas’ chosen lady meets him at the airport, while Dan’s accident proves life-threatening.” Sorry. So not caring who Chad Michael Murray picks these days.

Hole in the Wall Preview
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Games, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, Video,
Were you one of the millions entertained this summer by Wipeout‘s Big Balls? Well, then this might be the show for you.
Next month, FOX will introduce Hole in the Wall, its contribution to the reality humiliation genre. Although the program’s concept could tire quickly (like The Moment of Truth‘s), it’s appears to be a fun counterprogramming option for those in need of a mindless chuckle.
Hole in the Wall has special previews on September 7th and 9th. It will then regularly air @ 8pm on Thursdays starting September 11.
