Fox to debut new ‘Hell’s Kitchen’ edition on April 1, air it after ‘Idol’
By Christopher Rocchio, 11/08/2007

The Writers Guild of America strike has led Fox to plan for an earlier-than-usual reopening of Hell’s Kitchen. Fox has announced the fourth season of Hell’s Kitchen is scheduled to premiere Tuesday, April 1 at 9PM ET/PT. If the network follows through with that plan — according to Fox, things could change if a strike settlement is reached before then — it would mark the first time one of the Gordon Ramsay reality competition’s editions premiered before the summer programming season. And in addition to debuting well before the May conclusion of the 2007-2008 regular programming season, most of Hell’s Kitchen 4’s episodes would also be airing in the most-coveted time period on television — Tuesday nights at 9PM ET/PT, immediately after the Fox’s 8PM ET/PT broadcasts of American Idol’s seventh-season performance shows.

Idol 7 will premiere over the course of two consecutive nights on Tuesday, January 15 and Wednesday, January 16, with both two-hour broadcasts beginning at 8PM ET/PT.

As part of its strike-revised midseason schedule, Fox also announced When Women Rule the Earth — a new reality series that will feature 12 unsuspecting chauvinistic men becoming slaves in a new primitive Survivor-like “society” ruled by 12 “strong, educated and independent” women — is now scheduled to premiere on Monday, March 3 at 8PM ET/PT.

Fox also announced The Moment of Truth, a new game show that was developed under the working title Nothing but the Truth and will quiz contestants on personal questions and use a lie detector to determine if they’re telling the truth, is scheduled to premiere Wednesday, January 23 at 9PM ET/PT immediately following that night’s Idol broadcast.
