Fox would not say when the hit reality series would return or how a sequel would differ from the first, which was based on a joke that everyone but the female competitors were in on. Grushow said the network "has come up with a notion that carries all of the same values forward. CBS was the most popular network in February when viewers of all ages are counted. But networks like Fox, NBC and ABC are intensely interested in the youthful demographic because it's craved by advertisers. The chaotic February sweeps was marked by intense competition for Michael Jackson programming and reality series like "American Idol" and "The Bachelorette" that could be moved and expanded in a scheduling chess game. Meanwhile, ABC announced Thursday it was preparing a fourth edition of "The Bachelor" that "has the heir to a well-known family, a 'Dynasty'-like family," ABC executive Susan Lyne said. Fox is about to debut "Married by America," a series based on the idea that it can marry off two longing-for-love people who had never met, In April, Fox presents "Mr. Personality," a series that "explores how looks effect love," said entertainment President Gail Berman.
