But if that news would cause panic at other networks, that's not happening with Fox; it is ready to storm to victory in the second half with "American Idol" coming on in January, along with the hit drama "24." Of course, Fox has dropped tens of millions of dollars on new shows that have not worked, like "Vanished" and "Happy Hour," both of which got ratings below offerings on the part-time CW network. And a new game show, "The Rich List," was withdrawn after just one woefully low-rated broadcast.
