FOX Sets 'Cracking,' 'Eden' Premieres

[Brian]

FOX has scheduled early March premieres for the midseason comedy "Cracking Up" and the potentially eternal reality series "Forever Eden."
First out of the gates is "Forever Eden" from the purveyors of good taste behind "Paradise Hotel." Designed potentially to run in perpetuity, "Forever Eden" once again places an array of sexy singles at a luxury resort. The longer they stay, the more money they can earn, but the game is naturally loaded with twists and turns.

"Forever Eden" will premiere on Monday, March 1 at 9 p.m. ET. The hour-long reality series will move to its regularly scheduled Thursday 9 p.m. time period on March 18.


For a brief period, "Forever Eden" will share Monday nights with "Cracking Up," a new comedy from Mike White ("School of Rock," "Pasadena"). The half-hour series will premiere on Monday, March 8 at 8:30 p.m.
"Cracking Up" stars Jason Schwartzman ("Rushmore") as Ben, a psychology graduate student who moves into the Beverly Hills guest house of a family of eccentrics. Molly Shannon ("Saturday Night Live") and Chris McDonald ("Family Law," "Grease 2") co-star.

The network has yet to determine what will occupy the Monday 9 p.m. slot after "Forever Eden" moves to Thursdays.

Shortly after "Cracking Up" and "Forever Eden" launch, FOX is also debuting the quirky dramedy "Wonderfalls," which will begin on Friday, March 12 at 9 p.m. ET.
