Fox Broadcasting Co. is taking The O.C. back to its old turf on Wednesday following a dismal Season 4 premiere last week.
Amid a schedule overhaul for Wednesday and Thursday nights, Fox also has axed its rookie comedy Happy Hour and the reality show The Rich List, which was DOA in its premiere in the 9 p.m. Wednesday slot last week.
In other Fox news, the network is developing a U.S. version of the Canadian comedy series The Tournament, with Thomas Schlamme on board as executive producer.
This week, Fox intends to run a double dose of O.C. at 9 p.m. Wednesday and 9 p.m. Thursday. But it is understood that Fox is hoping O.C. will take root in the Wednesday slot so it can open up 9-10 p.m. Thursday for a block of animation repeats that would turn the night into all-comedy for Fox.
O.C. previously ran on Wednesday during its first full season in 2003-04, but this time around it will face tougher competition from ABC's Lost and CBS' Criminal Minds, though Fox is banking on O.C. being good counterprogramming to the older-skewing dramas.

TORONTO -- After calling for homegrown dramas that draw more viewers, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. faced calls for the resignation of its two top executives. As the annual Canadian Film and Television Production Assn. conference wrapped Friday in Ottawa, performers union Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists joined with the Friends of Canadian Broadcasting, a group representing 66,000 domestic TV viewers, in urging the newly installed conservative government to fire CBC president Robert Rabinovitch and Richard Stursberg, the network's executive director of English television. "These guys are incompetent," ACTRA national executive director Stephen Waddell said of Rabinovitch and Stursberg after the CBC last week canceled three dramas -- Da Vinci's City Hall, This Is Wonderland and The Tournament -- to make room for new series on its fall schedule.

TORONTO -- The Canadian Broadcasting Corp. said Monday it is canceling three primetime dramas for weak ratings. The axing of Da Vinci's City Hall, The Tournament and This is Wonderland follows the public broadcaster in early February hiring Kirstine Layfield away from the private sector to become its top programmer. CBC spokeswoman Ruth-Ellen Soles said the national network invested heavily in all three series, only to see their audience numbers underwhelm. "The audiences for all three series have been in steady decline as they did not resonate with Canadians," Soles added.
