When the World Series concludes and the November Sweep approaches, FOX offers a brand-new game and makes some lineup changes of its own. The network will unveil THE RICH LIST, an exciting new quiz show where teams of strangers use knowledge and strategy to complete lists that can win them limitless amounts of money. Hosted by Eamonn Holmes, Britain’s well-known morning TV personality, THE RICH LIST premieres Wednesday, Nov. 1 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) following BONES.

In addition, two new FOX dramas will move to new nights after Baseball. Court will be in session on Mondays for the Jerry Bruckheimer-produced legal drama JUSTICE beginning Monday, Oct. 23 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), following the hit series PRISON BREAK. And suspenseful VANISHED takes the search for Sara Collins to Fridays beginning Friday, Oct. 27 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT), leading into new episodes of TRADING SPOUSES: MEET YOUR NEW MOMMY.

TRADING SPOUSES, the unscripted series where moms from different walks of life switch families to experience the ultimate life change, returns with a two-hour season premiere Friday, Oct. 20 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) and makes its time period premiere Friday, Oct. 27 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

Beginning Tuesday, Oct. 31, STANDOFF (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) leads off the night as the critically acclaimed hit drama series HOUSE (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) returns to its regular time period.

After Baseball, new sitcoms ‘TIL DEATH (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT) and HAPPY HOUR (8:30-9:00 PM ET/PT) return to the Thursday schedule, leading into THE O.C., which will have its fourth season premiere Thursday, Nov. 2 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), as previously announced.

FOX’s Saturday-night primetime lineup of COPS (8:00-8:30 PM and 8:30-9:00 PM ET/PT) and AMERICA’S MOST WANTED: AMERICA FIGHTS BACK (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) returns Saturday, Nov. 4, along with late-night programs MADtv (11 PM-Midnight ET/PT) and the new TALKSHOW WITH SPIKE FERESTEN (Midnight-12:30 AM ET/PT). On Sundays beginning Sunday, Nov. 5, THE SIMPSONS (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT), AMERICAN DAD (8:30-9:00 PM ET/PT), FAMILY GUY (9:00-9:30 PM ET/PT) and THE WAR AT HOME (9:30-10:00 PM ET/PT) all return, following an hour of comedy repeats and NFL overruns (7:00-8:00 PM ET/PT).

In THE RICH LIST, total strangers are thrown together to form two teams of two who compete against each other by filling in missing answers on a particular list. Wide-ranging topics could be films directed by Steven Spielberg, hit singles by ABBA or states with a coastline. Contestants bid upwards against each other while predicting how many examples of a particular subject they will be able to list. If a team fails to list as many answers as they predicted, the other team wins the round. The winners of the best of three lists move on to play “The Rich List,” a new game of list-making where increasing amounts of money are up for grabs; however, make a single mistake and they lose it all. But it doesn't end there on THE RICH LIST – if you keep winning, you keep playing. The champions return to face a new set of opponents and try to win even more money in a potentially endless number of games.

PRISON BREAK returns with “Dead Fall” Monday, Oct. 23 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT). Scofield has his hands full when Sucre turns traitor and escapes with the newly found $5 million; Mahone is investigated by Internal Affairs regarding Tweener’s death; Lincoln is determined to reunite with LJ, but may be walking into The Company’s trap; and Sarah must fight for her life when the conspiracy tries to make history repeat itself.

As JUSTICE makes its time period premiere, the firm of TNT&G represents a teenage outcast who is accused of the ritualistic murder of the school bully in the “Crucified” episode Monday, Oct. 23 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

And on the time period premiere of VANISHED Friday, Oct. 27 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT), titled “Aftermath,” the mystery continues after the shocking events that transpired when Senator Collins visited Washington, DC, for Judge Wallace Rainer’s confirmation hearing and Agent Graham Kelton (Gale Harold) was gunned down and killed. Meanwhile, newcomer Agent Daniel Lucas (Eddie Cibrian) contributes to the investigation into Sara Collins’ baffling disappearance.

On the time period premiere of STANDOFF Tuesday, Oct. 31 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT), titled “Man of Steele,” a surrogate mother scams a desperate husband out $50,000 for her newborn baby. The distraught man takes matters into his own hands and Matt and Emily must enlist the help of a local shock jock who lets the heated negotiations play out live on the air.

In the HOUSE episode “Fools for Love” Tuesday, Oct. 31 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), House treats a young married couple who have similar symptoms, but when he uncovers the cause of their mysterious illness, they are both left in shock. Meanwhile, a walk-in patient, Michael Tritter (guest star David Morse), stands up to House and becomes his biggest nightmare.

“The Girl with the Curl” episode of BONES on Wednesday, Nov. 1 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) finds Brennan and Booth investigating the death of Brianna Swanson, a young beauty queen whose decomposed remains are discovered at a Washington, DC, water filtration plant. Brianna’s father is a suspect initially, but new clues lead Brennan and Booth to Brianna’s dance school, where they glean key information. Meanwhile, Hodgins works up the nerve to ask Angela out on a date and after contemplating the pros and cons of dating a coworker, she agrees to go.

On the two-hour season premiere of TRADING SPOUSES: MEET YOUR NEW MOMMY Friday, Oct. 20 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), Mrs. Sharon Martin of Olympia, KY, trades places with Mrs. Lisa Shatz of Boston, MA. In the episode, one mom has to adjust to orthodox Jewish traditions, while the other’s kosher way of life is put to the test when she goes raccoon hunting with her new family. Both Sharon and Lisa leave their new families with a letter that could change their lives forever. When each mom returns to her own home, she reads the letter to learn how her family will be required to spend the $50,000 prize.
