Fox, UPN shake things up

Fox is planning a major overhaul of its schedule in the fall, adding seven new series and moving four others to new time slots — changes that involve 60 percent of the network's prime-time slate (nine of 15 hours).

In addition, "American Juniors" — a version of "American Idol" featuring kid performers — will air on Tuesdays in place of the parent show (which will return in January).

Fox's new dramas:

The O.C. (Thursdays, 8 p.m.) — which stands for Orange County — is sort of an updated "Beverly Hills, 90210." It's a teen soap opera that features both kids and their parents — all of whom are hiding secrets of one kind or another.

Skin (Mondays, 8 p.m.) is a modern-day Romeo and Juliet, about a 17-year-old Latino boy from East L.A. who falls for a 16-year-old, wealthy white girl from the west side. His mother is a judge and his father a district attorney, and they're out to arrest and convict her father, who's a pornographer.

Tru Calling (Thursdays, 8 p.m.) stars Eliza Dushku ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer") as a sexy young time traveler who gets to relive 12 hours every episode — and try to prevent a murder.

Fox's new sitcoms:

Arrested Development (Sundays, 8:30 p.m.) stars Jason Bateman as the widowed father of a 13-year-old boy who would love to live a normal life but is caught up in the craziness of his whacked-out family. The cast includes Jeffrey Tambor, Jessica Walter, Will Arnett, Portia de Rossi and David Cross.

Luis (Fridays, 7:30 p.m.) stars Luis Guzman as the owner of a successful doughnut shop and landlord of the building it's in, in Spanish Harlem, where he's surrounded by various crazies — including his ex-wife, daughter and various odd tenants.

A Minute with Stan Hooper (Wednesdays, 7:30 p.m.) stars Norm MacDonald as a network-news commentator who moves from Manhattan to a small town in Wisconsin to experience real life — and runs into a cast of crazy characters.

The Ortegas (Sundays, 7:30 p.m.) is based on the hit BBC series "The Kumars at No. 42." Young Luis Ortega (comedian Al Madrigal) hosts his own talk show, which originates in his parents' (Cheech Marin and Terri Hoyos) backyard. And he's surrounded by "friends, family and neighbors, who inhabit this crazy world called Van Nuys."
