Fox must believe it's found a hole in one with "Hole in the Wall."
Net is giving the new Japanese-imported gamer another plum piece of real estate: "Hole" will now launch on Sunday, Sept. 7 at 8 p.m., following Fox's NFL coverage.

That means "Hole" will air on Fox three times during the second week of September.

As previously announced, the half-hour competish has landed the slot behind the 90-minute premiere of "Fringe" on Sept. 9. "Hole" then settles into its regular time slot - Thursdays at 8 p.m. - on Sept. 11.

"Hole" has seen its fortunes rise in recent weeks; show was originally slated for midseason, but net decided to bump it up to fall.

Brooke Burns and Mark Thompson host "Hole," which comes from FremantleMedia North America. Show follows contestants as they attempt to shift their bodies, Tetris-style, in order to make it through a moving wall. Cecile Frot-Coutaz and Stuart Krasnow exec produce.
