FOX is hoping for fast ratings with Joe Millionaire when it returns this autumn.

The network announced Thursday that it would be scheduling the reality series on two nights a week during November sweeps.

Joe will retain its 8pm Monday slot and gain a Tuesday 8pm slot from Monday, October 20.

The first Tuesday episode on October 28 will coincide with the third season premiere of 24, no doubt providing a healthy lead in for the cult drama series.

Joe replaces a second season of American Juniors in the Tuesday slot, which was officially ditched by FOX last week. Word from the show's producers, FremantleMedia and 19 Entertainment, was that they didn't have enough time to put together a second competition.
