Fox believes the children are the future. Fresh off the successful return of "MasterChef Junior" and the swift cancellation of "Utopia," Fox has learned a valuable lesson. Fox announced on Thursday (November 6) afternoon that "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" will be making a triumphant return to the network. With that in mind, we'd like to suggest to Fox that the network's $50 million investment in facilities for "Utopia" could be at least partially recouped by purchasing the format rights for "Kid Nation" and depositing a group of tykes out in the California desert. Or don't but the "Kid Nation" format. "Utopia Juniors" sells itself. But back to "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?"... Produced by Mark Burnett and hosted by Jeff Foxworthy, "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" premiered on Fox in 2007 and the essentially self-explanatory format ran through 2009, with 80 episodes. The series also had a run in syndication.
