Foxploitation Shows Too Crass

Fox Television wants to change its image.

The network is vowing to scrap exploitative reality-based shows like When Good Pets Go Bad' or Who Wants to Marry a Multimillionaire?

It's a program genre that has become a big part of Fox's prime-time lineup.

According to The New York Times, Sandy Grushow - chairman of Fox Television Entertainment Group - wants to avoid the kind of material that resulted in the fiasco over the multimillionaire show.

Grushow canceled a rerun of the highly rated special after reports arose that the bridegroom had been accused of abusing a past girlfriend.

In the end, the couple returned home separately from a ``honeymoon'' that they spent mostly apart, and they're seeking to annul the marriage.
