As befits a series about people trying to fit themselves into tight spaces, FOX has managed to squeeze several sneak previews for "Hole in the Wall" into its schedule.

Although it will air in hour-long blocks on Thursday nights at 8 p.m. ET starting on Sept. 11, "Hole in the Wall" will get to strut its stuff with a 30-minute episode on Sunday, Sept. 7 and a 25-minute taste on Tuesday, Sept. 9.

Hosted by Brooke Burns and Mark Thompson and based on the popular and already frequently repurposed Japanese format, "Hole in the Wall" asks contestants to wedge their bodies through cut-out shapes in a swiftly approaching barrier wall. The team with the most points at the end of the competition will win $25,000 and the chance to face the "Blind Wall" for the opportunity to win an additional $100,000.

The newly scheduled sneak previews will give "Hole in the Wall" potentially impressive sampling. The Sunday episode will follow FOX's first NFL doubleheader of the season, while the Tuesday episode will air after the exhaustively promoted series premiere of "Fringe."
