The richly praised but ratings-poor comedy "Arrested Development" looks like it might get another chance to find an audience.

FOX is poised to pick up the critically acclaimed show for a second season, along with fellow bubble show "Tru Calling," the Hollywood trade papers report. The network will reveal its schedule for next season on Thursday (May 20).

Although the series drew only about 6.2 million viewers a week in its freshman season, "Arrested Development" has fans in high places at the network, as well as near-unanimous support from TV critics. "Tru Calling" was also a marginal performer, drawing an average of 4.5 million viewers opposite "Friends" and "Survivor" on Thursdays.

New dramas "House," "Jonny Zero" and "The Inside," along with the comedy "Related by Family," are expected to find homes on FOX's schedule sometime next season, the trades report. Six shows are already set for June premieres as the network moves to a year-round schedule.

Meanwhile, CBS will likely announce five new series -- two comedies and three dramas -- Wednesday at its upfront presentation. "Center of the Universe," starring John Goodman, and the untitled Jason Alexander project, based on "Pardon the Interruption" host Tony Kornheiser's life, are the comedies. The previously announced "CSI: New York," coming-of-age story "Clubhouse" and the Rob Lowe vehicle "Dr. Vegas" are the leading drama contenders.

CBS has drama spots to fill at 10 p.m. ET Wednesday and Friday nights. "The Guardian" is also vulnerable and may be replaced by one of the new shows.

The fate of four-year-old sitcom "Yes, Dear," remains up in the air; speculation has "Center of the Universe" taking its place on Monday nights. The network is also reportedly looking at launching some new unscripted projects next season.
