As shrinking audiences have thinned the herd of first-run syndicated talk and courtroom shows, Jennifer Hudson should consider herself lucky that the Fox-owned stations have picked up from Warner Bros. a third season of her talk show, which is on the stations' schedules along with Sherri Shepard's show from Debmar Mercury, two talk shows produced at Fox-owned stations and a raft of game shows, many of them produced in-house by Fox:
