Yes, it's another Bachelor-type show, but with a couple of twists... -The main guy is pretty well known...tennis star Mark Philippoussis.. -the 13 women are grouped into two categories: 6 "Kittens" (all in their 20's) and 7 "Cougars" (all in their 40's) so it's a "youth vs experience" thing... http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news.aspx?id=20070510nbc03

I reported something on this back on March 1 (see my post here). The preview episodes were very funny -- I'm looking forward to this one (and Jennylee, if she made the final version of the show).

I wanted to watch this one but won't be able to since it's on the same time as Hell's Kitchen. I've already been watching HK so I guess I'll stick with it. I wander if they'll repeat this Kitten/Cougar show - anyone know?

not sure, but the reviews have been terrible from what I hear...here's a section from the Washington Post: " At least, he (Phillipousis) was out of his comfort zone (because he was introduced to the older women from youngest to oldest), right up until the end of the first hour, when the 20-somethings appear, all posed like Charlie's Angels, with backs arched and arms thrown over their heads to maximize the cleavage factor. For the first 24 hours, Philippoussis -- and the older women -- are all led to believe that the first seven ladies are his only options, and their only competition. Billed at the outset as "the ultimate dating experiment," "Age of Love" is so chock-full of cliches it's comic. We get references to crow's-feet, and so many tick-tocking biological clocks you wonder if the show has a fertility doctor on retainer. The 20-somethings entertain themselves in their apartment by playing with a hula hoop in as little clothing as possible. The 40s? You've got one reading a book, one doing laundry and one working on her needlepoint."

Right from the get-go,they lost me on this one. Right when they referred to the women as "Kittens and Cougars". BLECH!

Anyone see Regis & Kelly this morning? Mark C. was her co-host. It was hysterical when they were talking about this show. Mark actually said he went in thinking the "Kittens" would be the winners, but found himself rooting for the "Cougars." His comparisons of them were funny, as was Kelly's commentary on the show, lol. Since the bachelor is only 31, I can't help but wonder if women in their 40's might be a bit old for him, no matter how great they are. I'd rather have seen a 35-36 year-old bachelor.

Kelly has said in the past regarding the bachelor show that it was so degrading to women. how ironic that her husband is not hosting the same type of show. Hearing chef yell scream and degrade people is not my cup of tea. will probably watch the dating show. i bet the kittens get snarky real quick.

Sorry everybody I've changed my mind. I'm going to watch AOL. I'm recording HK. Sorry for any emotional trauma this will cause.

Oh, you guys, you have to watch just for the look on Mark's face as he's meeting the women.

I just flat out refuse to watch ANY bachelor show. Find your dates on the internet, like any other self-respecting single man these days.

YAY something to watch BUT HK!!! (as i posted there I did take but only to see if someone really comes close to dying). His face was priceless at the ages. Too soon to tell if this show is any good, but dang we got 2 cutie Mark's on here (did they have to have THAT name??!). I've been a Mark Consuelo's fan for eon's since his AMC days. Hope he does well...he has so much talent and I don't think he's nearly reached his potential. Anyway this should be interesting...hope he gives the 40's a chance. Mark co hosted Regis and Kelly today and they did a segment on this (imagine lol). Was fun, he showed how the 20 somethings were jumping up and down on the beds and the 40's were sitting around talking. He said it sounding not too impressed with the bed jumping lol

LOL clearly a rocket scientist...after what 8 or 9 women in the 40's he spots a theme?!!! hehehe I like the way his face is so expressive. Least it looks like he isn't a BS'r, which would be pleasant on a TV dating show.

Haha Kona. You know, normally I'd agree. I can't stand dating shows but I have to admit I laughed my way through this one... or at least this first episode. (Full disclosure: I had a screener copy of the first episode for reviewing purposes.)

Hahaha...I have to agree his expressions upon meeting the women are hilarious. He seems to have recovered nicely. Have to admit though those 20 something gals are a bit <100> thus far.

Oh, definitely. I don't know if I can handle the 20 year olds but I assume that's what they intended here at first.

I don't understand why Mark C isn't the one doing all the other talking we hear. Don't the hosts usually do those voiceover pieces?
