CW has ordered a new show for the summmer that I think will do well- it's called "13" and it's basically a reality game version of a horror movie..

Brenda, I got all caught up on Reunion today. It's going to be interesting to see what happens now that Steve is in the house.

I saw some of Welcome to the Parker awhile back.. is this a new season?? Oh or is it now showing in Canada, Jasper? It was sort of interesting seeing the behind the scenes stuff.

I'm watching HS Reunion and it keeps seeming like I have already seen it..

High School Confidential.. whoa.. real kids and scary at times to see what they are living through.. that their parents may not realize.

There was another high school reunion show on another channel before. I caught up with it on Logo today but it's shown on TVland.

Thought I'd put this here, since this is a general area for reality TV.

Perez Hilton has been given his own show and it will be about what HE thinks of reality stars.

Show sounds interesting....wish there was another host, however.

starts next tuesday.

Re: Wilson's post on March 5

What's Celebrity Circus? Is that going to be like Battle of the Network Stars, I wonder?

Anyone remember those? I loved those shows!

I remember Battle of the Network Stars and they also had Circus of the stars where the stars would learn circus acts.

I finally watched the first episode of High School Confidential. Very well done, very realistic. This is is an upper middle class suburb, it follows 12 girls through 4 years of high school. I teach not in this school but in the neighboring high school, if you have kids, you should watch this one, it is a great portrayal so far, teachers see this stuff all the time, parents sometimes think their child would never act a certain way, I recommend watching this one. My understanding is that they are going to follow all types of kids, sports, academics, cheerleaders, religious, party girls, etc. This is on the WE network if you want to check it out.

Seamonkey -- i felt the same way about High School reunion. And I did watch before, like Mamie said, on another network. According to IMDB it aired in 2003 or 2004? I also recall that it was a 10 year reunion, not a 20 year. I think I will find the 20 year more interestng because they are closer to my age. :-) The prior series had hall passes and the same set up so I suspect it was created by the same people.

I love the HS Reunion that is on TVLand. Kind of like Big Brother but no one gets voted out. Actually, in my opinion, much better then BB. I would love so see a thread started but I don't know how to start one. It has drama, but I know it is a recent show because they are talking about class of 1987 and it is their 20 year reunion. I think it was taped the later part of last year. I really like it, wonder if anyone else knows it is out there. Funny station to pick it up but it looks like TV Land is trying to get more first run shows.

Did anyone catch the new show on MTV last night with the kids of stars? A few were not very good at all but I think a couple of them had some real potential.

There's a whole thread for Rock the Cradle on the board here. They're showing it again Sat. at midnight and Sunday at 7:00 p.m. I'm sure that they'll be showing it even more yet before the new episode next Thursday.

I watched an episode of Jon & Kate Plus 8 yesterday. My little nephew would just go crazy at that train museum and I was pretty impressed by the reptile and amphibian place myself. It must be so nice for those kids to get a chance to spend time with their parents without all their other siblings around. And for the mom & dad too! I like how they acknowledge that it's a little strange to have their lives being filmed too.

I saw it too. I just thought that Alexis was so cute with all the reptiles and her love of alligators. When she came home and said that her alligator wasn't real, it just broke my heart.

I think it's great that they are able to take one out at a time.

I really enjoy watching that family too. The mom just cracks me up with her sly humor.

Viva Hollywood Sunday's on VH1.

I caught it last night. I'll watch any reality show....sigh.

Anyway...the prize is 100k and a role on a Telenovella. Hosts are Carlos Ponce and Maria Conchita. 12 contestants compete and live in the same house.

Think Who Wants to be a Soap star.

Very strong personalities which always makes for good reality show fun.

Lots of great eye candy for us straight gals. ;)

Anyone watch?

I watched while I was briefly working out. Am I correct that Charo was involved? She's not a competitor is she?

Yes, Tvfreak, they showed clips of Charo for an upcoming episode. I know she's wacky but I always liked her.

Next summer, on CBS, Burnett’s new reality show “Jingles” will feature contestants trying to come up with new commercial jingles for all sorts of products — possibly for Crest Toothpaste, Coca-Cola, or other well-known brands.

It’s like a marriage of “American Idol” and “The Apprentice.” (No doubt, the contestants will do their own performances.

Better still, Burnett can now return to charging those high-flying $2 million to $3 million an episode branded entertainment fees that marketers seem to pay so easily. Those fees can easily cover his TV production costs.

It’s not surprising that NBC is looking for Burnett’s “Apprentice” to return to the schedule, for similar reasons.

On the new show, the winning commercial jingles will end up being part of an actual big-time advertising campaign. Talk about being organic! What will this branded integration cost? $3 million? $4 million? $5 million? Executive will tell you they are duly worth it — and then some.

GROOMER HAS IT is a new show on Animal Planet and the name says it all. I love the egos on these dog groomers...the hair stylists have nothing on these guys. Is anyone else watching it?

Supergranny - I've watched both episodes and you are right about the egos. The guy who broke the leg of the yarn dog last week redeemed himself this week. He was so kind to the dog. I think the guy who kept hurting his dog should have been sent home.

Wish I could remember all of the groomer's names. LOL

Question for anyone watching Viva Hollywood, where have I seen Vinci before? I know I've seen him on some other reality show. Maybe the one where Mick Jaggers ex tried to find a man? I just can't place where I've seen him.

Yes, I am watching Groomer has it (I will watch pretty much any reality show, its a sickness) and I really like it. My husband on the other hand saw what I was starting to watch Saturday and laughed at me and went to bed. (gee, I wish it was on 7 nights a week!)
