ooOOooo, excellent. I never seem to know when things are starting. I'll be checking back here from time to time.

Anyone know when we get another TAR? I am totally ready for another season of that.

The Amazing Race final Interviews will be held during the month of December 2003.

If a team is chosen, they must be willing to travel around the world for approximately 30 to 40 days starting in January 2004.

With any luck this news means that CBS is definitely considering it's return sometime next spring or summer.

Stay tuned for any TAR 5 information.

There is somewhat of a day by day, time by time updated listing in the TV Times thread now. You can see everything all at once.

March- Mad Mad House on Scifi channel...this might be one of the wildest ones of them all...10 ordinary people move into a house. Every episode, one of them is eliminated, until one person is left and wins a six-figure cash prize.

Why is this on the Scifi channel then you might ask?

read the press release....


Did you know that there are practicing vampires in the United States? Or that the Wiccan religion is sometimes called "witchcraft"? And why, exactly, do naturists like being naked? Viewers will be invited to experience life around the edges in the colliding worlds of SCI FI's newest alternative reality series, Mad Mad House. A 10-episode weekly series, Mad Mad House will debut on SCI FI in March 2004.

Welcome to the voodoo days and vampire nights of Mad Mad House, where your perceptions are turned on their ear. Five practitioners of "alternative lifestyles," referred to collectively as "the Alts," rule the roost as their "conventional" guests strap in for the ride of their life-and compete for a six-figure jackpot.

Our Guests will live out a Survivor-meets-the-Real World-meets-The Osbournes lifestyle-and all while trying to survive living under one roof together. Meanwhile, the eclectic and unpredictable Alts, comprised of a Vampire, Wiccan, Naturist, Voodoo Priestess, and Modern Primitive, will lay out the extraordinary rules for surviving the madness-and they'll have something to prove to us all!

A one-of-a-kind television series, Mad Mad House is part reality, part variety, and part game. For nearly a month, the Guests will be invited to live in a mansion with the Mad Mad House Alts. Put through a number of weekly, tolerance-testing activities, the Guests will be judged by the Alts to determine their potential for adapting to alternative lifestyles. From their participation in House activities, to their willingness to get to know the Alts, the Guests will be subject to constant evaluation. As the House's supreme arbiters of behavior and taste, the Alts determine which of their Guests will be banished and which will walk away with the six-figure prize.

Created by Arthur Smith and Kent Weed, Mad Mad House will be produced by their A. Smith & Co. Productions. Smith and Weed most recently served as producers of Fox's summer hit series Paradise Hotel.

here's the site (not much there, just a teaser for the show, since it's several months off yet)

Fox is going to be doing a first for a reality show here for midseason...a show that has no definite ending. Based on audience interest, it could last 3 months or 3 years or even longer. Called "Forever Eden" it's sort of a "Paradise Hotel" thing (in fact the producers for that show will be producing this show)-singles stay in an isolated resort. The thing is, they're paid for every week they stay on the show. Once you enter, you can only leave if you quit, take an offer to leave, or are forced to leave thru a vote out or something of that nature. If you quit, you lose all the money you earned. If you are forced out, you lose half the money you earned. But at certain points, an offer will be made for you to leave with all your money and perhaps other incentives. The concept is if the show lasts for years, people could thoretically stay on the show for years. Fox has ordered 25 hour-long eps to air in the spring as a start, with an eye towards Thursdays or Friday nights, with perhaps multiple eps a week.

My DW has actually gotten into watching reality shows with me. However, I don't think she'll be watching the porn star show.....most probably because I won't be watching it....which she mentioned just in case I had other ideas. :-)

Isn't the porn star show on pay-per-view? I seem to recall hearing that somewhere...

Fox has some sort of new show starting Jan 19th, after the AI3 premiere (Monday nights)...."My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance". The premise is, a woman announces to her family she's engaged and will be getting married on national televison to a man, and herself, the groom, and her family will be living in a house so the audience can see the planning of the wedding. The groom is a lout; he's rude, crude, clumsy, insults the other family members, among other things....The catch is, IT'S ALL A SHAM. The woman is actually a contestant, and the groom is an actor; they're not really engaged. If she can manage to get thru the short engagement period and the fake wedding without admitting it's phony or her family realizing this is all a setup or leaving (they seem to be living together in a house during the "engagement", she wins $1,000,000.

Wilson, wouldn't you agree that the "Forever Eden" idea is long overdue? I'm surprised no network has done it yet--does "Starting Over" count? It's genius!

Mocha, I've just seen this:

"The reality genre extends into pornography Jan. 8 with the premiere of "Can You Be a Porn Star?" on InDEMAND pay-per-view, in which young women vie for a chance to win $100,000 and a one-year contract with an adult video distributor."

Is that the one you're talking about? If so, it seems to be PPV only.

Pamy, the TV Times listing has been updated. That might help you.
