Review Of Super Nanny
In August of 2006, a Scottish family began to seek legal advice claiming that the reality television series, Super Nanny, had distorted the image of their family in order to gain higher ratings for the television show. Super Nanny herself, the British Jo Frost, was called in by the Docherty family to help organize their household, put the family on a daily schedule, and help train their rowdy, out of control children. The episode, like many other episodes, featured the family's three young...
Review Of The Reality Series Dog The Bounty Hunter
One of A&E's most popular reality shows is Dog the Bounty Hunter, featuring real life bounty hunter Duane Dog Chapman. The show has an interesting beginning, spinning off of an original television appearance on an A & E network special Take this Job, a program about people with unusual occupations.
The response to the husband and wife team, Dog Chapman and his up until recently common-law wife Beth Smith (Chapman and Smith were recently married in a 2006 Hawaiian ceremony), was...
The Episode Smelled Around The World Flavor Of Love Season II Premiere
August 2006 has already brought forth a few unforgettable reality television moments:
In one week I have seen a female contestant take a dump on an Italian marble floor during the first episode of Flavor of Love 2, Dwayne Dog Chapman marry his common-law wife Beth wearing a pair of white jeans and a white Chippendales vest on Dog The Bounty Hunter, Keith Michael get kicked off of Project Runway, and Gene Simmons introduce his new show Family Jewels -- which might just be the most offensive...
Review Of Celebrity Duets
There is a brand new celebrity reality show waiting in the wings for a late summer of 2006 debut. Celebrity Duets is a completely unscripted performance series that puts together famous singing stars with celebrities outside of the music business in order to create beautiful music together. The series is somewhat like American Idol in that it is a weekly elimination contest with both judges and viewers deciding who stays and who goes. The winning celebrity will be able to earmark a charity to...
Review Of The Amazing Race
The Amazing Race is a rarity among reality shows -- a recipient of three Emmys for Best Reality/Competition primetime program. Heralded as a family program that actually teaches concepts of teamwork as well as gives the best geography lesson on television, The Amazing Race has been on air with CBS since 2001. The show recently finished its ninth season, and partially produced by Touchstone Television, giving it partial affinity with Disney.
The show is similar to Survivor in the way that...
Review On The First Episode Of Gene Simmon s Family Jewels
A&E is the place to watch the latest version of the family reality show genre started by the Osbournes on MTV. However, there are a few major differences between Gene Simmons Family Jewels, and the Osbournes, the zany British family led by rocker Ozzy Osbourne and boisterous wife Sharon. The Osbournes enjoyed such a huge audience mainly because the viewers really felt like they were getting a true, fly-on-the-wall view of one of rocks first families. Ozzy, Sharon, Jack and Kelly really...
Review On Bravo s Work Out
Work Out, a fitness-based docu-drama featuring trainer to the stars, Jackie Warner and the opening of her new workout facility, was Bravo's sleeper hit of the summer of 2006. Work Out gained viewers near the end of its short television run, drawing in an audience of close to one million for its finale. The finale was above and beyond the most viewed episode of the show, inspiring Bravo President, Laura Zalaznick, to consider another installation of the series.
Zalaznick states, We are doing...

Review Of Hells Kitchen
Hells Kitchen, a cooking-based reality television show, is most known for its crass and cacophonous British chef Gordon Ramsay. The US version of Hell's Kitchen follows in the footsteps of the UK television series, the original Hells Kitchen,which was broadcast in the UK in 2004. The first American season (the show is now in its second season) premiered on FOX in 2005, with Season Two premiering in June of 2006.
