My dad is better than your dad!
Mark Burnett, the producer behind the hit reality TV shows ‘Survivor,’ ‘The Apprentice’ and ‘Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader,’ has two more shows in the ready. ‘My Dad Is Better Than Your Dad’ and ‘Amne$ia’ (yes this is really how they spell this) Ugh!
‘My Dad Is Better Than Your Dad’ (MDIBTYD) is slated to start airing February 18th and will follow the wildly successful return of ‘American Gladiator.’ MDIBTYD will feature father and son/daughter teams competing for the the Reality TV playground title.
“My Dad Is Better Than Your Dad” is a high-energy, family-friendly competition series hosted by Dan Cortese (“MTV Sports,” “What I Like About You”). The show will finally prove the familiar schoolyard boast — “My dad is better than your dad!” Dads and their respective son or daughter will be at the forefront of the action leading them in exciting larger-than-life challenges testing dad’s strength, smarts and how well he works together with his son or daughter. Ultimately, the triumphant dad will strut away with money for his child’s future and the all-important bragging rights.NBC.com
The show is set to air Monday nights at 8 p.m. starting February 18th.
The second show, ‘Amne$ia,’ claims to be a comedy-game show that challanges the contesants to anwer a series of questions from their life experiences - all in the quest for cash.
The host of the show is Dennis Miller ( I was wondering when he would surface again). ‘Amne$ia’ will premiere following the season finale of ‘1 vs 100,’ February 22 at 9 p.m.
It’s good to know we’ll have something new to watch as the writer’s strike drags on. So, set the DVRs
