Is your child America’s
next sweetheart? Kathie Lee Gifford travels the country to find 12 hopefuls.
Then the kids sing, dance, sneak into bars and take randomized drug tests to
find the most adorable of the cuties—and the one most able to handle the rigors
of fame. Todd Bridges, Tina Yothers, and Dr. Phil provide judging and
commentary. The winner receives a starring role in a sitcom centered on orphans
being raised by a better class of people, rich kids being raised by wacky help,
or anything with Bill Cosby.
Rich guy to be
determined, but who wouldn’t like to hang around with a crazy rich guy! He’s
bound to have money just falling out of his pockets, or maybe the contestants
will be able to scam him out of some! A group of good-looking contestants live
together in a fashionably odd, needlessly small space that’s stocked with
alcohol, and then perform odd and outrageous feats! The crazy rich guy
determines a winner at the end of the show.
Each week, viewers call
in to vote for the fabulous transsexual of their choice, until the field
narrows to one. Then America will watch the heart-wrenching (and possibly
home-wrecking!) decisions s/he’ll have to make along the way to a new life.
Think Judge Judy erred
in awarding your ex-boyfriend $1,500 for rent that you already paid? Now,
you’ve got redress! Cases from Judge Joe Brown, Judge Hatchett, Texas Justice,
Divorce Court, the People’s Court, Judge Mills Lane, and yes, Judge Judy come
up before a three-judge panel for a final resolution. Judge Lance Ito, Judge
Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum, and Judge Clarence Thomas preside.
Regis Philbin hosts the
pageant to end all pageants. Birth mothers present their newborns for adoptive
couples to select! But what the couples don’t know is that they, too, are under
the microscope. If birth mother and adoptive parents make a match, the baby
wins $1,000,000!
Farrah Fawcett, Jaclyn
Smith, Cheryl Ladd, and Kate Jackson team up to see who can solve real-life
crimes faster: Charlie’s angels, or Tyra Banks and the Victoria’s Secret
Angels, in costume.
Meet two women: the
first wife, and the trophy wife. After the first wife receives a semi-extreme
makeover, viewers vote—should the first wife get her husband back? If the
viewers and the couples agree, the couple wins $1,000,000!
Your home is your
castle—but what if you could live in a real castle? Contestants are
given the makings to turn their homes into showcases. Succeed, and they win a
palatial estate! But if our design team doesn’t approve, the family loses their
house entirely, and landless royals move in!
The Divorcee,
Starring Jennifer Lopez (pending mid-season replacement)
J. Lo’s exes get
together to discuss America’s favorite repeat bride. Is it real with Marc
Antony? Can she make it last, and why hasn’t it in the past? Ojani Nunez and
Cris Judd host a call-in show to spark national debate. Expect special
appearances by Sean Combs and Ben Affleck!
Who is the undecided
voter? What else are they undecided about? Can psychologists help them learn to
get past these impasses, and move on with their lives? This mini-documentary
tracks five undecided voters until Election Day, when they are forced to make
the ultimate choice.
