We Sugar Network folks aren't the only ones with weddings on the brain [0] these days. NBC's newest reality show, "The Real Wedding Crashers," [1] premieres tonight after "Heroes." [1] Produced by Ashton "Mr. Hidden Camera" Kutcher, the show features real-life couples who allow their weddings to be crashed by professional improv actors. Yup, the bride and groom are in on it — but the same can't be said for their parents, or the wedding party, or the guests.
At first, I thought the show could be morbidly entertaining [1], but after watching a few of the clips NBC released, I'm less hopeful. Granted, I'm not the biggest fan of "punk'd"-style humor — but my biggest problem with "The Real Wedding Crashers" is that it just doesn't look that funny. I couldn't even make it through this video about a mishap in a cake shop [2], and the one where the best man gets "arrested" with Cuban cigars [3] wasn't much better. I can't imagine that this show will get better ratings for NBC than either "Studio 60" [3] or "The Black Donnellys" [3] did in that time slot, but hey, I also didn't foresee the success of "Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader?" [3]
