Would You Watch Jon Gosselin on a Divorced Dads Show?
Would you tune in each week to a show following Jon Gosselin's swingin' single life? Well, some folks will, which is why Gosselin might be starring in Divorced Dad's Club, a series following well-known divorced fathers. TLC is reportedly tired of Gosselin's antics and may be focusing its show more on "Kate's life as a single mom," so Jon might just move on over to a new reality series.
TV Tonight: What Not to Wear Takes on Blossom
A lot of the women who end up on TLC's What Not to Wear are stuck wearing the style of a certain decade, and it becomes Stacy and Clinton's job to snap them out of it. I'm always curious how these women come to cling to styles of decades past, whether it's a steadfast commitment to acid-washed jeans or an unwillingness to give up the Doc Martens. But it's pretty clear how the makeover recipient on tonight's season premiere came to get stuck in her style rut, considering that, well, she once played Blossom.
Buzz In: Which TLC Shows Inspire You Most?
My colleague lilsugar has been talking to one of the "stars" — the mom! — of TLC's 17 Kids and Counting: The Duggar Family and while I find it fascinating that anyone has had that many kids, I still don't often tune in to watch this show.
Periodically, however, I do find myself glued to some of TLC's other programming like Little People Big World.
Does Getting to Know the Contestants Make You Care About Miss America?
Last Friday, TLC premiered a new reality series called Miss America: Countdown to the Crown that follows 52 pageant queens vying for this year's Miss America crown (they did something similar last year).
Each week audiences can tune in to watch the ladies live together on an ocean cruise liner and go through various challenges that are apparently meant to prepare them for the big competition on Jan. 24.
What I'm TiVoing Tonight: Rock the Reception
Surely you've seen those YouTube videos of brides, grooms and wedding parties surprising their guests with choreographed dances at wedding receptions. I get a huge kick out of those videos, and to be totally honest I've always fantasized of doing this for my wedding, if/when I get married, so the TLC show Rock the Reception is fast becoming one of my favorite things in the world.
The half-hour show follows couples as they learn a choreographed dance to a song of their choosing and then surprise their guests with it at their wedding receptions.
Would You Watch a Jennifer Lopez Reality Show?
Jennifer Lopez and her twins have been big — and adorable — news this Spring, and now it's sounding like we'll get a chance to glimpse the babies on a regular basis from the comfort of our couches. Lopez will be creating and starring in her own reality show for TLC showing her juggling her career and her life as a new mom.
I'm a little surprised J.
Is Reality TV Better When It's About Unusual Lives?
Until some news around TLC's programming came out this week, I never gave a lot of thought to a reality TV subgenre that TLC likes to call "unusual lives." The set includes shows like LA Ink — that's star Kat Von D at left — and American Chopper, and anything else that showcases people working in non-mainstream professions. (TLC has new "unusual lives" shows on the way about a bikini maker and a class at a makeup academy.)
It's kind of a neat little genre of reality TV, more like mini-documentaries than about throwing a bunch of people in a house together and seeing who explodes.
Would You Compete With Your Officemates in a Singing Competition?
When most of us think of singing our hearts out to our favorite tunes, we picture ourselves someplace where we can be alone, like in the shower, and not, say, in the office. But TLC is betting that some folks won't mind singing in front of their coworkers on the channel's new reality competition, The Singing Office.
The show is described as "a tongue-in-cheek singing competition that pits different groups of employees against each other" and will be co-hosted by Dancing With the Stars alums Mel B.
TV Tonight: Miss America: Reality Check
When TLC got the rights to air Miss America, it wanted to reinvigorate the tired pageant. And it's starting tonight, with a reality show whipping this year's 52 contestants into shape.
Miss America: Reality Check puts the contestants under one roof for four weeks and asks them to complete a series of challenges.
Will You Watch Miss America on TLC?
The Miss America Pageant is homeless no more. Dropped by ABC in 2004, then by Country Music Television this year, the pageant finally found a TV partner this week in TLC. The network inked a deal to air the pageant through 2010, along with a reality series preceding the 2008 pageant that will follow the preparations of the 52 contestants.
