SO YOU WANT TO BE ON A REALITY SHOW HUH....

Take your pick!


"The Marriage Ref"
Jerry Seinfeld is the mind behind a new reality show looking for squabbling couples. I'm guessing that this show is perfect if you are annoyed that your partner doesn't pick up the dry cleaning or dotes on the dog too much. If you have more serious marital issues, a Seinfeld-produced reality show is probably not the solution.

THIS WEEK
"Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?"
It's hard to believe it's been 10 years since "Millionaire" first began and ABC nearly imploded when it filled every night with the game show. (Maybe NBC could learn something from a network filling its primetime schedule with just one personality. Just sayin'.) Anyways, relive the fun of phoning a friend by auditioning for the Regis Philbin or Meredith Vieira version.
