As I read on one website, I can hardly wait for the series sequel "Who Wants to Divorce a U S Citizen?"

I was thinking this cannot possibly make it on the air, but I just saw an ad for a show coming to Fox called Moment of Truth, in which contestants are connected to lie detectors and asked things like "Do you really care about starving children in Africa?" or "Do you expect to be married to your spouse five years from now?"

It looks sleazy and degrading. I plan to watch it.

I'm watching the Big XII championship game on ABC and they're promoting "Duel" as a "six night event" starting Monday, December 17th.

I don't know if this show, or Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew is worse.

A new tournament style game show hosted by ESPN's Mike Greenberg
I had not heard that Greenie was hosting it.

I wonder if he was doing the tapings this past week, and hence had to miss his morning show.

I thought immigration officials checked up on such things, looking for fradulent marriages for the purpose of getting a green card. I would think any such marriage arranged by a TV show would (dis)qualify. :roll:
