NEW SERIES
"I Pity The Fool" -- TV Land has picked up six episodes of this Dr.
Phil- meets-Tony-Robbins reality show in which Mr. T stars in the unlikely
role of social scientist traveling across the country to dispense his own
classic Mr. T style advice. Whether it's viewers struggling with problems
at home or fans seeking tips on gaining professional success, Mr. T becomes
immersed in the situation at-hand and becomes a catalyst for change. "I
Pity The Fool" is produced by Lionsgate in association with Left/Right
Films and Remag Guerilla. Stephen Belafonte, Ken Druckerman and Banks
Tarver are executive producers. Slated to premiere October 2006. (30
minutes)
"My First Time"** -- This six-part series looks at the roles that
changed celebrities lives. Bolstered by original interviews with each star
profiled, every 30-minute episode will feature some of the biggest talents
in Hollywood and trace their first "big break." Additionally, each show
will contain footage of that first scene that put them in the public eye.
In some cases, these will be performances that the stars themselves would
probably rather forget. Series is produced by Scott Sternberg Productions.
Premiering Wednesday, June 28 at 10 p.m. (30 minutes)
"Back to the Grind" -- Viewers join celebrated actors as they perform
the same job their characters did on their respective hit TV series. The
stars will be required to perform the same tasks they once did on-camera,
only this time without any help from writers. This six-part series is
executive produced by Michael Levitt and Eugene Pack. Premiere date TBD.
(30 minutes)
