TV Land announced today that they will follow ex-boxing champion George Foreman for their new reality series, Family Foreman. The show will consist of six half-hour episodes that feature George balancing his many business endeavors with his family life. I think this show will be entertaining but I also think that MTV beat TV Land to the punch with Run's House. The shows sound very similar. An immensely successful and famous dad who is also a loving father and husband. A stay-at-home mom who is everyone's rock. And a load of children with different personalities and pursuits. Thankfully, all of George's sons (who are incidentally all named George) have been given nickames: Monk, Big Wheel, Red, and Joe. I feel bad for the one that got "Joe." They couldn't come up with something more creative or more bad ass (like Big Wheel).
Family Foreman will premiere on Wednesday July 16th at 10 p.m. on TV Land.

TV Land announce TODAY??? They have been running promos into the ground for this show for months now. As entertaining as George Foreman is...the show STILL DOESN'T BELONG ON TV LAND!! TV Land is supposed to be about classic tv....not reality shows such as this, High School Reunion and She's Got the Look! Wise up TV Land and get back to the basics you are supposed to be showing!

That promo photo of Foreman is so photoshopped. Obviously his head was put on someone else's body. Even in his prime some 30 years ago, George was never that buffed.
