As if anyone needs to be reminded, we love our fighting men (and women) and cannot wait for them to return home to us. This latest reality type show presented on the Lifetime Network could be considered a reality tearjerker because there are many crying children and adults involved. But these are all tears of joy because their loved ones have returned safely from active duty in the military. Whether they served in Afghanistan or Iraq, all they really want to do is return home safely and see their family again. Children miss their daddy or mommy and emotions run high in anticipation of their safe return. Now take those tender moments and put them onto the television screen before millions of viewers and you can see where this idea may get really personal. It's almost amazing how many of these veterans opt to put their family through the emotional intensity of their sudden arrival. The show brings these veterans home quite unannounced in order to see just how high their loved ones emotions can be. Hosted by Matthew Rogers (American Idol contestant).
If you have ever wanted to use your bare toes or bare fingers to catch catfish then you might want to watch Hillbilly Handfishin'. Even if you've not quite "into" that as a sport you will definitely find this new reality show entertaining and fun. It's actually quite popular among city folk because they can see another side to human nature when competing against the wise and wary catfish, which can sometimes grow to over 100 pounds. Big Fish Adventures is a family run business that is based in Temple, Oklahoma and run by the Bivins family. Some of the tourists who come for the noodling (fishing for catfish with just their bare feet and hands) include a group of Chicago police officers, a funeral director with his daughter, and a party of mothers who love the outdoors. A widely diverse variety of people seem to love the challenge and just being in the "great outdoors" commuting with nature. Although Hillbilly Handfishin' is set in the state of Oklahoma it could be almost anywhere there are catfish and shallow slow moving water.

In this reality series she can choose from among 20 fellows, ten country guys and ten from the big city. The men compete in various challenges in hopes of winning some time with the Southern Belle, and at the end of each episode she tells one suitor goodbye for good. Among the competitors are: Adam Moyer grew up on a horse farm and compares the personalities of horses to women. Tribble Reese, a Birmingham, Alabama bartender and former college football player. Collin Varallo, southern gent and landscaper who prefers to court southern belles. Jason Maxim, Hollywood California entrepreneur with his own line of "Maxim" products to offer.

An Australian TV mockumentary, Angry Boys has what it takes to make reality television fun to watch. Take a set of teenage twin brothers from Australia, a rapper from Los Angeles, California, a young Japanese boy who wants to become a champion surfer, and an assortment of other characters who drift in and out of the weekly shows and you have a strange combination that somehow works in the "reality TV" format. It's about the typical issues faced by young males in this, the 21st century. The peer pressures, the hopes and dreams all young people have to begin with. Some see their dreams come true, some simply go another route to find happiness. Twins Nathan and Daniel live with their mother and step dad and lead average lives but Nathan happens to be almost entirely deaf. His brother, Daniel decides to give him a great going away present (before Nathan goes off to a school for the deaf) and invite a few of their heroes to attend. Those include a rap artist from LA, S mouse, a surf pro, Tim Okazaki, and a bikini clad model named Emily Chase. Some unusual character combinations make this fun and interesting viewing.
The Best Dance Crew in America today announcements come with a price. Someone must lose and that means some really talented people must give way to those who are perhaps just a bit luckier on that particular day. Or they're just flat out more talented! Each week of the competition we see the show begin with auditions from multiple areas of the country. Most recently they were Los Angeles, California, New York, Huston, Texas, and Chicago, Illinois. From that diverse mixture judges must select the best and most promising. Celebrity judges include Justin Bieber, Nicki Minaj, Kanye West, Katy Perry, and The Black Eyed Peas. Each crew must perform music from a specific artist for the weekly showdown. It may be the work of Lil Wayne or Rihanna or other talents who allow their performances to be mimicked by the contenders. Winners of each season will receive a prize of $100,000 so the competition is taken quite seriously by all. Audience (including home viewers) can vote for their favorites and as the competition narrows it becomes tense and those who survive each week are more determined than ever to win.
A TV sitcom that is shown on the Disney Channel, A.N.T. Farm begins with episode one's imaginative title, TransplANTed. Advanced Natural Talents (A.N.T.) are gifted program participants in middle school. The series centers on 11 year old Chyna Parks who is a musical prodigy who joins others her age with special natural gifts including Olive, who has perfect recall or an eidetic memory and Fletcher, who is an artistic genius with a serious crush on Chyna. There are those in school who are jealous of the gifted kids, especially Lexi who is the most "popular girl" and sees Chyna as competition for the most popular category (which Chyna could care less about). Chyna Parks is played by China Anne McClain from Tyler Perry's House of Payne. Sierra McCormick (Romantically Challenged, Medium) is Olive Doyle a girl who recalls everything she sees, hears, or reads. Jake Short (Dexter, Zeke & Luther) is Fletcher Pumpernickel Quimby, who is an artistic genius with a big time crush on Chyna. Lexi Reed is the selfish self-centered "it" girl in school who worries about competition from Chyna and is played by Stefanie Scott from The New Adventures of Old Christina and Sons of Tucson. Entertaining Disney style film with a good theme involved.
Gloria Sheppard (Ally Walker from Profiler, Sons of Anarchy) is a detective with the LAPD who has recently become a single mother to two young boys. As with several other female cop type roles currently running on television, Gloria is overloaded between her job and home life, and the men in her life are basically incompetent. She stays up late sewing costumes for her sons then is up bright and early doing her detective thing. Detective Sheppard currently lives with her younger brother, Davey (played by Chris Payne Gilbert from Dexter, Burn Notice) but he's not much help due to being a recovering drug addict and she doesn't trust him with anything more than minor tasks. Sheppard solves some spectacular cases with the assistance of her partner, detective Michelle Dulcett (Tisha Campbell-Martin from Everybody Hates Chris, All of Us). Reminiscent of (although not nearly as tough and outspoken) other TV characters like Brenda Johnson (Kyra Sedgwick) on The Closer, Body of Proof's Dr. Megan Hunt (Dana Delaney), and In Plain Sight's Mary Shannon (Mary McCormack) we see Detective Gloria Sheppard as a woman determined to do it all, with or without male companionship. And she does it well.
If you are lucky enough to reside in one of the cities that experience the rush of adrenalin that happens when the foodie race with huge trucks rolls through you may want to get out of the way for them! Each city that finds the competitive show stopping off to serve up some savory foods gets to experience how frantic and frenetic the competition actually is. The teams must come up with a menu, then shop for what they will make, then serve it out and hope they can make some profit when it's all through. The truck that earns the least in cash is the one to be eliminated that week. Season one had an extra challenge provided by stopping off at a Truck stop at each city and season two finds a Speed Bump of some sort that creates unexpected circumstances (like running out of propane or needing to relocate after setting up for their day's business). Tyler Florence (Food Network star of How to Boil Water and Food 911) is host and each food truck team has their own unique theme for the food they serve. It's fast and fun viewing!
