There's a new game show coming to ABC where parents bet and win money if their children can do various tasks. It's called Bet On Your Baby. I know that I will NOT be watching this abomination! Have the TV execs truly hit the bottom of the barrel? I wonder what kind of tasks they will have those poor kids do? People will truly do anything for money these days, it's disgusting.

Not that I disagree with all your points, but......sure, this obsession with greed and obtaining money at any cost most certainly is a "these days". thing. |

I gave up on TV years ago, right now I'm watching Star Trek: Deep Space Nine uncut and commercial free!

They're stealing this idea from an episode of Malcolm in the Middle, where the dads in a baby daycare class bet on their kids. Such as:
The dirty diaper weighing contest, where the winning dad says:
"Daddy takes back all those mean things he said about you being a girl!"

If there are enough people willing to exploit their children like this to make it last more than 1 season, I will personally break into the White House myself and press the god damn "nuke world" button.

Control of the button was given to Walmart in 2006. |

I think I'd rather watch a Geico commercial marathon.

I can bet that I wouldn't make it 2 minutes into this "game show" before changing the channel to avoid triggering my gag reflex.

This show sounds astonishingly boring.
What ever happened to sending a camera crew to Calabasas and filming whatever doddering old heavy metal star or mentally deficient pop singer will sign a consent form? Now THAT is quality programming.

^^ You know I wouldn't be at all surprised if one of the 'wagers' actually does involve the most colorful/creative/artistic stool, with of course the yuppie parents enthusiastically describing what they fed their baby in preparation.
"Well we knew our little bundle of joy was gonna be up against some pretty tough competition in the "Party-Poopy" round, so we upped the ante a little bit. We gave little Aribellizbethlehannah Jaydeane-Michelle a BIG girl sized helping of Peas & Carrots baby food, but with a twist .. we lightly coated it with some Glowstick fluid, so we think our future for winning this round is pretty bright!" Lord help us |

I guess you're not a "Trekker". That's OK. Tonight I'll be watching Star Trek: Voyager. I have all six Series on DVD, I watch the original series on Monday, The three "Next Generation" Series Tuesday to Thursday, Enterprise on Friday and The Animated Series on Saturday. |

Television is a vast wasteland ...... hmmmm, I think that's a good description. You can quote me on that!

If you sprayed a baby in the face with water to shut them up, or stuck their nose in "stuff" when they make a mess, you'd be sharing a bunk bed with Rebar the Rapist. |

Given this show has come on about 30 years too late, does anyone have any babies they'd rather dump? I need some collateral for the casino.

OMG, in the first minute they announced "Welcome to Baby Dome!" (That would have been great if Tina Turner had said it. ) The last couple of minutes had the parents busting piggy banks to get the kid's college money. (I skipped everything in between.) And most of the "babies" were over 2 years old. Well, check back in 18 years to see if the show actually pays off the promised college money....

I think this is basic proof of what George Carlin said about babies/children pressured to succeed: "Isn't it a sophisticated form of child abuse?"

This show is back. It's almost like they fished a soiled diaper out of the trash to use again because it wasn't totally full. If it must air, it should be on a cable channel nobody watches (like History Channel....)
