I Love Prime Time Television

So Deion Sanders and spouse are the latest entry into the always successful "Daily Life of a Celebrity Family" niche of Reality TV. As we have learned from previous forays into the category, these shows are always a slam dunk both for ratings and relationship health (e.g. The Newlyweds, The Osbournes, and Hogan Knows Best).



Nobody, apparently, ever bothered to inform Mrs. Sanders that when you marry a rich and successful man... you know, like the ONLY person to ever play in both the super bowl and the world series... or perhaps the ONLY person to ever hit a home run in the MLB and score a touchdown in the NFL in the same week... you have to give up certain hopes and dreams... for instance, having a husband that will actually get his own beer from the refrigerator... ever.

I do find the title "Prime Time Love" a bit off of the mark for a show about Deion Sander's dysfunctional marriage. Why not "Half hour of power with Neon Deion", or if you're after the classic theater buff demographic, how about "Deion and Pilar Sanders: A tragic comedy", and the opening credits could feature Deion and equally ridiculous spouse Pilar wearing the tragedy and comedy masks. It certainly isn't any more off the mark than the premise of the show in the first place.
