2/27    Stupid human tricks:
        Fox doing 2nd version of 'Millionaire'
        http://www.cnn.com/2003/SHOWBIZ/TV/02/27/tv.joe.millionaire.ap
        \_ How about a reality show where there's this massive orgy,
           and couples get married according to who impregnated who?
           \_ Multiple wives!  Always makes for great TV.
              \_ It's been done.  We call it Mormonism.  And if you're a young
                 Mormon male your chances of getting 1 wife much less several
                 were near zero since the old codgers took them all starting
                 around 13-15 years old.  This is still true in the BFE places
                 in Utah where they still do the multiple thing.

Story Tools RELATED 25 Sweeps month concludes with Saddam, Blake 26 'Millionaire' crushes MJ, gets huge ratings 27 'Joe Millionaire' pair not so dreamy now NEW YORK (AP) -- Flush with the success of "Joe Millionaire," Fox executives said Wednesday that they are readying a second edition. Fox would not say when the hit reality series would return or how a sequel would differ from the first, which was based on a joke that everyone but the female competitors were in on. Grushow said the network "has come up with a notion that carries all of the same values forward. CBS was the most popular network in February when viewers of all ages are counted. But networks like Fox, NBC and ABC are intensely interested in the youthful demographic because it's craved by advertisers. The chaotic February sweeps was marked by intense competition for Michael Jackson programming and reality series like "American Idol" and "The Bachelorette" that could be moved and expanded in a scheduling chess game. Meanwhile, ABC announced Thursday it was preparing a fourth edition of "The Bachelor" that "has the heir to a well-known family, a 'Dynasty'-like family," ABC executive Susan Lyne said. Fox is about to debut "Married by America," a series based on the idea that it can marry off two longing-for-love people who had never met, In April, Fox presents "Mr. Personality," a series that "explores how looks effect love," said entertainment President Gail Berman.
