MONDAY (2/18)
- Prison Break (FOX, 8pm): Tonight may be the end of the show as we currently know it. Maybe Michael can finally let go of that steely gaze now.
- Dance War (ABC, 8pm): The next Dancing with the Stars contenders will be announced during the spinoff’s season finale. Finally, a reason for me to watch.
- Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious (CW, 9pm): Robin Antin is searching for a gal to complete an entirely different musical act. With Danity Kane already taken, she had to settle for the 2nd crappiest group name available.
- My Dad is Better Than Your Dad (NBC, 9pm): “This competition series features fathers and their children in challenges that test the patriarch’s strength, intelligence and parenting skills.” Since when did NBC start stealing ideas from Nick TV?

Mark Burnett’s Latest Show
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Games, Prime Time, Reality, CBS, FOX, NBC, Apprentice, The - Donald, Survivor,
Lest you think that Mark Burnett is satisfied with just sitting back on the millions he’s earned off of Survivor, The Apprentice, or Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader... think again. Burnett is ready to spawn yet another wildly successful game show based on the childhood braggings of believing that your dad is better than all others. Seriously, that’s the premise. And with all things that come from the mind of Burnett, it’s likely to be a runaway hit. So, remember when you thought your dad was the coolest (and maybe you still do!)? On My Dad is Better Than Your Dad (really, no sense in shortening the title or coming up with some clever play on words), dads will be put to the test to see if, in fact, they are better than someone else’s dad. And if they are the “bestest,” the winning family walks away with cash and prizes. The show will be a mid-season offering on NBC. At this point, I’m pretty sure that anything Burnett pitches to the network will make it on the air. So watch out for “My Toilet is Cleaner Than Yours” or “Are You Smarter Than Your Dog?” If it’s from Burnett, it’s gold.
