This is Seinfeld's new show ....

"The show, which is due to air on NBC in America this March, sees celebrities, comedians and sports stars judge who's right and wrong in real-life disputes between spouses."

Let see the first eppy has Alec Baldwin who went through a horrible divorce and custody battle with his ex-wife.

Madonna is rumored to be a judge divorce twice and rumored to have broken up A-rod marriage.

Sarah Silverman who was the factor in the breakup of Jimmy Kimmel marriage.

Then we have the host of the show Seinfeld himself who wife was married when they hooked up, anyone else seeing a trend here?

Also note the show's promo: "We're giving every marriage what it wants: A Winner!"

Well, if you have a winner, you also have a loser. This is the total opposite of POJA and will only be damaging relationships even further. They won't be helping anyone.

Wonder if they'll keep score of how many of the couples on the show end up divorcing?

I watched the premier episode.
It's not exactly marriage building.
It's done for laughs.

They present (on tape, not in person) married couples, who have a disagreement, a FUNNY disagreement, and the guest "judges" weigh in with funny comments. One liners. Jokes.

It's very light and frothy.
Not heavy handed.
Not serious disagreements.

#1 The husband had his beloved dog stuffed after it died, and intended to place it in a "shrine" of honor in their living room.

#2 The H wanted a "stripper pole" installed in the bedroom.

THIS SHOW DOES NOT TAKE IT'S SELF SERIOUSLY.
And we shouldn't either.

The really entertaining part is, the couples themselves, who seem to be having fun with their "problem".

I agree. I saw the show. Not TOTALLY entertaining, but it was a bit of fun......

The WHOLE time this part was going on I was thinking...."POJA, POJA, POJA".....Of course, I was also thinking...."Hmmmmmm girlfriend, how do YOU know you wouldn't like this???....It just might be "fun"?....Bring a bit of "excitement". back....Don't knock it till ya try it".... flirt

If I had been important enough to ask, I would have sided with the H..... blush

Ahem, Pep & Not, y'all is WRONG! stickout It was an "EXERCISE POLE"!!! rotflmao

I loved when the host of the show was doing his bit about the thongs...Pretending to hold them up one at a time - "How 'bout this one? Or this one? Or this one? Maybe this one?" Or Seinfeld's comment about them - "Why wouldn't you just stop at 30?" grin grin grin

I think the show is a scream - definitely not to be taken seriously...

Like you though, Not, I found it impossible for me to turn off my MB filter...
