Not big on reality shows but maybe an Ernie/Charles cameo might be worth it.

| Quote: | Former NBA player, current TNT analyst Kenny Smith gets reality show with family
Well, we now we know what show promos TNT is going to beat us over the head with during the next playoffs (following in the footsteps of “The Closer” and “Franklin & Bash)…
Kenny “The Jet” Smith — a nine-year NBA veteran who won two rings with the Rockets in the ‘90s and is now part of the brilliant “Inside the NBA” show on TNT — is getting his own reality show with his family. The show will air on TBS starting next spring. To point out what most of you know, TBS and TNT are both owned by Turner Broadcasting (which also runs NBATV).
Sure, we’d all rather have cameras follow Charles Barkley around and record the details of his life, but he is too smart to let that go public.
Smith is married to Gwendolyn Osborne-Smith, who is one of the prize-showing ladies on the game show The Price is Right, and has been since 2005. She’s had some other acting gigs including in “Any Given Sunday.”
Together they have five children, ages 2 to 20, all of whom will be part of the show.
I don’t know. I thought JaVale McGee was ripe for this kind of thing with the show he and his mother had (along with others) on the Oprah Winfrey Network, but that was pretty much unwatchable. This… I don’t know. I’m not much of a realty TV guy (outside of Top Chef, which is brilliant).
At least it should lead to some good ribbing of Smith on Inside The NBA. Barkley and Shaq should have a field day with it |

| Sorry, but has reality shows ever improved the public perception of a celebrity? I don't know of any celebrities where their public opinion improved because cameras followed around their personal lives. |

Yep.
I still remember him donning a red suit and bow tie when we were playing Houston in the playoffs. |

| Reality TV is destroying this country and leading kids to believe that they don't actually have to be talented to be successful. It should be banned!!! |

I'm sure there's one example out there somewhere none I can think of at the moment. |

| Seems like a nice enough dude, but not interesting enough for a reality show. |

| i already can't stand him on the TNT desk. The guy loves attention and in my opinion he is always cutting off other analysts and tries to make rehearsed antics seem spontaneous. I guess he did a good job of selling some network the idea that people find him funny. Either way, i won't bother tuning in. |

| I think this is actually wrong to do to the children, making a farce out of their home. I'm sure he makes a decent living and doesn't need to do this. |

That's okay. They'll be hit with true reality in about a year. |

Found something I totally agree with you about. I have zero interest.
