I'm working on the launch of several shows for TLC. One looks very interesting: The Secret Life of a Soccer Mom.
They take a woman who has given up her career to raise her family and ddrop her back into the working world at the point where she would have been had she not taken a break. They don't tell the family, though. They know mom is doing a reality tv thing but they think that she's off at a spa during the week, taking a break while a staff of people help take care of her household duties.
After a week of being in the workforce, (with a break every day to see highlights/lowlights of what happened with her family during the day on a video feed) she is then askes whether she might want to continue ot be a stay at home mom or go back to work.
I don't know how any of the episodes end, since they are still being edited, but I thought it was an interesting premise. I generally despise reality television but since it's paying the bills right now I'm starting to "appreciate" it more!
