I recently blogged about the high quality of shows on Sunday night, including The Amazing Race, The Apprentice, Shark Tank (recently moved to Fridays) and, of course, 60 Minutes.
I forgot about a couple of shows I like, however, including "Secret Millionaire" and "America's Next Restaurant".
I go through about 17 boxes of tissues a week watching "Secret Millionaire", the ABC show in which a wealthy person goes from his/her opulent surroundings, usually in L.A. or Florida, to do charity work in a rough inner-city environment like Compton or Detroit.
The wealthy, but usually big-hearted people, receive eye-opening experiences and wind up giving away tens of thousands of dollars.
Nice stuff...even through all the pain, heartbreak and sorrow many people are going through.
"America's Next Restaurant", on the other hand, is about a group of 10 contestants who are trying to get a group of four famous restaurant entrepreneurs to invest in their idea/concept for the next great chain.
Steve Ellis of Chipotle and celebrity chef Curtis Stone are two of the people the contestants are trying to impress. I am not sure what it is, however, but this show lacks something.
Whether it's a fiery chef throwing pots and pans around or an eccentric character like Donald Trump or Mark Cuban it just needs another ingredient.
Tell me what you think and tty again Tuesday!
I concur with your sentiments about both shows.
