stupid episode, but is anyone else having a problem with their HD feed for this?

getting a line or 2 of interference every couple of mins

Fine feed, lame show.

Acted poorly, poor writing, etc.

If they're trying to spoof Reality TV it's not working.
Seems like the only thing they're going for is shock value.

Just what is this family trying to sell?

the mother may be the worst mother in the world

the band.. i think this is all a scam to get us to listen to Big Dume

You got that right, clearly she is a gold miner, under occupation on her tax return it says: "I fuck my husband"

she fucked Elvis Presley, Burce Jenner and this record guy... what a life

His wife is a songwriter too. Co-wrote some songs with David Foster.

Didn't know that

Here is her bio from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Linda Diane Thompson (born May 23, 1950 in Memphis, Tennessee) is an American actress and songwriter.

Linda Thompson won several beauty pageants, including the 1972 "Miss Tennessee USA" title. In July of that year she began a relationship with the recently separated Elvis Presley and lived with him at Graceland for four and a half years. A few months after her late 1976 breakup with Presley, she signed on as a regular on the TV series Hee Haw where she performed until 1982.

In 1981, Thompson married former Olympic Games Gold Medalist, Bruce Jenner with whom she had two children. The marriage ended in 1983 and she appeared in a few motion pictures and made a number of guest appearances on different television series. In 1991 she married composer David Foster. With her new husband, she began writing lyrics for some of his compositions, notably the song "No Explanation" for the 1990 film, Pretty Woman. In 1992 they were nominated for a Grammy Award and an Academy Award for Best Song for their composition of the song "I Have Nothing" sung by Whitney Houston in the 1992 motion picture, The Bodyguard. Thompson wrote the lyrics to "The Power of the Dream", the official song of the 1996 Summer Olympics composed by Foster and Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds. In 2003, Thompson and her husband won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Music and Lyrics for "The Concert for World Children's Day."

She is active with her husband in humanitarian causes in the "David Foster Foundation Society."

Did anyone else think that it was odd that the movie they were screening just happened to be the one that was released to theaters just over two weeks ago?


This show appears to be pretty heavy on the pre-scripted content and low on entertainment value.

and just happened to be the exact one that the father wanted to watch

You mean it just happened to be a FOX film too? What a surprise!

Nobody is likeable here, not even the father. Are we supposed to have sympathy for him? After having a fit for inviting the neighborhood to park on his lawn he is bothered by his kids leaving the lights on?

This show is just plain stupid.

You think he could afford a better plastic surgeon for his wife w/ the amount of money in his coffers.

I agree this show is pretty lame but Spencer is very funny. When he was holding the grammy for Whitney Houston's "I'll Always Love You" saying that was his mama's favourite song was hilarious

They should adopt him and get rid of the other 2 kids they're annoying as hell

If Mr Foster is worried about his electric bill then why not live in a smaller house. There must be over a 100 rooms in there

What movie did they show?

Rebound

interesting note if you watch the beginning credits (i may have the exact titles mixed up) Spencer is the creator, one of the sons is Executive Producer, and everyone else is a Producer

Linda Thompson(drools) is pretty damn hot. Also, David Foster is my favorite producer in the industry and I always loved his stuff. I only watch this, because I'm a big David Foster fan. He also is proably one of the few people I would get really excited about actually meeting. David Foster is the shit, his wife is georgeous, his home is amazing, and he has developed such great talent(Micheal Buble, Josh Groban) that its mindbuggling. Those kids are just complete idiots. I don't blame him for being a dick towards them. They aren't even his kids, because if they were they would have some musical talent. That's sad...dad was Bruce Jenner, mom Linda Thompson, Stepdad David Foster. These kids don't know how lucky they are....I would love to meet david Foster. These kids just come off like, "Oh its just David Foster....big deal"

Either you're being sarcastic or you've not been following the thread...

That movie is the worst and most blatant example of product placement I have yet seen on TV. What a bunch of ham-fisted lame-oids.

This 'reality' show is as phony as the wife's titties.

FOX has just cancelled this show. It may be the shortest run in reality TV history...

Now we'll never know if those kids shape up.

I just read that David Foster is divorcing that ditz. According to Page Six:

I say good riddance to the whole lot -- David Foster is way too class an act to be involved with these idiots.

BTW, if you want to know more about Foster's professional accomplishments and humanitarian work:

What about Welcome to the Neighborhood? For shows that actually aired, I think The Will only got 1 episode.
