Bob Saget is an interesting guy. He's best known as the über-clean-cut star of 'Full House,' and the equally clean-cut host of 'America's Funniest Home Videos.' But outside the world of mainstream TV, he's known for something else. Mr. Saget is, in fact, a legendarily profane stand-up comic. It just goes to show that everyone has hidden depths.
His new series 'Strange Days With Bob Saget' is all about exploring hidden depths -- his own, and other people's. Bob tracks down weird subcultures, and shows a charming willingness to take part in the most bizarre activities.
On the latest episode (Tue., 10Pm Et on Aetv), Saget meets up with a group of hunters who spend their free time searching for Sasquatch -- or "Bigfoot," if you prefer. Bob is skeptical, but then -- while standing out in the forest in the...

In its continuing quest to turn into make VH1 look high brow, A&E announced a bunch of new series for the upcoming year, most of which center around "celebrities." Here's a look at what to expect:
New Reality
The Squad: Prison Police: follows the people who investigate crimes committed by residents of the Tennessee prison system.
The Peacemaker: follows Malik Spellman, who works as a violence prevention counselor in gang-ridden South Central La. He brings his work home with him, often mediating disputes between rival gangs. Ice-t, whose own commitment to violence prevention can be heard in his 1992 single "Cop Killer," is the executive producer.
I'm Heavy: follows obese people trying to lose weight in a six-month therapy and treatment program. Like The Biggest Loser, except none of the fun Temptation Challenges or Jillian Michaels.
Intervention in Depth: One Man Rehab: follows addicts into rehab after the intervention. You know,...

A&E is stocking up on celebrity reality projects with new series starring David Hasselhoff, Bob Saget, Dee Snider and Tony Danza. In addition, the network is also ordering both a spin-off and a companion series to its popular "Intervention" franchise.
The announcements are part of A&E's upfront pitch to advertisers which includes eight new series and touting six consecutive years of ratings growth. The network also cited the development of four new scripted crime procedurals and a remake of the movie "Coma" produced by Ridley and Tony Scott.
Reality continues to be the network's stock in trade, with the network ordering "I'm Heavy," which is billed as a companion to "Intervention." Each of the 10 episodes will show overeating patients undergoing a six-month treatment program, with the story of two individuals shown in each episode (Tijuana Entertainment/Megalomedia). Eating disorder shows have received a sudden surge of interest from networks in recent weeks,...

Remember when A&E used to air opera and stage plays? (You know, the “Art” part of the cable network’s name, before the ampersand.) Ah, memories. These days, the network has officially changed things up, showing a commitment to celebrity reality fare. The roster of new reality series just announced for next season, for instance, is full of enough B-list celebrities to cast a Love Boat episode. There’s a David Hasselhoff show in which the Baywatch star helps his daughters break into the recording industry. Another with Tony Danza going back to high school to teach an English class in Philadelphia.

Don't hassle the Hoff, especially when he's reaching for new heights of reality fame with his whole family in tow.
According to the Live Feed, A&E just announced their upcoming programming slate for advertisers, and it seems that the Arts and Entertainment Network is forgoing the "art" in favor of a slew of new reality shows fronted by some (admittedly entertaining) celebrities.
Front and center is a new David Hasselhoff series, in which the 'Baywatch' star turned reality judge attempts to help his four daughters break into the recording industry. The as-yet untitled project has been ordered for 10 episodes in the fourth quarter. 'Strange Days with Bob Saget,' starring -- you guessed it -- Bob Saget, has been given a six-episode pickup for later this year. The series will feature the actor-comedian immersing himself in strange cultures, practices and occupations.
