Welcome to Something for Nothing

When watching Fox recently I saw a commercial for a new show called Secret Millionaire. I loved the idea. Basically, the send millionaires into poor communities where they meet as many people as possible and then reward one of them a pile of cash. If this is produced right, it will be really interesting and eye opening to hear the stories of the people they meet. I love people and so I love to hear their stories. Let’s hope it’s presented the right way.

Here’s a full description of the show’s premise:

SECRET MILLIONAIRE is a dramatic unscripted series that takes viewers out of their comfort zones and into the heart of America’s social issues.

Each week, one of the wealthiest Americans, worth millions of dollars, will go undercover into one of the most impoverished and dangerous towns in America. Their job is to spend one week canvassing the town - meeting as many people as possible - some of whom will touch the millionaire with their dedication to helping others while others will have incredible stories of trying to overcome tremendous odds. On the final day, the Secret Millionaire meets with the chosen recipients and reveals his/her true identity and intentions - to give them a sum of money that is going to change their lives forever.
SECRET MILLIONAIRE will engage viewers in important social issues, extol the virtues of volunteerism and change the lives of disadvantaged people - and the philanthropists who helped them - in unexpected ways.

The Future on Fox blog posted a trailer for 24: Redemption. I must admit that this 24 trailer has even more production value than the highly acclaimed Fringe on Fox. Even if it’s not a completely fair comparison since 24: Redemption is a movie, but Fringe had a movie budget.

Watch the full finale of Hell’s Kitchen right here. I won’t spoil you with the winner, but let’s just say that I was a little disappointed. I can see why Chef made the decision he did, but I still would have liked to see the other person win.

Enjoy the finale of Hell’s Kitchen Season 4. I wonder what Chef will bring next season.
