Remember 70’s rock gods The Scorpions? They still rock. Just in case any of you forgot.

A&E’s Spying on Myself

Since I got cable, I’ve become a bit of a TV junkie, but like the days of my youth, I like to explore. I found out about a potentially awesome A&E reality show called Spying on Myself, where the people want to know the truth about something… so, through the magic of special effects and makeup, as well as with training from the CIA and acting coaches, people go undercover to talk to their own friends, family, and lovers to find out what people say behind their backs.

I don’t think the show has its own site yet, but the commercials look amazing. It premiers on A&E at 10pm March 1st. What’s up with these reality shows on at 10pm? Did they decide that prime time is going to shift? That people stay up later these days?

Anyhow, Spying on Myself, A&E, 10pm, March 1.

Ice Cube’s BLACK. WHITE.

FX is going to air a new reality show March 8th at 10pm featuring two families, one white, one black, living together in a house for 6 weeks. The twist is, through the magic of makeup wizardry, the families will be transformed from one race to another. The white people become black, the black people become white, and they go out into the world to experience life through the other race’s eyes.

Ice Cube says that most people, when they think of racism, think of Klansmen and Black Panthers, and that racism exists in much more subtle ways. The show’s aim is to expose the not-so-blatant racism that occurs everywhere, many times without people realizing it.

More information can be found at the show’s site here.
