TV ROUNDUP: MARY MARY JOIN REALITY TV / OPRAH’S NEW PRIMETIME SHOW on OWN

Gospel duo, Mary Mary are making their way to reality TV! The singing sisters have officially partnered up with WEtv and will be giving us all a glimpse of how they strive for balance between their hectic careers and growing families. Below is a little synopsis of their reality series:

Music is a family business for the Campbell sisters: Erica’s husband, Warryn, is the group’s producer and Tina’s husband, Teddy, is the drummer in Jay Leno’s band. Outside of the recording studio, both ladies struggle to balance family life — a challenge all on its own. Erica and Warryn are expecting their third child in February, and Tina and Teddy are raising a blended family of four. The sisters also have a very large, extended family of seven siblings to deal with — one of which is the group’s stylist — and their parents, who have been married and divorced three times to each other, and now currently separated. When it comes to finding harmony, singing’s the easy part!

Their new 8-episode original series is tentatively titled MARY MARY and is set to premiere on Thursday, March 29th at 9pm ET/PT. Definitely look forward to the trailer. Will you be watching?

OPRAH WINFREY COMES BACK TO PRIMETIME TV

Of course, this news isn’t too much of a surprise. Oprah Winfrey is coming back to primetime television only this time, it’s for a New Year’s Day special.

The OWN network announced Winfrey’s primetime series which will be called Oprah’s Next Chapter. The two-hour episode will feature a one-on-one interview with Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler. In the two-hour premiere, Winfrey and Tyler talk about everything from his drug addiction past to his to his gig with American Idol.

“After 25 years I got myself out of the studio chairs. I moved into the next chapter, and I am having more fun than ever — moving around the country and the world talking to people I’m really interested in getting to know and I think viewers will be, too,” said Winfrey. “It is so energizing to be out and about in the world exploring new people, new places and new ideas.” [Source]

The weekly series will also feature Paula Dean, George Lucas and Sean Penn in the coming weeks. Oprah’s Next Chapter premieres on Sunday, January 1 at 9pm EST. Continue

Looks like Oprah’s OWN network is trying to get a piece of the reality TV pie! Sweetie Pie’s is the newest addition the the Fall 2011 television series roster.
