LOS ANGELES, July 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Nick at Nite announced today that it will expand its slate of original programming with the November addition of a new reality series entitled, "Nick at Nite''s Family Face-Off: Hollywood," in which six families compete to win an ultimate family vacation. The announcement was made today by Larry W. Jones, President of TV Land and Nick at Nite.
Nick at Nite recently began to program originals in earnest with the June 20th launch of "Fatherhood," an animated series based on Bill Cosby''s best-selling book of the same name. The series, which stars Blair Underwood and Sabrina LeBeauf, has caught on with viewers and dovetails into Nick at Nite''s original programming strategy of creating shows that meet what the network refers to as the "Four F''s" criteria: programming that is Family-Friendly, Funny and Familiar. Nick at Nite''s newest original unveiled today will complement the network''s hit roster of proven modern classic sitcoms including "Roseanne," "The Cosby Show," "Full House" and the September addition of "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air" among others.
"Nick at Nite''s Family Face-Off: Hollywood," which is slated to premiere in November, will pit six families against one another as they compete to complete a variety of tasks -- many of which are TV-themed -- to win the ultimate family vacation. Each one-hour episode will end with the elimination of one family until the sixth episode, in which the two remaining families vie for the top prize. All six episodes highlight the families in a race from Southern California beaches to backlots, from hangars to hotels, and from mansions to makeup rooms -- begging for autographs, posing for photos with celebrities and participating in outrageous stunts to win the prize.
"Nick at Nite has hit full stride with both our popular acquired programming and originals like ''Fatherhood''," explains Jones. "We can now capitalize on our status as the Number One cable network among adults to branch out into more originals, like ''Nick at Nite''s Family Face-Off: Hollywood'' which is designed to offer unique, fun original programming that the whole family can enjoy."
