'Architecture School' (9PM, Sundance) series premiere
Into every summer a little feel-good TV should fall, and Sundance has that covered with this six-part documentary, which covers a Tulane University architecture student program that's helping rebuild post-Hurricane Katrina New Orleans.
The show follows a group of seniors in Tulane's architecture department who must conceive, design and then actually help build a new home for a family hoping to get back on its feet in the city.
The students compete with each other to see who can come up with the best plan for a single-family house that is innovative, affordable, environmentally friendly and features bold design elements, but the real winners are, of course, the new homeowners and the still-struggling Big Easy.
George Foreman boards the reality train

TV Land announced today that they will follow ex-boxing champion George Foreman for their new reality series, Family Foreman. The show will consist of six half-hour episodes that feature George balancing his many business endeavors with his family life. I think this show will be entertaining but I also think that MTV beat TV Land to the punch with Run's House. The shows sound very similar. An immensely successful and famous dad who is also a loving father and husband. A stay-at-home mom who is everyone's rock. And a load of children with different personalities and pursuits. Thankfully, all of George's sons (who are incidentally all named George) have been given nickames: Monk, Big Wheel, Red, and Joe. I feel bad for the one that got "Joe." They couldn't come up with something more creative or more bad ass (like Big Wheel).
Family Foreman will premiere on Wednesday July 16th at 10 p.m. on TV Land.
