Oprah has finally been lured into primetime for more than an Oprah Winfrey Presents mini-series outing. The grande dame of daytime will bring two new reality series to ABC.

The first - Oprah Winfrey's Big Give - follows ten people, who are given money and resources and then must find a "dramatic and emotional" way to help others with the cash. There will be weekly eliminations, and the winner will have his or her "wildest dream" made a reality. Oprah has promised that the eliminations won't be humiliating as they are on other reality series. If this set-up sounds familiar, it's because Oprah did the same thing on her show.
