NBC has slotted two new reality series from Mark Burnett.
The family competition series My Dad Is Better Than Your Dad will succeed American Gladiators in the 8 p.m. Monday slot beginning Feb. 18, while the comedy quiz show Amnesia will take over the 8 p.m. Friday slot Feb. 29, following a Feb. 22 debut at 9 p.m., after the season finale of 1 vs. 100.
NBC's original scheduling plan had another reality series, The Baby Borrowers, airing in the 8 p.m. Monday slot after Gladiators ends its run. But NBC executives are said to have gotten excited about "Dad" following the show's first taping over the weekend. Because of its format as a high-energy competition, it was deemed a better fit out of Gladiators than the social experiment Baby Borrowers.
Hosted by Dan Cortese, "Dad" features fathers and their son or daughter competing against other teams. The show, created by Jon Hotchkiss, is produced by Reveille, Mark Burnett Prods. and Hotchkiss Industries. Burnett, Mark Koops, Howard T. Owens, Mike Nichols and Jon Hotchkiss are the executive producers.
