BRAVO Show to follow 'Sports Kids'
ZAP2IT.COM
Having delved into the world of "Showbiz Moms & amp; Dads," Bravo is now turning its attentions to the playing fields and gymnasiums of America.
The cable network is looking for participants in a new unscripted show, "Sports Kids Moms & amp; Dads." Like its "Showbiz" forerunner, the series will follow families whose kids are deeply devoted to excelling in a given sport, either of their own volition or at the urging of their parents.
The network has also ordered up more episodes of "Showbiz Moms & amp; Dads" and is working on a spinoff, "Showdog Moms & amp; Dads," about the dog-show life. All three shows are executive produced by Fenton Bailey, Randy Barbato ("The Eyes of Tammy Faye") and David Perler.
Bravo shouldn't lack for material in "Sports Kids." Youth sports have become a huge business over the years, with families sometimes shelling out thousands of dollars on coaching, equipment and travel so their kids can become top athletes. The familiar image of the screaming parent on the sidelines of a Little League game is likely to come into play in the series as well.
