E! Sends Screech, Gary Coleman on Dates
Wed, Nov 13, 2002 05:30 PM PDT
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Just to be clear, E!'s new series "Star Dates" has nothing whatsoever to do with "Star Trek."
Even if the idea of 80-something Phyllis Diller being set up on a blind date seems like something out of science fiction.
E!, the network that brought you "The Anna Nicole Show," will launch "Star Dates" on Sunday, Dec. 15. The show is the latest addition to the ever-expanding pantheon of "reality" TV series and its concurrent stretching of the definition of "celebrity."
The series, which has a six-episode order, will try to show that the marginally or formerly famous are just like us regular folks when it comes to dating. Cameras will follow the likes of Diller, Dustin Diamond ("Saved by the Bell"), Gary Coleman ("Diff'rent Strokes") and Jill Whelan ("The Love Boat") as they go on blind dates with the non-famous.
The show is from George Verschoor, a producer of MTV's "The Real World" and FOX's "Murder in Small Town X."
