The Moment of Truth

Guess what I’m watching tonight! Seriously, this is as guilty as guilty pleasures get, isn’t it? It’s going to be a glorious train wreck.

If you don’t know what I’m talking about, here’s the scoop:

TELL THE TRUTH AND WIN $500,000 ON AN ALL-NEW “THE MOMENT OF TRUTH” PREMIERING WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 23, ON FOX

THE MOMENT OF TRUTH is the game show that puts participants to the test – the lie detector test – to reveal whether or not they are telling the truth for a chance to win half a million dollars. Participants answer 21 increasingly personal questions honestly, as determined by a polygraph, to win the money. Prior to playing, participants are strapped to a lie detector and asked a series of questions by a polygraph expert, who records their answers. The questions are easier when the stakes are low, but as the prize amount increases, they will be challenged to fess up to matters they might normally lie about. The touchier questions could be especially difficult because participants reveal their answers in front of spouses, relatives and friends, who are in the audience hanging on every word. What deep dark secret will someone divulge for hundreds of thousands of dollars? Find out on the series premiere of THE MOMENT OF TRUTH Wednesday, Jan. 23 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (MOT-101) (TV-14; D ) CC

Host: Mark L. Walberg

This has the potential to be the lowest level of public humiliation porn ever. Remember the “Body Count” ticker in that Hot Shots movie? They should totally have a “Families Ruined” ticker in the top right corner of the screen for this piece of tasteless garbage. This is such a gratuitous appeal to the worst in all of us, and the producers should be ashamed of themselves.

I’m so watchin’ it…
