Nigel Lythgoe is creating a new reality show for the CW to find the next famous singing family. Wow, that sounds like it's going to be a hit. But as Vulture points out, that Search for the Next Partridge Family show in 2004 did discover Emma Stone (above), so hey. Nigel clearly can't pick out talent though (see: the last few casts of American Idol), so don't expect lightning to strike twice.

I remember watching that show. The singing competition casting for the new Partridge Family show lasted longer than the actual show.


Face it TV is all about reality shows now. Especially basic cable channels. I don't watch hardly any of the basic cable reality shows but it amazes me what gets on TV.


Pawn shop, public storage, dog grooming, tow truck, tanning store reality shows.

^Worsters were talking recently about a new reality show about beards (the kind that grow on mens' faces,) so, yeah...

Emma Stone is an actress, not a singer; so they didn't discover a singer with that stupid show.

The would-be series isn't a done deal yet... Is there a point at which American viewers will consider the singing-contest market saturated?

Singing? Chile

Edited to make sense.

And cupcakes, cakes, fish tanks, eating weird stuff... the list is endless. I can't wait to kill basic cable.


One thing: reality shows make people uber rich. I live near Hoboken, NJ and the line for the Cake Boss' business goes around the block. This show made Buddy (a very nice guy - and so is his family) a multimillionaire.


I find it funny people want the next Partridge Family (I hated that show) instead of the REAL family the show was based on.


How many people remember the Cowsills? drevil
