Gene Simmons Family Jewels was a great show. It featured the kinky haired carnival huckster and girlfriend Shannon Tweed and their two children Nick and Sophie. It was funny and engaging. Their children stole the show with their banter and sarcasm. Portraying very normal children in a very abnormal world.
Shannon became Mrs Gene and well, that was it. The show disappeared. Fear not Shannon and Sophie are back with their own show and well from what I can tell it’s an 8 episode test drive. A mother daughter love hate for all to watch. The W network will carry the show
“We are thrilled to be working with W Network and Shannon and Sophie on this series,” said Executive Producer John Ritchie, of Force Four Entertainment. “They’re a true dynamic duo – outgoing, savvy, enterprising and smart as hell. Their legions of fans will be highly entertained as they rock into the next exciting chapter in their lives.”
“Soph and I have a great relationship and filming together is always such fun, I’m thrilled we’ll now have our own show”, said Shannon. Sophie added, ‘’It’s amazing the friendship my mom and I have. She’s my rock, my best friend and even though we are very different, ultimately we agree on the important things in life. I’m excited to start shooting and give viewers a glimpse into our world.”
“There is so much to love about this new series – from their mother–daughter dynamic to the unusual and highly entertainingbig personalities in the world they live in,” said Vibika Bianchi, VP Original Programming, Women’s and Family Networks, Corus Entertainment. “We’re excited to see Shannon and Sophie open up their lives to W’s audience.”
I’ll keep you posted- I love cheeky reality shows.
