HOME > The Biggest Loser > The Biggest Loser: FamiliesNBC to premiere 'The Biggest Loser: Families' on September 16
NBC has announced The Biggest Loser: Families -- the reality weight-loss series' sixth-season -- will premiere Tuesday, September 16 at 8PM ET/PT.
However that plan changed in April when NBC announced the Fall 2008 installment would be a "family edition" featuring teams consisting of two family members each, with the minimum age requirement being 18-years-old.
At the time, The Biggest Loser: Families was also scheduled to air 90-minute episodes in the Tuesdays at 8PM ET/PT timeslot. But the reality series' broadcasts have since ballooned and will now air, similar to the show's fifth season, as two-hour episodes. As was previously announced, Alison Sweeney will reprise her hosting role for The Biggest Loser: Families, which will also include the return of fifth-season trainers Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper. While The Biggest Loser: Families was initially scheduled to serve as the lead in for Kath & Kim -- a new half-hour sitcom starring former Saturday Night Live comedian Molly Shannon and actress Selma Blair -- that is also no longer the case. Instead, The Biggest Loser: Families will serve as the lead in for Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, which will air Tuesdays at 10PM ET/PT beginning September 23. Kath & Kim will now air in the Thursdays at 8:30PM ET/PT time period beginning October 9. |
