Mark Burnett's New Game Show My Dad Is Better than Your Dad
September 26, 2007–Mark Burnett will be the gameshow guru, setting up “My Dad Is Better than Your Dad” at NBC. Mark Burnett Prods. is teaming with Reveille (“The Biggest Loser”) on the eight-episode project. The game's premise has fathers and their families facing off against other families in stunt-driven challenges.
“Dad” will be Burnett's third primetime show. In addition to “Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader,” he recently set up truth-or-consequences gameshow “Amnesia” at NBC.
“Dad” will be a joint production of Reveille, Mark Burnett Prods. and Hotchkiss Industries. Burnett said the reality show will mix family fun and kid empowerment of '5th Grader' with the concept of bragging that “my dad is the best.”
Players will compete for various prizes during each episode, with a cash amount as grand prize.
