You Better Be Good to Me

Knowing America's TV tastes, "I Am Bobby Brown," or whatever the hell it's called, will be the No. 1 show of the season. We simply have no shame.

The program promises to be a study in contradictions. The eight half-hour episodes will shed light on Brown's relationships with his children, his brother and Houston -- the 41-year-old multiplatinum pop songstress he married 13 years ago.

It will also document his release from jail and one of many courtroom appearances -- including for charges of hitting Houston during a 2003 argument.

In the series' opening scene at a restaurant, Brown chats up a pair of businessmen who know his reputation but don't realize they're talking to the man himself.

"You recognize me now?" Brown asks, bending over and pushing his hands behind his back to mimic being handcuffed.

If only reality TV had existed back in the '70s, Ike Turner would have been a TV star then and not living under a bridge somewhere in Memphis. Hey, Ike's back! Anna Mae! Anna Mae!
