Remember the scene in ‘Meet the Parents’ where Robert De Niro hooks Ben Stiller up to the lie detector test? Pretty intense way to met your future Father-in-Law, right? Would make for a pretty interesting TV show, right?

We’re working with a major cable network that is currently casting couples and their future in-laws to participate in a hilarious new TV series about getting to know your future family.

Show Premise: For one week, the man and woman will leave each other to go live with their future in-laws for 5 days.
At the end of the 5-day week the couple will should have a better understanding of each other and their future families and  Over these 5-days the moms and dads “test” (see photo above) their future son or daughter-in-law with activities like cooking, cleaning, yard work, all in an effort to see if they have what it takes to be a good husband or wife.

Casting: The casting producers will come to your homes to interview you. This process will take approximately an hour and will involve an on-camera casting session.

Time Frame: If you’re approved for the show, taping will take place in your homes for 5-days (everything is pre-planned). The producers will do everything they can to work around your schedules. Ten episodes will be shot in total. Four have already been cast, so act now if interested!

Compensation: Couples will be paid $5,000 for their participation.

Interested couples from the NYC area can contact Pamela Hartman by e-mail at pamelarhartman@gmail.com or by phone at 631.241.1560.

Does the word “mother-in-law” send shivers down your spine?

Do you feel like she’s a snake in the grass waiting to catch you slipping up?

If you answered yes to the questions above, don’t worry; it’s very common for grooms to fear the mother of the bride. These fears probably revolve around the assumption that since you’re “stealing” her daughter away, mom is going to be out to get you. The truth is that she’s not “out to get you,” but rather she’s watching closely to make sure that you’re going to be a great husband and treat her daughter the way she deserves to be treated…

Father’s Day is approaching and it seems like as good a time as any to give some thought to the new guy in your life, her dad. Pop culture would have you believe that all Fathers of the Bride see you as a potential threat, or are looking for you to take care of their little girl.

Obviously, this isn’t true. At this point in your life you’ve probably met guys who like sports and those who don’t. You know guys who know how to fix a car, and those who can’t drive, guys who can build things, and those who have the plumber on speed dial. The point is that guys are guys, and there’s no reason to believe your future father-in-law will fit a stereotype any more than you do.

Relax, take some time to get to know this guy as a person. After all, you’ll be spending a lot of time together, for a long time!
