This week's reality TV premieres: Feb. 1 to 7, 2021
Dear newsletter subscribers,
Good Sunday evening, and happy almost-February. How is it February tomorrow already? How is it Sunday night again? I'm still not used to the way days tumble into each other, and somehow take forever while the weeks and months evaporate. And then I saw that tweet noting that The Wonder Years premiered 33 years ago, and if it were airing today, its events would be set in 2001. That caused my brain to fold in itself.
But you're not here for my pseudo-existential musings, you're here for reality TV premiere dates, and I have them for you. Some new shows, some new documentaries, and a bunch of returning series.
First up: a new competition has two Top Chef winners and an Iron Chef winner engaged in very casual and friendly competition to recreate a celebrity's favorite fast food in each episode. It's called Fast Foodies (truTV, Thursdays at 10:30), and I'll have a review of it Thursday.
