If this post is particularly offensive or breaches someone's privacy, please contact me.
Last night I informed Leonard that there exists a TV show called "Say Yes To The Dress."

So, an Indian mom feeds Jewish kids, the Jewish mom feeds Italian kids, etc., etc. "Say Yes To The Food" was his original title but I reminded him that reality shows these days need "Wars" in the title (e.g., "Storage Wars"). This to him explained the success of The History Channel and its hit show "War Wars."
Infomania told me about "The Deadliest Warrior" -- surely "Deadliest War" could get greenlit? The research would be reasonably easy.

Ooh. And the moms would need to adapt their culinary specialties for the dietary restrictions of the other moms' children -- the Jewish mom scrambles to find a vegetarian version of chicken soup, the Indian mom cooks kosher and oh by the way one of the Jewish kids is lactose intolerant, the Italian mom has to figure out lasagna for a celiac child...
