"The Carbonaro Effect" is a TV show where Michael Carbonaro, a magician, pulls off incredible magic tricks on unsuspecting people. The show is unique because the magic happens in everyday situations and locations, making it seem like a hidden camera show. However, unlike most prank shows, Carbonaro's pranks are not mean-spirited and are designed to entertain rather than embarrass or scare people.

competition format. This time four hosts: an American singer and actress Kelly Brianne Clarkson, a nine Grammy Awards winner John "Legend" Roger Stephens, a singer and musician Robin Charles Thicke and an American country music artist Jennifer Nettles will compete in a quite unusual way. Their aim is to outrun the rivals by winning a song contest of duets. Each duet will consist of host itself and a partner they have to find. And all the intriguing things are starting here: Clarkson, Thicke, Legend and Nettles will travel USA to find the talents on which they would be totally dependent during the series run. As Clarkson said in the first interview as the host of Duets: "The simple fact that I get to go out and find two people I believe in, sing with them every week and help them accomplish their dream is an amazing thing I can't wait to be a part of". Well, we have to hope that the sharp-cut and unordinary idea of Duets will be implemented in the best way with all the fans of American Idol getting the new exciting show to watch instead. Even more, now you have a strong reason to sing at public places hoping John Legend is somewhere nearby to hear and pick you. Because the prize is really great: a contract with Hollywood Records for a winning duo that certainly worth most hardest efforts.

When reality television star Khloe Kardashian married Lamar Odom he might have suspected his personal life would turn into a three ring circus but he went ahead with it anyway. Most likely because he loves the krazy Kardashian and just might love the limelight as well being he is a basketball superstar in his own right. Khloe & Lamar are a couple in love and in the early months of a marriage there is usually plenty of sex happening and this couple is definitely no exception. The big difference is the couple is doing it (well almost) on television! Khloe decides a sex swing is just what they need to have kinky fun and so she and her friend Malika try to install one in Khloe's bedroom with hysterical results! When she and hubby Lamar try out the contraption they discover she did not secure it to the ceiling very well and the couple and swing fall on top of the bed. This is but one example of the crazy plots involved in this reality sit-com. Others include Lamar handcuffing his bride to him to teach her a lesson on babying him. Plenty of laughs especially if you're already a Kardashian fan!

As if anyone needs to be reminded, we love our fighting men (and women) and cannot wait for them to return home to us. This latest reality type show presented on the Lifetime Network could be considered a reality tearjerker because there are many crying children and adults involved. But these are all tears of joy because their loved ones have returned safely from active duty in the military. Whether they served in Afghanistan or Iraq, all they really want to do is return home safely and see their family again. Children miss their daddy or mommy and emotions run high in anticipation of their safe return. Now take those tender moments and put them onto the television screen before millions of viewers and you can see where this idea may get really personal. It's almost amazing how many of these veterans opt to put their family through the emotional intensity of their sudden arrival. The show brings these veterans home quite unannounced in order to see just how high their loved ones emotions can be. Hosted by Matthew Rogers (American Idol contestant).

Another one in a row of glamorous reality TV shows from BRAVO, Pregnant in Hills is revolving around quite enthusiastic and somewhat aesthetic self-made business-woman running her own business, a super-fashionable boutique for multi-millionaire mother-to-be, which is located in the Upper East Side. Her name is Rosie Pope, she is 32 and expecting her third baby. A poetess, writer, linguist, and social media expert, now she hosts her own TV show despite his American-British accents with a light lisp, which was mocked and spoofed in the latest SNL, to say the true this fact made her even more popular. The question is what kind of popularity it was. But, nevertheless, Rosie continues to teach pregnant women of all kinds (while they rich, of course) how to manage their fears about babies breaking the rules of their jet-setting life. If you are not pregnant, and not a woman at all, do not hurry to put an end on Pregnant in Hills. By and large, it's very funny to watch Pope trying to help in choosing that kind of name for the son of deep-pocketed New-Yorkers, which do not obscure his chances to become a politician. For those who are not pregnant and cannot brag enough sense of humor to find some amusement in this kind of scenes, watching this reality series is strictly forbidden.

When Bravo began promoting "The Real Housewives of Orange County" TV series in 2006, the producers and the network hyped the series as a "documentary" hybrid of ABC's monster hit "Desperate Housewives" and Fox's equally popular "The OC." The emphasis on "real" did not suggest "average and ordinary"; instead, it suggested "real" as opposed to the housewives on Wisteria Lane and all the pretty people in the rest of the prime real estate south of Los Angeles and north of Camp Pendleton. In its first several seasons, "The Real Housewives of Orange County" TV show beguiled and enraged viewers with its emphasis on five frighteningly wealthy women ensconced inside an exclusive gated community and addicted to shopping, tanning, and their own petty dramas: for example, should a smart-mouthed, disrespectful daughter get a new BMW or a new Mercedes for her sixteenth birthday? In subsequent seasons, reality has caught-up with the housewives, who have been forced to down-size and down-scale in the wake of job losses, foreclosures, marital problems, and other genuine crises in the lives of "real" housewives.
