I wasn't surprised to see NBC extend its "The Biggest Loser" episode to 2 hours. Networks stretch out programming especially reality programming. However, I might be impressed with what they are doing for the first hour on Wednesday.
The trainers, Bob and Kim, along with Season 2 winner Matt head to their high schools to teach students about proper exercise and nutrition.
Unless it's filled with commercials for products such as what we have seen lately from TBL, it could have some real educational purpose. And perhaps have an episode to tape so kids can watch it later.
This would be true in an ideal TV world; I smell commercialism anyway. Hopefully, the program can be a valuable tool of real-life efforts to help people eat better and exercise more. I plan to run tape on it Wednesday (8 pm Eastern), and will let you know what I think.
