Reality TV comes to Western Pa. for ‘Farm Kings’

Posted on September 29th, 2012 in New Shows by webmistress

Amidst all the broadcast network premieres this week, cable outlet GAC (check with your cable company for channel number) debuts a farm-based reality show filmed locally at Freedom Farms in Butler: “Farm Kings” (9 tonight).

A “Farm Kings” special aired on GAC earlier this year but now the series begins in earnest. The show follows the work (and off-the-clock) lives of the King brothers.

The three oldest — Joe, Tim and Pete — started Freedom Farms on 150 acres in 2009. There are nine King brothers total plus one sister. The show, at least in its premiere, is focused on the three oldest plus Dan (pictured at left), who is depicted as a bit of an irresponsible screw up.

Dan doesn’t stick to any job long — he was supposed to work in the family bakery for six months but only lasts four — and he overwaters the farm’s greenhouses, threatening the crops the guys are trying to grow. He’s also a bit of a hot head, tossing a wheelbarrow and driving a tractor in a manner that leads the brothers to suggest he’s going to get someone hurt one day.

R&B divas play nice for reality TV

In fact, fans of the shows expect harsh language and the knock-down, drag-out fights that are featured.

But R&B Divas, TV One’s newest reality series, looks to change that dynamic.

The show follows the lives of singers Faith Evans, Nicci Gilbert-Daniels, Monifah Carter, Syleena Johnson and Keke Wyatt as they join forces to record R&B Divas, an Evans album that features all the ladies and also pays homage to inspirations such as Whitney Houston.

“We all know that life has drama,” said Evans, who is also the widow of rap legend Christopher “The Notorious BIG” Wallace. “But what we wanted to showcase was that the drama doesn’t always have to be resolved in violence or fighting, that there can be some inspiring (going on) as well through reaching resolutions.”
