I have never been a fan of reality television shows. Programs like the " Basketball Wives", " Bad Girls Club" and the " The Real Housewives of Atlanta" just to name a few haven't been of interest to me. I think the shows are usually wild, bad acting, they sexualize women and plain and simple, just pure ignorance. But BET has picked up a new reality show that will definitely be worth the watch.

One of my favorite comedians and actors Gary Owen has a 10-episode reality series on BET that shows his life up close and personal. The show focuses on Owen's life that revolves around his wife Kenya and their three kids, Emilio(21), Kennedy(14) and Austin(15).

This is the type of reality show I enjoy to watch. After the first two episodes I could not stop laughing. No drama, no fights, no beefs, just pure fun and comedy.

Not only is this a funny and family oriented show but this program sheds a positive light on bi-racial relationships in the world. With Owens being white and his wife being African-American, this program will show how great interracial families can be. With all the racial tension and injustices going on currently in this country, Owen's show couldn't have come at a better time. The best part of the season so far that symbolizes racial unity is when Owen visited his wife's church. He was the only white person in the service and he didn't seem to care. Not only did he visit to please his wife, he decided to give his life to God and get baptized that day. It's not often you see something so genuine on reality television.

I recommend everyone see this show. Owen is a product of a broken home and Ohio native. Telling jokes became a reliable antidote to keep his peace of mind afloat during hard times. Comedy is the key to maintaining his career and is what keeps an unbreakable bond between Owen and his family of four.

The Gary Owen Show airs on Tuesdays at 9:30 pm. It is already recorded on my television just in case I miss it. Trust me, you will not be dissapointed and I guarantee you thirty minutes of laughter.
