NBC is apparently taking a more active interest in PAX-TV, the last-place network in which it holds a 32-percent stake. According to Crain's New York Business, NBC has been helping the so-called family network develop a lineup of new shows that will be true to the spirit of founder Bud Paxson's vision of a broadcast network that offers an alternative to the sex and violence presented on the major nets, while at the same time attracting a larger audience. For example, among a number of reality shows that will be produced in the fall season, will be one featuring a houseful of people trying to quit smoking.

Oh. Well, yeah. I'll definitely tune into a show filled with people trying to quit smoking. :b

While I'm sure it'll be full of drama, I doubt it'll be the kind of drama I find entertaining.
