NBA analyst Kenny Smith starts a new game with TBS reality show

Kenny Smith, the former NBA star who has transformed into a popular NBA analyst for Turner Sports, is getting into a new game -- the reality show game.

TBS has greenlighted “The Smiths,” a new unscripted series that will feature Smith, his wife, Gwendolyn Osborne-Smith, and their five children. The cable network has ordered six episodes of the series, which is scheduled to premiere next spring.

According to the news release, “The family at the center of ‘The Smiths’ is headed by Kenny and Gwen, who probably never would have guessed when they got married that their conflicting parenting styles, whirlwind schedules and family chemistry would turn their quiet home into an absolute mad house -- albeit a loving one.”

Smith “has just about everything he needs to be considered the Coolest Dad on Earth--everything that is except the ability to impress his own kids,” who range in age from 2 to 20, with the older kids having their own successful careers. Meanwhile, his wife, who is a model and singer, is featured on “The Price Is Right” game show.
