What’s It All About? Remember that wavy-haired hunk Lorenzo Lamas from the 1980s hit Falcon Crest? Or, if you’re younger, you may better know his blond bombshell daughter Shayne Lamas, who won last year’s The Bachelor: London Calling. Well, those two — along with Shayne’s brother A.J., mom Michelle and sis Dakota — make for one dysfunctional reality mess. Dad Lorenzo and son A.J. are in what Lorenzo calls a “strained” and “unusual” relationship, where they haven’t even been in the same room together for years. The series, produced by Mike Fleiss, chronicles their life and relationships with the family’s ultimate hope for healing. “There is only one way to get a family together and that’s television,” Fleiss jokes. “That’s what the E! channel is all about.”
Lorenzo takes a more serious approach to the show. “There’s a chance that we can make things better through the circumstances of a television show,” he says. “I am just looking at it as an opportunity to get closer to my kids, the two kids who I really never got a chance to see much of when they were younger because I was working so much. We are in a sense rebuilding our lives, professionally and personally.”

    BLECH BLECH BLECH!!
    Why should we emphasize and focus on a bunch of privelaged, no-good non-contributors to society. How about a show on the average, struggling family with the insecure, overweight daughter due to this kind of crap that is on every channel. How about pushing social acceptance of internal beauty and how that is much more important that external looks. Something to boost ones self esteem and not another show which will most certainly cause another case of bulemia, cutters and suicide!!
    No I am not an ugly, miserable bored girl. I am just tired of seeing another show of “silver spoon” kids partying and shopping all the time and not doing anything productive or realistic.
