This show has a nice premise. However, the way is is executed is horrible. Does anyone really want to see 10 minutes of pictures of kids morphing into 40 year olds twice during the show? It seems to take forever,and no matter the age differences in the kids, they drag it out the same. I've seen two full episodes, and the host always say the same thing, "you are killing your kids" in an accent that sound affected at times. The hostess may be one of the big problems with the show. She's uninteresting, self-important, and generally annoying on screen. Admittedly, she may not be this way in real life due to editing. I would rather see the dramatic morphing stopped and more time spent with the family, including a follow-up a month later or so.

OK. It's made by the Sci-fi channel, one of the kings of B (ok too generous) C/D movie production. (Does anyone know if they ever made a good movie that wasn't a miniseries? Dune and Children of Dune were good. Does anyone actually expect Sci-fi to make a good made for TV movie that is not a miniseries?). The writers, director, and actors all know this and play to it. The movie is bad, but because everyone involved knows this, it actually becomes very funny at points. It even makes fun of some the classic horror movie clichés. The requisite couple having sex that dies early (everyone knows that the first people to have sex or get into their skibbies always dies) are two geriatric escapees from a nursing home. Realize what we all know, its bad, its meant to be bad, and enjoy, and revel in the badness.

(must have for B/C movie collectors)
