The Baby Borrowers?

Who has heard of this show on NBC, The Baby Borrowers? They give teens who seem to think they're ready for children real life babies and then the tv crew films these teens, presumably, failing at child care. If you were a parent would you give your kids up to this show? Do you think the concept is helpful or a little odd? I'm not worried about the kids as it's a network show, but it's still a bit odd.

Chrissy Jenks I don't really see tons of educational potential in this show, but I suppose it could be used as a teaching tool. I'd imagine that you'd need to have some serious discussions and that's where the real benefit would come from, but this show could be a catalyst I suppose.

gemmabell In light of the recent news surrounding the teen girls making a pregnancy pact, this show looks pretty interesting and may give an inside look at the trial and triumphs of being a young parent. I'm excited to check it out on NBC on June 25th.

Devon Charles I think this is a worthwhile show to teach teens about the rigors of being a parent. I invite you all to check out the premiere episode tonight on NBC. 9pm, 8 central time. Ha, i think their slogan is, it's not tv, it's birth control. let's hope so.

Gary It's about time that show made it onto the air. We need some real life AKA TV examples of what teens raising kids really looks like. Its not Juno and not everyone has the dough that Jamie Lynn Spears has...
