Vh1 is at it again on the reality TV front, with The T.O. Show. Wide receiver,  Terrell Owens is a brash, outspoken superstar in an abrupt transitional phase. The show finds the Alexander, Alabama native at the end of his tenure with the Dallas Cowboys (he got cut), preparing to begin a new chapter in Buffalo, but also trying to straighten out matters off the field when it comes to friends, love and family. TO, with the help of his best friends and publicists, Monique and Kita, will spend some time in LA to  get his life back in order. The goal is to help reconcile the contradictions in his persona. He’s both “TO,” a controversial hero to thousands of fans, and “Terrell Owens,” a single guy still searching for the right woman (he lost a fiancee because of his infidelity).

I previewed the trailer and first episode, and the show looks entertaining—not just in the usual goofball attention-seeking-get-ratings kind of way, but also in a relevant, down-to-Earth kind of way. I’m looking forward to Terrell’s visit with his estranged father, an encounter that will raise two questions: Is Terrell’s relationship with his father why he is the man he is today? And, will it inspire Terrell to rethink his own role as a father?

The show premiers on July 20 at 10pm, but check out the season trailer and snippet from episode one:
