I just heard about a new reality show in development for Fox. The working title is “Family Values”. Here are links to the promo pictures.

Synopsis: Grandfatherly John, a daffy, irascible (yet lovable) war veteran, reaches out to Sarah, a gun toting former beauty queen-turned-politician from Alaska, to help him in his dubious quest to be President of the United States. Together they set out on the campaign trail, broods in tow, on a wild and wacky tour of the lower 48 states. John, a Walter Brennan type (see “The Real McCoys”, circa 1957-63) is joined by his wealthy aristocratic wife, Cindy and their spunky daughter Meghan. Sarah brings along her snowmobile racing husband Todd and a passel of kids (Track the soldier, Bristol, the soon-to-be teenage mom, Willow, Piper Indy and baby Trig Paxson Van Palin).
As the availability of the main characters for a full season of filming cannot be guaranteed, the producers are evaluating professional talent to fill in, if necessary. Currently under consideration:
John McCain: Darrel Hammond “Saturday Night Live”
Cindy McCain: Vicki Iseman “The McCain Lobbyist Scandal”
Meghan McCain: Hilary Duff “Lizzy McGuire”
Sarah Palin: Tina Fey “30 Rock”
Todd Palin: Jeff Foxworthy “Smarter Than a Fifth Grader”
Bristol Palin: Miley Cyrus “Hanna Montana”
Willow Palin: Emily Osment “Spy Kids”
Piper Indy Palin: Abigail Breslin “Little Miss Sunshine”
Who said reality television wasn’t entertaining?
