Fox's "The Moment of Truth"

This new show is absolutely ridiculous! And I mean that in the best way possible. Incase you haven't caught it yet, this is how it works- they put a contestant on stage and ask him/her a series of yes or no questions to which the contestant must answer truthfully. Before the show, the same questions were asked to the person while they were hooked up to a lie detector test, so they have the results stored and they're revealed as the show goes on. Every 6 questions or so, so long as the contestant has answered them all correctly, they win a certain amount of money. That amount increases each time. If the contestant does not tell the truth, they lose all the money earned thus far and they're dunzo.

Here's where it gets interesting- three of the contestant's family and/or friends (usually a significant other is present) are there, and the questions get downright BRUTAL. This stuff is bound to break up marriages, no joke. 

Dude on right now has a serious gambling problem and they're just nailing away at him with all these intense questions about how much money he's lost, if he's gambled away his children's college funds, oh snap and now they're going for the relationship questions: "Have you ever made a pass at one of Lily's [his longtime girlfriend] friends?" "Would you break up with Lily if your ex-wife [of 18 years] wanted to get back together with you?"

God, why didn't I think of this show?!? Sheer brilliance.
