MIA Gene Simmons' Family Jewels Returns Tuesday July 20th at 9pm on A&E!
After being missing in action for quite some time now, A&E has finally released Gene Simmons Family Jewels from TV purgatory. They have offered no explanation to the loyal viewers for its suspicious disappearance and foul play must be suspected. A return date of Tuesday, July 20th for a one-hour special at 9pm/ET has been announced, along with a permanent schedule change to Tuesday nights.
Now in its 5th season, Tuesday will mark a milestone of the 100th episode of this oddly addicting show. For those who have not tuned in as of yet, its longevity alone should clue you in that you may just be missing out on some damn fine reality TV. The show follows iconic KISS frontman Gene Simmons and his longtime partner and former Playboy Playmate, Shannon Tweed along with their offspring Nick (21) and Sophie (18). It is a humorous, real and often times touching look into their world.
This long awaited, much anticipated return will be followed by KISSteria at 10pm. It seems that while they held Family Jewels hostage, A&E has embarked on a mission to further capitalize on the amazing popularity of the KISS phenomenon. KISSteria will follow KISS on tour for a behind the scenes look at the living legends at work. This year is the 35th anniversary of their groundbreaking Alive album. This promises to be pure nirvana for all the diehard KISS fans, young, old and in-between.
For those who have been left in suspension, who have worried, fretted and cried tears of despair, A&E owes a long overdue heartfelt apology. Cruelty of this magnitude should be penalized. It should be outlawed, and I for one, while outraged, eagerly anticipate its return.
