Premiere Dates Announced for My Dad Is Better Than Your Dad and Amne$ia

at .

NBC has announced the official premiere dates for a pair of new reality competition shows.

After American Gladiators finishes its current run, My Dad Is Better Than Your Dad will premiere on Monday, February 18.

This is seriously the premise: fathers and their respective son/daughter take part in challenges that test dad's strength, intelligence, and how he works together with his kin.

In addition to bragging rights, the winning dad will get money that can be used for his child's future.  The series will be hosted by Dan Cortese.

Also, after the season finale of 1 Vs. 100, Amne$ia (hosted by Dennis Miller, pictured) will premiere on Friday, February 22.

Craig Plestis, Executive Vice President of Alternative Programming, Development and Specials at NBC Entertainment made the announcement.

"If you love the competitive energy of American Gladiators and the outrageous challenges of Fear Factor, you'll love My Dad Is Better Than Your Dad," said Plestis. "Combined with our hilarious new quiz show Amne$ia, viewers aren't going to want to miss this great week of reality premieres."
