NEW SERIES!

REALITY
This weight-loss show's gimmick is that its host, nutrition expert Charles Stuart Platkin, calls himself a diet detective and investigates the eating habits of the week's subjects. Wouldn't it be cool if he had a bloodhound to sniff out concealed trans-fatty snacks? The show is sensible, low-key entertainment, and the slimming results are gratifying.
