mobbed I am happy to see that these youths in Chicago are following in the long-worn tradition of "community organizing and outreach.Known in the real world as violent flash mobs and strong arm robbery.And in some twisted form of ghetto logic, I'm sure all of this is due to the age old dilemma of the man holding a brother down. This time with high bail amounts because it's black-on-not black crime Mobbed" is one of a number of hidden-camera, surprise-themed series headed to TV in which the sole purpose is to make something unexpectedly lovely happen for a person, couple or family and share their wide-eyed reaction with primetime audiences.
Its warm and fuzzy themes contrast with many hidden-camera shows of the past, such as the filmed ambushes in "Cheaters" and "Scare Tactics," and the cruel joke premise of "My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiancé." Some industry watchers think shows such as "Mobbed," in the vein of "Undercover Boss," "Secret Millionaire" and "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," could signal a kinder, gentler sensibility on the way for reality TV. (Even "American Idol," where snarky Simon Cowell used to be a huge draw, has thrived with new kinder, gentler judges Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez in his place). "Mobbed," the brainchild of comedian Howie Mandel, did so well in the ratings earlier this year, with 10.8 million viewers, that Fox decided the next day to make it an eight-episode series. Each hour will star flash mobs that help deliver heartwarming messages in over-the-top, synchronized public fashion.
