Love, Later In Life: Lynn and Clarence at their wedding

On Valentine’s Day 2012, sparks will fly on The Brand New ONE with the world premiere broadcast of Love, Later in Life, an original 30-minute documentary hosted by veteran television journalist Jojo Chintoh.

Love, Later in Life explores the courtship and present life of four sets of couples who unexpectedly fell in love after 45. Lynn and Clarence (48 & 69) met on the golf course; Gordon & Sharon (65 & 70) connected at a seniors’ speed dating event; Hugh and Ethel (93 & 82) met at their retirement residence; and high school sweethearts Ray and Linda (63 & 62) re-kindled their romance over 40 years later.

Widowed or divorced thrice over, most thought it would be nice to find an occasional dinner mate or travel partner, but had closed the book on giving love another shot. Instead, they found much more than they were looking for.

Sharon and Gordon

Ray and Linda

Ethel and Hugh

Through intimate interviews, Jojo Chintoh brings viewers their fresh perspectives on
passion, relationships, and the meaning of life. Time’s ravaging hands don’t seem to matter anymore. That wrinkle on your face now adds “character”. Those extra pounds really are “love handles”. She wants it platonic, he wants sex, but he’ll abstain for the sake of companionship.

Studies show that sexual and emotional satisfaction actually increases with age, and
as our couples unanimously reveal, the secret to a long life is having someone to love. “I can’t believe it. I feel like a kid again. This is silly,” they say.

Age is just a number when it comes to Dating, Mating and Relating.

Love, Later in Life
The Brand New ONE: February 14 at 8pm ET / 5pm PT

Sports Dads takes a look at the stress filled lives of kids being groomed for sports stardom – whether they want it or not.  The emotional and physical pressures placed on 11-14 year old athletes from their sports-obsessed parents is a very real and problematic trend. These are talented kids who have spent the better part of their childhood training to become mega-athletes.  The child athlete culture has parents fixating on only one aspect of their kids’ lives, and they lose focus on what is important. These Sports Dads (and Moms) need a time out.

Deion Sanders, one of the most versatile athletes in history and the only player to compete in the World Series and Super Bowl, responds to pleas for help by showing up unannounced to intervene between these unsuspecting parents and their teen athletes. He pushes back when these kids are pushed beyond their limits, and examines the toll such efforts can take on children.  Sanders forces parents to realize that their good intentions may be damaging their kids and forms a “Game Plan” to create a balance between sports, health and family.  He mentors kids and their parents towards a positive self-image and success and reiterates that sports should be fun and never compromise your health and happiness.

Sports Dads airs Fridays at 7:30pm ET / 4:30pm PT starting November 18 on the Brand New ONE.

Chef Jet Tila

Bring the yum of Asian cooking into your kitchen with the renowned Chef Jet. Chasing the Yum airs weekdays on The Brand New ONE starting November 9 at 5:30pm ET/2:30pm PT and November 10 at 1:30pm ET/10:30am PT.

Yum is the Thai word for the perfect balance of spicy, sweet, sour and salty and Chef Jet Tila demystifies the traditions of Asian cooking with easy to follow demonstrations and a sense of fun. Learn how to make Drunken Noodles and his award winning Tom Yum & Tom Kha Gai.

Chef Tila is a nationally recognized chef of all styles of Asian cuisine. His passion for Asian food began at an early age and as a boy, he spent time learning the ancient traditions of classical Asian cuisine in family restaurants and at the Bangkok Market. At age 10, Jet realized his deep connection to food sprung from a deeper connection to his history; learning family traditions from his Cantonese grandmother further piqued his interest. In his early teens, Jet was making appetizers at his family’s restaurants. At 22, he was teaching cooking classes in his backyard — a phenomenon that caught the attention of The Los Angeles Times.

Chef Jet’s Le Cordon Bleu education, coupled with his extensive knowledge of Asian gastronomy, have given him a wide range of ideas to draw upon and a broad framework to craft incomparable and innovative cuisine. He has also completed an intensive program of study at the California Sushi Academy.

More recently, Jet was responsible for opening the Pacific Cafe at Google headquarters in Silicon Valley and he holds the Guinness World Record for the “World’s Largest Stirfry” at 1,805 pounds. He is the Asian food consultant to the Bon Appetit management company.

With obesity and diabetes at epidemic levels, how do you stay healthy without giving up sweets?  The Sweet Truth can be found in the kitchen of Kelly Keough as she whips up tantalizing confections from recipes using only natural sweeteners.  Recipes for a cornucopia of delicious and healing foods are interwoven with Kelly’s often hilarious and sometimes poignantly inspirational personal story of overcoming poor health and sugar addiction by living a wheat-free, sugar-free life.

The Sweet Truth not only takes you on a fun, lighthearted path to making healthful versions of everybody’s favorite temptations, but also shows you a whole world of sweet-tooth-satisfying whole foods that can heal both mind and body.

After years of battling her weight, sugar addiction and tremendous stress, Kelly Keough had lost more than a third of her hair, causing a living nightmare to become her reality. How was she going to stick to a no-sugar, no-flour way of eating and heal her nervous system, hormonal system, digestive system, metabolism, and never eat sugar or flour again?

The Sweet Truth talks about using sweet fruits and vegetables, and gluten-free whole grains like quinoa and buckwheat, to make cakes, cookies and brownies. Using non-allergenic food to heal the body, along with herbs and supplements, this sugar-free, wheat-free practice saved Kelly’s life and her vanity. But most of all, it put the sweet back into her life.

For thousands of years women from the cradle of civilization have maintained their
beauty and explored their sensuality with the ancient practice of belly dance. This series – designed by Kim Pechet, a belly dance instructor and fitness professional – brings the secrets of this exotic practice to women all over the world. Each episode begins with a relaxing warm-up in calming, lush surroundings that increase flexibility and prepare you for the more vigorous movements to come.

In the teaching section, each episode leads you through four to six belly dance
movements. The repeated motions are designed to tone hips, thighs, glutes, and
abdominals while perfecting the sultry fluidity of belly dance movements.

In the performance section, dancers in stunning costumes and dramatic settings combine the movements just taught into an energetic and stimulating low-impact aerobic choreography designed to burn calories and help you explore your sensual side.

Each episode finishes as the dancers take inspiration from the movements taught throughout the series in a mesmerizing display of freestyle belly dance.

Shimmy is a Canadian production.
