The daytime television program called Starting Over has been on the air for about three years now. Starting Over is a scripted, Hollywood, dramatized entertainment TV show. It features women with many different life problems, who have been sequestered in a house under controlled conditions. The show produces good theater and entertaining drama as these women are followed around 24/7 with cameras recording their struggles to overcome their problems. The show provides at least two people they call “Life Coaches” and at least one consulting psychologist to help these women overcome their problems.
