There's a scene near the beginning of the first episode of "Tamar & Vince" (10 tonight, moving to 9 pm Sept. 27, WE tv) that gave me a sense of hope.

It's when the couple hosts a dinner that includes celebrity friends like Duane and Tisha Campbell-Martin and Mary J. Blige and her husband Kendu Issacs. Vince and Tamar talk about the beginnings of their relationship and then Vince asks for advice on making their relationship last. (Mary J. gets to preaching!)

Thank goodness because the rest of the episode is spent in the usual manner: Tamar signifying and talking about herself in the third person, Vince not paying her much attention, walking away exasperated, and them bickering. While the rest of the show makes you think, why are these two together? that early scene reminds you that theirs is a young marriage, just 3 years old. Maybe they can figure it out.

It makes sense that perfectly pleasant "Mary Mary" (10 tonight, We TV) would end up on the same channel as "The Braxtons Family Values" reality show.

After all, they are both about the lives of African-American sisters in entertainment, or as the "Mary Mary" tagline reads: fame, family and chaos.

But the sisters, Erica and Tina Campbell, in "Mary Mary" are not like the Braxtons. Oh sure, at the core, the Braxtons love each other. But man, it's hard to see underneath that thick layer of yelling, eye-rolling, dot.com'ing drama.

The Voice (10pm, NBC) - The conclusion of the battle rounds.

That Toni Braxton is starring in a reality show isn't that shocking. After all, lately her life seems a bit like a soap opera.

The Grammy-winning singer has been bankrupt twice, had heart problems (health issues sparked the last bankruptcy, she's said), discovered her son has autism, and split from her husband after a much-talked about award show kiss (Although the two weren't related).

But "Braxton Family Values" (We TV, 9 tonight), as the title suggests, doesn't just feature Toni. She's got four sisters (and a divorced mom), and they've got plenty of fodder for TV too. After watching the premiere episode I'd say among the things the Braxton family values are yelling and crying.
