'Extreme Couponing' spin-off to air next week

Love it or hate it, the controversial TV show "Extreme Couponing" has spawned a spin-off series scheduled to debut next week.

 "Extreme Couponing All-Stars" will air at 10 p.m. Dec. 27 on the TLC network. It will be the first show in a seven-part series.

If it's anything like the original show, "All-Stars" is likely to feature over-the-top coupon shoppers loading multiple grocery carts to over-flowing, then paying pennies on the dollar after redeeming hundreds coupons.

According to Entertainment Weekly's Inside TV blog:

HBO offers painful, powerful doc about wrong-way driver

I was glad to see HBO's summer documentary series get love in the Entertainment Weekly's must list, if only because it confirmed what I already knew: this year's non-fiction slate from the cable network has been fantastic.

That fact hasn't gotten enough attention, and this week's offering just makes the case stronger. "There's Something Wrong with Aunt Diane" (HBO, 9 tonight) is powerful, sad and illuminating.

The doc follows the case of the wrong way driver on New York's Taconic State Parkway in 2009. Diane Schuler was found to have marijuana and alcohol in her system as she drove her three nieces and her own two children. In the end, she killed herself, four of the children and three people in another car. Her young son survived.
