Babies are so adorable

Hollywood Junket is a good source for on-set reports about upcoming game shows. The stories do tend toward gushiness, as when the site cooed over Take It All. Despite the rave review, the show died a quick death on NBC.

But at least the site is good for details about a show's gameplay. So their story about ABC's upcoming Bet On Your Baby is worth a look. The format is really, really simple: one parent bets on how well the kid will do in a game with the other parent.

Hollywood Junket says host Melissa Peterman is good with kids, which should help. They report the show is very family-friendly, which seems obvious. They assure us that the show will "entertain many people," which will be decided by the Nielsen Company. And they say the prize money goes toward college scholarships for the children, which nobody can complain about.

The show will air on Saturday night, so ratings expectations shouldn't be too tough. ABC has ordered eight episodes.
