ABC Sees Success in the 'Super Obese'

Just hours after Fox released its summer 2011 schedule, ABC announced a weighty summer programming move of its own.

The Disney-owned network will premiere Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition on Monday, May 30. The series follows eight “super obese” participants, each of whom will attempt to transform his or her life by losing weight. The participants will be featured in eight stand-alone episodes of the series, which will be presented more like a docu-soap, rather than a competition.
