There are still SOME inspiring shows on television, and CBS’ Same Name<\/em> is one of them.<\/p>\n

The premise of the show is that celebrities like Mike Tyson, David Hasselhoff<\/strong> and Kathy Griffin<\/strong> change places with “unfamous” people who happen to share the same name.<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=x98BPo-rOq4<\/a>\n

It’s a little awkward to watch Tyson interact with two kids in the Midwest, but give Iron Mike credit, he HAS become a good father after a disappointing end to his boxing career.<\/p>\n

His mom and wife appear to be very nice people as they graciously host his Same Name<\/em> namesake.<\/p>\n

Speaking of gracious, New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush<\/strong> is just that on another epsiode in donating football equipment to a struggling high school football program.<\/p>\n

The “other” Reggie Bush’s wife is as beautiful and genuine a person as one would ever hope to meet, even asking the football star to be her sons’ mentors.<\/p>\n

The boys were moved by the back’s gestures, even telling him they “love” him at the end of the program.<\/p>\n

Nice moment.<\/p>\n

Good show.<\/p>\n
