MUMBAI: Unable to keep ABC?s show ?Glass House? off the air, CBS has issued a fake press release. The release informs that a new show, ?Dancing On The Stars?, will start and the name is a take on ABC?s show, ?Dancing With The Stars?.

CBS had earlier argued in court that ?Glass House? is a copy of its show ?Big Brother?.

CBS in the fake release said that subsequent to recent developments in the creative and legal community, it felt it was appropriate to reveal the upcoming launch of an exciting, ground-breaking and completely original new reality program for the CBS Television Network.

The dazzling new show, Dancing On The Stars, will be broadcast live from the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, and will feature moderately famous and sort of well-known people you almost recognize competing for big prizes by dancing on the graves of some of Hollywood?s most iconic and well-beloved stars of stage and screen.

The broadcaster also said that it has been working with a secret team for several months on the creation of the series, which was completely developed by the people at CBS independent of any other programming on the air.

?Given the current creative and legal environment in the reality programming business, we?re sure nobody will have any problem with this title or our upcoming half-hour comedy for primetime, ?Postmodern Family?. After all, people who live in glass houses shouldn?t throw stones,? CBS said.

MUMBAI: US infotainment and lifestyle media company Discovery has announced that TLC and Own: Oprah Winfrey Network have acquired the rights to ?Undercover Boss UK? and ?Undercover Boss Australia?, airing on the networks as Undercover Boss: Abroad.

The show kicks off on TLC in the US on 13 February. Own will add the series to its schedule beginning 13 March.

?Undercover Boss: Abroad?, distributed in the US by CBS Television Distribution, has the same format as the American version, following high-level corporate executives as they slip anonymously into the rank and file of their own companies.

Each week, a different executive will leave the comfort of their corner office for an undercover mission to examine the inner workings of their corporation. While working alongside their employees, they will learn about themselves, the effects their decisions have on others, where the problems lie within their organisation, the perception of their company, and discover the unsung heroes of their work force.

Many of the companies featured in Undercover Boss: Abroad are worldwide brands, including YMCA, Domino?s Pizza, Sodexo, Best Western Hotels and Isuzu Trucks. The series will also explore brands and businesses unique to their own countries.

CBS senior VP of corporate licensing and distribution Scott Koondel said, "The original American version of UNDERCOVER BOSS was an instant hit on CBS and has turned into a powerful franchise for the off-network marketplace with numerous international editions to extend the brand".

Additionally, ?Undercover Boss Canada? joins the networks? schedules later in the year.
