Breakthrough With Tony Robbins -- TV Review
By Barry Garron, July 26, 2010 04:40 ET

Bottom Line: Heart-tugging? Definitely. A breakthrough? That remains to be seen.
It would be a lot easier to know what to make of NBC's "Breakthrough With Tony Robbins" if it were possible to separate the actual breakthrough from Robbins' upbeat motivational patter. In the show, the two are intertwined, and viewers only can hope that the permanent breakthrough Robbins promises throughout the show actually will occur.

Robbins, among the best known of motivational speakers, has filled arenas and made a fortune parceling out such platitudes as "Confront your real issues" and "Exceed your expectations." In this six-episode series, he tries to apply this advice to people facing big obstacles.

In the premiere, Robbins takes on the desperate case of Frank and Kristen Alioto. Their dream of a destination wedding in December 2008 in lovely Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, turned into a nightmare that same evening. Just hours after the ceremony, Frank jumped into the pool, broke his neck and became a quadriplegic.

In moments, Kristen's role changed from wife to caretaker, her duties performed between bouts of crying. For Frank, life became a series of pills taken with meals.

Can Robbins turn things around for this unlucky but loving couple? He promises them "greater joy and freedom than you ever knew before." In return, Frank provides a commercial/testimonial for Robbins, one of the show's executive producers. "I know Tony's met with world leaders, and I know he's met with important people, but now he's taking time to talk with me." Magnanimous as that might seem, it is the raison d'etre for the show.

One of my favorite motivational speakers and authors will be joining the prime time series circuit on NBC.

I found this article in the Hollywood Reporter with some more details.

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) -

For three decades, personal-development coach Anthony Robbins has had a presence on TV via his late-night infomercials.

On July 27, he'll launch his first primetime series, "Breakthrough with Tony Robbins," on NBC, where the multi-millionaire author and speaker will use his techniques on people seeking to improve their lives.

A reality tv show on a major network is a long-odds business, and when things don't work out it's very public. If this show doesn't work, is that going to bother you?

Robbins: It already has worked out because my outcomes for the show are simple. I knew it was a huge risk, but it was worth it because I wanted to do something that was different and unique and would inspire people. NBC sees it as a series, I see as six specials -- that's all I agreed to do. So I'm not committing to do this going forward, I'm committed to take on these six families' lives and transform them.
