The fan favorite TV shows will premiere back-to-back, commercial-free and
in HD on Tuesday, October 21, at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
The fun-filled Rock & Rule Tuesdays will kick off with Rock & A Hard Place, a hilarious take on TV game shows that pits rock legends from past and present against each other in a game of wits, wisdom and kazoos--all in the name of charity. Meat Loaf will once again host the 12-episode series which will feature match-ups like A Flock of Seagulls versus Toto, Bananarama facing off against their British counterparts Right Said Fred, and Quiet Riot attempting to outsmart ballad-masters Air Supply. Each episode of the exclusive 101 Network series will put the teams of rock royalty to the test in three head-to-head competitions including "Rock or Crock," "Scene Not Heard," and the highly popular kazoo game "Child's Play." Each correct answer earns a team money which they donate to charity at the end of the game.
Following "Rock," at 10 p.m. ET/PT is the "Rule" of the night with Supreme Court of Comedy. It's The People's Court with a twist as real people with real small claims cases decide to forego the traditional legal system in lieu of having their cases tried by some of America's truest judges of character, comedians. Dom Irrera once again presides as "Chief Justice" while Jamie Kennedy, Paul Mooney, Tom Arnold, Jon Lovitz, Paula Poundstone, George Wallace, Aries Spears and a host of other comedians try their hand as the court's "counselors" inside the World Famous Laugh Factory. With cases such as "Wedding Cake Whammy," "Room And Hoard," and "Model Mayhem"--this 11-episode unscripted series proves to be the most hilarious and unpredictable courtroom in America.
