This used a similar hidden camera format to Shalom In the Home. However, I did have trouble buying that things routinely worked like that in the home. Most guys would have packed their sh*t and been gone - the wife kept calling her H a "loser" and things like this. Yuck! I've only seen one Shalom in the Home and I did think it was good. I thought the Schnarch thing on Dateline was good. If Schnarch had a show I would watch it every week!
