Serena Williams orders her dog into a duffel bag for punishment. Her sister Venus thought showers weren't invented until the 1990s, because that's the first time -- after a dirt-poor childhood -- she ever took them. Oh, and she hates yoga and is relatively certain that whatever's being chanted in the process is at odds with her Christian upbringing.
These are the revelations, so to speak, in the first few episodes of "Venus & Serena: For Real," a reality show that chronicles the on- and off-court lives of the talented tennis-playing Williams sisters. It debuts tonight as a six-episode, mid-summer series scheduled for 10 p.m. on ABC Family. And, given its network home, that translates -- in the first two episodes, at least -- to no boyfriends, no dates, not even any talk about men, juicy or otherwise.
This is a wholesome show, about two adoring sisters, their extended family and how they juggle their lives with what it takes to be top-flight athletes. In other words, it's a long way from Britney & Kevin -- aka, pregnant ex-pop tart Spears and her creepy husband, Kevin Federline -- a duo who already set the standard in this slow summer television season for all-time awful.
