NEW YORK, November 14: TV
Land's prime-time programming block, TV
Land PRIME, will feature three new original series in its 2009 lineup: How'd You Get So Rich?, First Love, Second Chance and Make
My Day.

Joan Rivers goes in search
of how the wealthy made their riches in How'd You Get So Rich?
Executive produced by Mark Burnett and Zoo Productions, the series will spotlight wealthy people from
across the U.S. and how they spend their money.

First Love, Second Chance gives long-lost sweethearts an opportunity to
reconnect. The series is produced for TV Land by Granada America. Paul
Buccieri, Drew Hoegl and Andrew Singer serve as executive producers.

Based on a British format,
Make My Day uses hidden cameras to
provide a window into one day in the life of an unsuspecting participant. The series is produced for TV Land by Embassy Row, Monkey Kingdom
and Sony Pictures Television. Michael Davies serves as the executive
producer.

These new series join the
second seasons of High School Reunion and
She's Got the Look as well as the
upcoming series The Cougar in TV Land PRIME's lineup.

"We are thrilled to
work with some of the most influential television producers in the business to
bring these new dynamic original series to TV
Land PRIME," said Larry W. Jones, the president of TV Land. "From
romance reignited and carefully planned coincidences to riches revealed, we are
sure that these shows will resonate with our audience."

"I am very excited to
be in business with TV Land as they expand their original programming
repertoire with How'd You Get So Rich?"
commented Burnett. "The notoriously uncensored Joan Rivers is the perfect
person to take TV Land's viewers on a tour of the most outrageous and
extravagant lifestyles across the country."
