CEO Steven Foster donned a wig (and, at one point, a bowling pin costume) as "Aaron" on 'Undercover Boss' (Sun., 9Pm Et on CBS). While in Houston, Foster worked with Jermaine. After the big reveal, the CEO recruited him for a special training team, saying, "Your positivity is unbelievable."
Foster asked that Jermaine use his computer programming skills to integrate two computer systems. Also, Jermaine's ideas for a Lucky Strike T-shirt would be implemented, with a percentage of the sales made into a fund for his blind son.
Foster then broke down. "You get moments like this in life that are turning points -- that's this," he said through tears. Jermaine got emotional, too.

ABC‘s My Generation has a very tough road ahead, and most of its difficulty comes from an overabundance of drama and competition. Up against The Big Bang Theory, Bones, Community, and Vampire Diaries, the target audience is spread awfully thin. More importantly, while the show had me pretty interested for some twenty to thirty minutes, the pilot’s theory of piling on drama as we continue peeling the onion ultimately became too much to handle.
The show takes us through the fake documentary of a select group of people who were originally caught on tape when they were seniors at Greenbelt High School in Austin, TX. The makers of that documentary footage are now catching up with their former subjects, to see what has happened to them over the last decade.
With convenient labels attached to them during their High School years (Jock, Wallflower, Nerd, etc.), we get to see how those stereotypes,...

There's something about the nostalgia of young adulthood in ABC's "My Generation" that makes it endearing, which can make one feel alternately fond of and rather embarrassed for the characters.
The concept is simple, nine graduating Greenbelt High School seniors get filmed for a documentary in 2000, and a decade later, the cameras are back to see what progress they've made, what dreams they've fulfilled, what lessons they've learned. What was once an unknown, exciting and bright future has become the reality that unfolds on TV, and often it's not what was expected or planned.
Nine people around the same age can be difficult to keep track of, which is why it's nice that the show cast people who look fairly different from each other and also give us handy labels such as "nerd" for us to remember them by.
Very quickly, a before and after 2000/2010:

"My Generation" is ABC's new documentary-style scripted drama that shows a group of high school students in the year 2000 and what has happened to them in the ensuing 10 years. Zap2it caught up with star Jaime King at the Ktla Morning Show, where she tells us about the loveless marriage her character is in and the ramifications of that relationship.
"Jackie is one of my favorite characters I've ever played. At 18 years old, she's super-popular, everybody loves her and her big dream is to move to Hollywood and be a famous actress," King explains. "And you cut to 10 years later and you see this very prim, proper, yuppie, up-tight woman in a very uncomfortable marriage ... I get married to a man who really has always been in love with someone else."
Jackie left Hollywood and got married fairly recently from when the show starts, all which is precipitated by something...
