"And I'm Dr. Huxtable," said the Twisted Sister frontman who has gone on to become a radio talk show host and filmmaker as well. "I'm the normal one."
Well, the world will soon find out as the Sniders —
Dee, wife Suzette, and their four kids, Jesse, Shane, Cody and Cheyenne
— have signed on to do their own reality show, "Growing Up Twisted,"
for A&E, set to air later this year. The show is in production on

Those opportunities are why the Sniders got involved with the show, which they see as a way to jump start the careers of rocker Jesse, comic Shane and filmmaker Cody.
"I wanted to be the producer for my kids' careers — not in a stage parent way, since my sons are all in their 20s — so that they can have a better life and an easier time than I had," he said. "That means there's a lot more reality in our show."

I can't believe they are actually making a show about this family. I have nothing personal against them, I liked Twisted Sister in the 80's, but this show is boring. In comparison, Gene Simmon's show is funny, because they are an intelligent and funny family. Dee Schneider is reasonably smart, but the rest of the family is a little below average, in terms of intelligence. Jesse is such a drama queen, and takes himself way too seriously. He's a cute guy, but he is akin to a dumb blonde chick, yet he thinks he is so deep. We had to change the channel, too boring. Dump this show, and do us all a favor.
