Is Sylvester Stallone the biggest movie star to ever submit himself and his family to a follow-around reality show? If not, can you think of who was bigger? Schwarzenegger and The Rock have hosted unscripted shows. Clint Eastwood appeared in the 2012 E! effort Mrs. Eastwood and Company, but just barely in a couple episodes. Will Smith’s appearances on Red Table Talk might technically count as train-wreck reality TV, but it’s not a docuseries. And Britney Spears was pretty big when she and Kevin Federline did Chaotic on UPN in 2005. But not Stallone big. This guy was one of the top 3 stars in the world for a good chunk of the 80s and 90s. And at 76, he’s still huge globally, and working constantly. He may have passed on Creed III, as I’ve written, but he’s got the big Taylor Sheridan show Tulsa King coming in November, and his latest movie, Samaritan, was No. 1 on Amazon Prime Video last week.  

So it’s surprising that the Stallone family reality show has received next to zero media coverage. Paramount+, the distributor (also home to Tulsa King), never announced the show (Paramount’s Chris McCarthy is likely waiting for the scripted series to help launch it), and its existence was revealed only by Stallone’s publicist in a weird statement responding to a divorce filing last month by his wife of 25 years, Jennifer Flavin, which apparently prompted Sly to cover a tattoo devoted to her.
