Clint Eastwood's family is coming to TV in a new reality show.

The E! network said Tuesday that "Mrs. Eastwood & Company" will premiere May 20 as a 10-episode series. Clint Eastwood is expected to make guest appearances.

The show spotlights Dina Eastwood, who has been married to the Oscar-winning actor-director since 1996. Also on hand are the Eastwoods' 15-year-old daughter, Morgan, as well as 18-year-old Francesca, Clint Eastwood's daughter with actress Frances Fisher.

Rounding out the cast is the all-male, six-member vocal group Overtone, managed by Dina Eastwood.

"I found them when Clint was filming Invictus," Dina explained to E!. "I flipped out for them. I said, 'I'm moving them over here.' From the day they got off the plane, everyone said, 'This has to be a show.' "

Overtone's website says the a cappella group was brought to the US to record the soundtrack to Invictus, a 2009 movie about Nelson Mandela and the South Africa's rugby team, starring Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon.  The group says they have appeared on The Ellen Show, in US Weekly, opened for OneRepublic, and toured with Corrine Bailey Rae. Overtone has entertained at fundraisers for the non-profits of Tony Bennett, Charlize Theron,  and Anthony Shriver. The group performs live at  Kuumbwa Jazz Center, Santa Cruz, CA Friday March 23, 2012 .
 

"Mrs. Eastwood & Company" is being filmed in the family's hometown of Carmel, California, as well as in Los Angeles.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
