TV SHOW REVIEW Hogan goes home for new reality show “HOGAN KNOWS BEST” ★★★★ out of ☆☆☆☆☆ ByJORDY McKEVER THE GAMECOCK When the name Hulk Hogan comes to mind, almost everyone thinks of the bulked up, extremely balding blonde wrestler who was the most popular wrestling star back in the ‘80s and mid-90s. But VH1 has a plan to show the “softer” side of the Hulkster with its new reality show, “Hogan Knows Best.” This is actually VHl’s second foray into the Hogan world, as the network aired a show last year about Hulks daughter’s first album release. i ne snow is Dascu in uie 20,000-square-foot home the family owns in Clearwater, Fla. Terry (Hulk’s real name) and his wife, Linda, live there with their two children, 17-year-old Brooke and 15-year-old Nick. Most of the show involves Terry and Linda trying to keep their children in order. Brooke is an aspiring singer (some of the show is based around Hogan trying to get her career going), while Nick has dreams of being a racecar driver. “Hogan Knows Best” certainly has its own flavor. Terry is the role model for hands-on parenting. When Brooke wants to go on a date with a friend of Nick’s, Terry’s first reaction is to shoot her wishes down. But he installs a tracking COURTESY OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS system on Brooke’s car (yes, her date wasn’t allowed to drive) that he monitors by computer. He also wants the pair to be back before dark. Brooke ends up coming back well after curfew, but only after some pleading with Terry. Terry’s thoughts on Brooke’s date were not kind, as he vows to make sure they would never go out together again. If the first show is any indication, it’s safe to say Hogan is as tough at home with his family as he was in the ring. But there is a softer side to Hogan, as it’s evident he’s trying to look out for his children. The show is worth giving a try, just to see if Hogan actually knows best, much less anything at all, when it comes to domestic life. Comments on this story?

Carew Rice bought his first pair of scissors for only one quarter and cut his first landscapes scenes from a mix of his imagination and scenes from the novel “Porgy” by Dubose Heyward.
