A&E picks up Bob Saget reality show

A&E has ordered seven episodes of a reality travel series with Bob Saget.

Bob Saget's Strange Days features the comic actor immersing himself in American subcultures and visiting out-of-the-way corners of the country, says The Hollywood Reporter. Forthcoming episodes find Saget riding a Harley with a biker gang, joining a survivalist cult prepping for the end of the world, and rushing at a fraternity.

"Bob Saget has been a part of the television landscape for years, but now we'll be seeing him in a completely different light as he travels the country to explore ways of living that most of us know nothing about," said Robert Sharenow, senior VP of reality at A&E.

He added: "The show will reveal hidden corners of the real America and the real Bob Saget, who is even funnier and more relatable when just being himself than any other role he's ever played."

The programme is due to hit the air in 2010.
