Jerry Springer will soon be making a return to TV to host a dating game show called Baggage. According to various sources, it doesn’t seem like naked people or catfights will be involved. I know, I’m kind of upset too.

The show will debut next month on the Game Show Network. It will give three contestants the chance to win the eye of a prospective date. Sounds like standard dating game stuff, right? Wrong: Contestants have to reveal their faults and foibles.

Players will carry suitcases onstage to represent the baggage they’ll confess to and defend, GSN said Tuesday. Among the planned suitors: a shoplifter, a woman who gets advice from psychics and a control freak. Sounds like one great bunch of daters, if you ask me.

Springer called “Baggage” a family friendly show that’s “just fun and lighthearted. There’s no life-changing issues.”

Lighthearted? I kind of beg to differ — shoplifting, psychic-obsessed and control freak sound like heavy personalities.

The half-hour series debuts April 19. It will air at 6:30 p.m. EDT Monday through Friday.
