I was able to review an upcoming episode of the Briefcase on CBS. It’s going to be an amazing show that you’re not gonna want to miss. The premise is that two very deserving families are given $100,000 a piece. They can keep it all to themselves or keep some of it or give it all to the other family. These families are in need of a helping hand. These families struggle with being out of work, broken down vehicles, medical bills, Iraqi war veterans with missing limbs and not able to work are just a few examples of the needs they have. They’re some very deserving families. But they have to make a choice whether to keep the money or give it to the other family. Can you imagine what $100,000 would do to help a family out? What would you do? It’s heartwarming story about the American spirit. It’s a must see for this summer’s shows. I will be tuning in week after week to see what happens with the next two families. This show premieres tomorrown night 5/27 from 7-8 PM CST. Check out the trailer below.

“THE BRIEFCASE is an eye-opening look into what matters most in people’s lives, taking the audience on an emotional roller coaster ride with a shocking ending each week,” said THE BRIEFCASE Creator and Executive Producer Dave Broome. “I’ve been incredibly impressed by just how generous Americans are, even with shrinking paychecks and rising debt, when there’s little left to give.”

Each week, two families have 72 hours to learn details about each other’s challenging circumstances and make the weighty decision of what to do with $101,000. However, what they don’t know is that the family with whom they are considering sharing this financial windfall received an identical briefcase with the same instructions. Throughout their journeys, relationships within both families will be tested and beliefs questioned as they find out what really matters most in their lives, and how much importance they place on values such as love, generosity, compassion and faith.

THE BRIEFCASE is produced by 25/7 Productions and distributed by Sony Pictures Television. Dave Broome (Creator and Executive Producer, THE BIGGEST LOSER) and Faye Stapleton are executive producers. And a little about Dave Broome.
