"The Surreal Life" *SEASON PREMIERE*

The Surreal Lifers learn that they are assisting Steve Harwell and his band Smash Mouth in the making of the video for their new single, Story Of My Life. The cast begins to worry before the cameras even roll when Producer Tawny nixes all ideas and refuses to spend money for props and costumes as she feels it's the producer's job to bring the production in under budget. As the director, Steve tries to keep the peace and control of the video. Meanwhile everyone is appalled as Tawny places herself in every shot and manages to offend Florence by "denigrating nuns" in a racy vignette. Will they finish the video before the crew's wrap time or will they be left standing on a dark set with only half the video in the can?

(Premieres at 9:00 p.m.)

"Hogan Knows Best" *SEASON PREMIERE*

Hulk and Linda are tired of Brooke and Nick's carefree spending and their lack of help around the house. In an effort to teach the kids a sense of responsibility and show them the value of a dollar, Hulk lands them jobs at the local diner. Can a few days of waiting tables, washing dishes and serving needy customers enlighten the kids about what it takes for the Average Joe to get by?

On Monday, March 27
"VH1 News Presents: Celebrity Pre-Nups "

Nothing says "I love you" like a prenup. For Hollywood actors and pop stars, pre-nuptial agreements are as important a part of getting married as the icing on the wedding cake. Hollywood marriages are known for being short-lived, which is why an increasing number of celebrities have turned to prenuptial agreements for protection. After big names like Harrison Ford and Steven Spielberg ended up paying out big bucks to their ex-wives, attorneys all over Hollywood made sure their clients spelled out exactly what they wanted before saying I do. It's not just all money; Pre-nups can dictate everything from how much football some one can watch, control drinking habits and nights out, and even how much weight a wife can gain while pregnant. "VH1 News: Celebrity Pre-Nups" looks at the world of high profile prenuptial agreements and post-nuptial disagreements.

ON VH1 Classic

VH1 Classic presents "Hangin' With Darryl "DMC" McDaniels" of the hip hop group Run DMC on Sunday, March 26 at 9:00 AM and 9:00 PM. McDaniels stopped by the VH1 Classic studio to promote his new solo album, "Checks Thugs And Rock N' Roll" and his recent music video with Sarah McLachlan, "Just Like Me," which uses Harry Chapin's "Cats In The Cradle."

"Glenn Tilbrook: One For The Road" premiering on VH1 Classic on Sunday, March 26 at 3:00 PM is the perfect film for dreamers, music fans... and open road enthusiasts everywhere. Ever wondered what it would be like to go on a cross-country tour with a rock star? Filmmaker Amy Pickard did and made a movie about it. Expecting luxury tour buses and five star hotels, she found Glenn Tilbrook, the former lead singer of Squeeze, touring in a mobile home and bedding down in roadside campgrounds. This intimate documentary follows Tilbrook on every step of his first solo tour of America in his beloved -- but not so reliable -- home on wheels. From the search for his missing RV; adventures with engine repair and exploding generators, to a musical house call that one fan will never forget: All access, all of the time. It's the story of how an established artist adjusts to his independent surroundings. It's a commentary on the current state of the music industry. But, most importantly, it's a human-interest story that transcends its musical base. Includes exclusive live acoustic performances of Squeeze hits "Tempted", "Black Coffee In Bed", "Take Me I'm Yours", "Up The Junction", "Hourglass" and more.
