Jackson, Rosario Dawson, and the E*TRADE babies will show up in prime time TV to fill us in about saving money, the stock market, credit cards, and 401(k) retirement plans.

Here’s a bit of Seth Green’s ’skit’ in the show, where he discusses the fundamentals of a smart mortgage from his MTV-style “crib.” If the rest of the show is anything like this, I’m sure it will be great.

 

UPDATE: Michael over at Money Musings has a pretty funny rant titled “Un-Broke? How about Un-Watchable?” regarding the show. A quote:

And the Jonas Brothers tutoring us on stock-market indexes?

THE JONAS BROTHERS?

Are you freakin’ kidding me?

Not going to lie, I didn’t tune in myself. And while I can agree that most television is designed for entertainment rather than education, I gotta say the above Seth Green vid still makes me happy.
