Anyone who gives a fig knows that in the finale of last season's Family Jewels, Gene proposed to loooooongtime girlfriend Shannon Tweed. Aah, the suspense!
Is there any point to getting married after a 28-year relationship, complete with two grown children? Isn't it a bit anticlimactic? Okay, NOW you're official. Now you'll have to, you know, try. Or maybe it's a ploy to generate more interest in Family Jewels. How's that for life imitating art imitating life with a profoundly cynical twist? The video looks like a Mexican soap opera. Did a TV cameraman just happen to stroll by, ready to shoot?

Nonetheless, A&E announced today that the Simmons-Tweed clan will return to the tube on October 4, and viewers will find out Shannon’s answer to Gene’s proposal in a special one-hour season premiere.
