Michael Apted's new series, Married in America, hit A&E's schedule this week with the kind of fanfare usually reserved for Hollywood blockbusters.
But while the parallels between the initial ambitions and parameters of Married in America and Apted's earlier British series are promising, the unfolding two-hour film is less appealing.
In America, he's working for A&E, more renowned for costumed co-productions and documentary series hosted by network retreads than for innovative programming.

Given all that, English director Michael Apted's new series, "Married in America," which premieres on A&E on Monday, June 17, might at first mention seem not so fresh.
In fact, however, the series might serve as a useful reminder that a wedding is not a game-show prize.
