I happened to see it on the menu last night.

8PM Mondays Victoria Beckham: Coming to America

Brought to you by the same people who brought you American Idol

If anyone can do it, it's David Beckham. Not because he's the greatest player our country has ever had (Pele wasn't bad), but because he's the biggest soccer celebrity our country has ever encountered. Actually, make that celebrity couple. Tonight, NBC will air Victoria Beckham: Coming to America (8pm ET/PT), a behind-the-scenes look at Posh Spice's move from England to Los Angeles. She'll go house-shopping, hang out with friends, and give interested Americans a sense of who exactly these Beckhams are. Despite their name recognition, the essence of the Beckhams is still a mystery to most of us here. After watching some of the leaked segments from tonight's special, I think viewers are going to be delighted by what Victoria Beckham brings to the table. She has more personality than a thousand Paris Hiltons.

The NBC special, which is said to only feature a brief cameo from David Beckham, is all part of a calculated plan by Simon Fuller. It's the invert of how Beckham originally became famous. Initially, in England, soccer was used to sell David Beckham to the masses. Now, in America, the Beckhams are being used to, ultimately, sell soccer to the masses.

Beckham wants be a soccer ambassador (he has said as much) and so his move to Los Angeles, where another Fuller import, Simon Cowell, has done quite well, is an obvious choice. If all the hoopla surrounding the Beckham's arrival in Los Angeles - Posh's NBC special, David on the cover of Sports Illustrated, the omnipresent Nike commercial currently airing, and countless other news pieces - gets more people to watch Saturday's match between the Galaxy and Chelsea, than Fuller and the Beckhams have done exactly what they set out to do: take that first step on their way to conquering soccer in America.

Feel free to be skeptical of such an ambitious desire, but I'm not going to underestimate the guy who created American Idol or the world's biggest sports star, let alone a combination of the two.

1. Watched It

I watched it and it was not that good. I have the totally opposite opinion of the show than the person writing this piece had. I think for people who are not turned on by vapid, self-centered, foolish rich people the show was a turn-off. I watched the show and I was actually shocked. I thought Victoria Beckham would be stuck-up, but I did not realize that she would be as stuck up as she was in the show. She came across to me as completely self-centered and extremely possessive of her husband. It seemed like she became at least a little upset when her personal assistant asked if she (the personal assistant) would be doing any work for her husband (David Beckham). In addition, I may be wrong, but I do not think she brings any more personality than Paris Hilton. They are very similar, but maybe Mrs. Beckham is more mature, that is it. Finally, I was completely shocked at how foolish the other rich women Mrs. Beckham went to visit were. I really think my mouth dropped when one of the women actually said she had heard that Mr. Beckham had been given a contract of $50 billion to play for the galaxy. No, I did not misspell million the woman actually said billion.

3. One Time Show

I think the show was a one time special. I was under the impression that there would only be one show detailing how she and her husband came to America.
