Your weekly dose of laughter and cheer is almost here! ABC's 'Don't' sees families participating in absurd challenges to win cash prizes, which can go up to $1,00,000. There's just one simple rule: Don't. Four-member teams will take on crazy tasks like “Don’t Blink,” “Don’t Look Back” and “Don’t Play Ball in the House.” The successful missions will earn them money into the team bank accounts, while failed challenges will force players to undergo some hilarious punishments. Contestants can also test their fearlessness by selecting risky options like the “Don’t Push” button or a “Don’t You Dare, You” challenge. In the end, teams will keep whatever money they earn. In the previous episode, a Brooklyn family took challenges like "Don't Drink Water", where one of them stood on a treadmill while host Adam Scott handed him spicy jalapenos and wasabi, and "Don't Blink", which they all failed miserably.

In the next episode, Daniel and Nicole Kaufman from Los Angeles, California with their kids will participate in some highly unusual tasks. The official synopsis reads, "This week, Daniel and Nicole Kaufman from Los Angeles, California, and their two adult children/roommates, Tucker and Cody, show off their upside-down-baseball-catching, tug-of-war-rope-pulling, slingshot-fire-extinguishing skills in challenges 'Don’t Play Ball in the House,' 'Don’t Play with Matches,' 'Don’t Budge,' 'Don’t Lose Your Grip' and 'Don’t Stop'."

The show is hosted by Adam Scott of 'Parks and Recreation' and 'Big Little Lies' fame, while Ryan Reynolds provides snarky voiceovers. Reynolds has proved his versatility and acted in different genres, including action movies like '6 Underground', romantic dramas like 'The Proposal' and the superhero flicks like 'Deadpool'. 'Deadpool' and its sequel catapulted Reynolds to astronomical heights of fame. Since then, many producers  have banked on his comedic talent and timing. Fans seemed to have enjoyed the show, especially Reynolds's running commentary. "#DontOnABC this is the best game show ever..can’t wait for next week! @VancityReynolds is one of the best unseen powers in a game show. Adam Scott is pretty funny too!" a fan had written. 
  
Alongside Reynolds, additional executive producers include David Goldberg, Caroline Baumgard, David Hurwitz, Conrad Green, and George Dewey.
