The Mole is back tonight at 10PM on ABC! Yes, it's a reality show, but it's not your typical trashy reality fare. The original Mole was once hailed by Mensa as TV's smartest reality show, and I'm inclined to agree. I'd liken it to Professor Layton (in fact, some challenges actually did involved brain teasers), but really, it's so much more than that. There were often mazes, scavenger hunts, puzzles, and other smart challenges that made the show so fun to watch.

If anything, watch The Mole for its brilliant music. The original Mole had a fully orchestrated soundtrack composed and conducted by David Michael Frank. The OST for the first season is available on iTunes, and it's full of tense, suspenseful spy music. Apparently the relaunch will have brand new music, though David Michael Frank will be composing again and he promised it would be similar in style to the original.

This is a great show.
It's much better than Amazing Race or Survivor, IMHO.

I remember watching Celebrity Mole Hawaii and it was really fun watching these stars all trying to get through challenges.

It was pretty interesting trying to figure the mysteries there too.
