Reality show producer Ashton Kutcher has something up his sleeve yet again!  The 30-year-old actor recently came up with Opportunity Knocks, a reality series which challenges family members on how well they know each other.  The series was picked up by ABC and will be airing on Tuesdays at 8pm.

In preparation for the show, Kutcher tried the same principle on his wife and stepchildren.  In fact, he recently told OK! Magazine at the TCA Conference, "I got into the process of how well do you know your family.  If somebody came and asked me what kind of perfume my wife wears every single day, could I tell you that answer?  I could tell you."

Kutcher says that the beginnings of the show Opportunity Knocks laid in his goofy tricks while he was at home.  He said, "I started playing with that idea with my family and with my girls, with birthdays and anniversaries and this thing and that thing."

In fact, it was just an innocent family bonding moment that led him to conceive the idea.  "We would play for two bucks at the dinner table with the girls and Demi and we all had a blast with it."

However when it comes to playing the game himself, there are some things Kutcher may not be able to remember, such as dates.  He admitted to ET Online, "There are some things I know, but I am not very good with dates.  It takes me 20 minutes to remember my anniversary.  If I got the right questions, I would do well."

Nonetheless, Kutcher thinks that women have a better chance at winning the game.  In fact, he says that his wife was really good at the game and that led him to think that women generally give more effort in remembering the little things.

"She'd be genius," Kutcher said.  "I think my wife would dominate this show."

Don’t forget to catch Opportunity Knocks this fall on ABC.
