Complex” as the youth-skewing network continues to bulk up on original summer programming.

The CW continues to bulk up its summer offerings, adding competition series Oh Sit!

Dubbed “musical chairs for adults,” the 10-episode series will debut later this season and feature 20 contestants as they race through an obstacle course designed for adults.

Created and executive produced by Phil Gurin (The Singing Bee), Richard Joel and Deena Dill, contestants will race through five obstacle course-style eliminations as they compete to claim a chair, all set to music.

At the end of each hourlong episode, the remaining contestant will win a cash prize.

The Gurin Co. and 405 Productions will produce.

The youth-skewing network picked up a Melrose Place-like teen soap L.A. Complex earlier this week.

The series, which has run for two seasons on Ireland’s RTÉ, features kids who nominate friends and relatives to sing, dance and act on their behalf.

“Who Are You Kidding? is about music, dance and comedy,” said VIP CEO Philip Kampff, “and to have an entertainment producer like Phil Gurin getting behind the show means it can only get bigger.”
