When, in the history of entertainment, have you heard of anyone switching on an E! reality show, taking a deep cleansing breath and saying out loud, “Let the healing begin”?

Take your time, we’ll wait.

…Anyway, executive producer Mike Fleiss and Lorenzo Lamas plan to explore the therapeutic powers of  reality television on “The Lamas Life,” which succeeded in what was heretofore thought impossible: Bringing the elder Lamas into the same general space as estranged son A.J., who made recent tabloid headlines with the supposed “revelation” that A.J.’s alleged affair with his father’s fourth ex-wife Shauna Sand caused the end of their marriage.

“There’s only one way to get a family back together,” Fleiss joked to critics on Thursday, “and that’s on television. That’s what the E! channel is all about, really, when you think about it.”

Lorenzo Lamas was joined onstage by his his ex-wife Michelle Smith, son A.J. and daughter Dakota; and his more famous daughter Shayne Lamas, who won the heart of past “Bachelor” Matt Grant. (Ultimately — surprise, surprise — happily ever after was not to be.)

When someone asked Lamas to characterize his relationship with his son, his answer was, “strained,” adding that before E! came calling it had been years since father and son were in the same room. Filming “The Lamas Life” has changed all that.

“The fact of the matter is that I’ve seen more of A.J. in the last two weeks than I have in three years,” Lamas said, adding that he looked at the E! show as an opportunity to grow closer to his kids.

A.J., oddly, agreed. “You know what? Honestly, if it takes a TV show for me and this guy to come back together, then so be it.”

That’s all fine and good, but will Lorenzo use a laser pointer to highlight his children’s flaws when they misbehave? I suppose you’ll have to tune in this October to find out.
