Buy Or Don’t Buy

When it comes to trash/trashy T.V., I am all for it. It could really just be about how to get venereal diseases and I’ll be watching it every Sunday night (I love “Rock Of Love”), but lately, there are some new shows that just seem, dare I say… unwatchable. Dun dun dun. But biggest issue is, no matter what shows are listed below, where is the music? Music TeleVision now means: Spin-offs, dating shows and jackasses.

Let’s go down a list of their latest and upcoming shows, shall we?

Don’t Buys:

• Bromance. One of the Laguna Beach’s spin-off lead us to meet this dude Brody. Brody was a big hit, and probably an asshole. I can’t say for sure because I never watched any of those earlier shows. But now Brody has, from what I can tell, a reality show to find a new best friend (aww). And while flipping channels last night, Brody made his contending mates wear rhinestone pants and sleeve-less shirts to a bar. ‘Nuff said.

• The City. They picked the character that spoke the least but gave the best stink faces (from what I gathered from The Soup with Joel McHale) and gave her a show. Why would someone care about that? Apparently, MTV thinks people will and that means people probably do.

• Daddy’s Girls. It follows the daughters from Run’s House as they take on Run’s business in LA. To me it sounds like My Super Sweet Sixteen only constant, and about everything, not just a party. I imagine hearing “but, daddyyy, it’s too hard.”

• A Double Shot At Love. So first, there was Tila Tequila, the bi-sexual webcam whore who wanted love for 2 seasons, but to no avail. Now, they upped the anti because Tila was tired of being called gross and two hot bi-sexual twins is better than one, right? Wrong. I like dating reality shows (Rock of Love, Real Chance at Love, I Love New York.. I’m sure there are others) but who these people and who cares?

• Real World: Brooklyn. Wait, that’s still on the air? And there’s a transexual on there. Whatever.

Potential Buys:

• The CollegeHumor Show. From what I gather, it’s shorts from CollegeHumor but in a half hour format. It could be annoying or I could continue to not watch MTV and wait for someone to send me to a link of something funny.

• The Girls of Hedsor Halls. Think Charm School but younger chicks and instead of Sharon Osbourne or Mo’nique, you’ve got an old British School headmistress and you’ve got The Girls of Hedsor Halls. You may be asking yourself, will there be enough drama? Well, let’s meet the girls:”The Girls of Hedsor Hall — self-described “nymphomaniac” Brianna, heavy drinker Samantha, bad-tempered Margie, high school-dropout Jenna, gutter-mouthed Lillian, wild child Amanda, party girl Kim, snobby bitch Jen M, foul-mouthed Maddy, booty-baring punkette Hillary, bar brawling Paola, and Jennifer, the self-proclaimed “Blackout Queen of North Carolina” — will have a chance to smooth their rough edges and reform the behavior that’s made them notorious.”

  Perfect! You’ve got sluts and alcoholics!

• Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory. Take pro-skater board, Rob, away from Big (Rob & Big) and let him do anything he wants to do. And wah-laa you have ever 16 year old’s fantasy. I’m sure it will end up to be like Bam Margera’s show from a few years ago, but less asshole-y and more fun and probably with a larger budget.

• How’s Your News! This one is still in the making and I’m skeptical. It’s about disabled people going around the country, talking to celebs and talking to people about things and news. After watching the videos, it’s just so sweet and pure. This could be a Disney show if the reporters were kids. Or it could be a PBS special because it is so sweet. But MTV is doing it. Which means it’s going to be either making fun of the disabled or jumpcut annoyingness. So far, they’ve got some pretty big stars, like Amy Sedaris, Matt Stone and Trey Parker (also How’s Your News exec. producers), some weird dude, and Ben Affleck. I want your thoughts on this.
