I Love VH1
This past Friday was the kind of day that we lovers of bad television usually only dream about. What made this particular Friday so special was the announcement from VH1 of the pick-up of FOUR (count 'em - FOUR) so-bad-they're-GREAT reality shows!
First up on the renewal parade is the second season of Breaking Bonaduce. If you happened to see the first season of this Danny Bonaduce reality series, then you now know the metaphorical definition of "televised train wreck." In season two, Danny and his wife Gretchen will attempt to outdo season one by trying to pick up the pieces of their lives and their marriage after Danny's much-publicized battle with drugs and alcohol. I know, I know - it sounds dark and depressing. But trust me on this one - it's DANNY BONADUCE, so watch it! Televised train wrecks don't come along every day, you know.
Next up on the VH1 announcement list
is part two of My Fair Brady. The first season of this insipid-yet-fascinating show followed the true-life story of a reality-television model (Adrienne Curry) who finds love with none other than Peter Brady (Christopher Knight) himself. They had first met on VH1's The Surreal Life, and the powers-that-be at VH1 knew they had something in this pairing, so spun-off they were into My Fair Brady. Season two will follow the unlikely couple as they plan their wedding. Should be pretty horrible.
Moving right along on the VH1 press-release bandwagon... it's time for the fourth installment of VH1's Celebrity Fit Club. And if you thought last season's cast of overweight-and-out-of-shape characters was good, then just wait until you meet this
year's cast... which will include washed-up singer and talk-show host Carnie Wilson (hey, wait a minute - didn't she just undergo gastric-bypass surgery? oh well - I guess that didn't work!), The Love Boat's favorite bartender Ted Lange (the answer to the question you're thinking of right now is.. ."yes, he's STILL around"), Baywatch's Erica Eleniak (wow - Erica Eleniak on Fit Club? I guess that time wasn't very good to her), Tina Yothers (from Family Ties - and yes, SHE'S still around, too - although I have no idea as to why), and everyone's favorite Sopranos snitch... Big Pussy himself, Vincent Pastore. Now, if I remember Pastore's physique correctly, then he should have been on the FIRST season of Fit Club!
And now, gentle readers, I've saved the best for last.
VH1 has announced that Flavor of Love 2 will premiere in August. August!! For those of you keeping score, that's only three months away!!! Yeah, boyeeeeeeeeee!
You know, I'm not really sure exactly when Flavor Flav became reality-televison's favorite "so-bad-he's-good" star, but become it he did... and the
rest is reality-television history. Let me take this opportunity to send out a special "thank you" to the winner of the the first season of Flavor of Love, none other than Hoopz. If it weren't for Hoopz being nothing more than a user, then we wouldn't be looking forward to a second season of Flavor of Love. We owe you big time, Hoopz.
God bless you, VH1. What would we do without you?
