Terrell Owens Gets Reality Show

Football fans may or may not like it, but Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens is going to be the star of his own reality show. The reason I say fans may or may not like it is because many fans don’t like Owen due to his outspokenness and huge ego. It’s not that Owens cannot deliver on the field – he can. Drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in the 1996 NFL draft, he helped the team win 13 games that year. In 2000, he made 20 catches for 283 yards, breaking a 50 year old NFL record. However, … Continue reading →

Reality TV Updates: April 28, 2008

Big week for reality television as American Idol narrows them down, Big Brother finishes up, and a new show start. First up, American Idol whittled the contestants down to five as Irish beauty Carly Smithson was eliminated this week. There had been a bit of controversy over Carly as she had previously had a recording contract but managed to sell less than 500 copies and was dropped.

Tonight, the “World Series of Pop Culture” returns to VH1. In case you haven’t seen it, the “World Series of Pop Culture” is a game show tournament that features – what else? – pop culture questions. Teams compete against each other for the final prize – $250,000! The show is made up of rounds. Each team must send one player and he or she must attempt to answer all the questions in that round. What type of categories do they have? Stuff that I consider fun like “Family TV,” “1980s Teen Comedy Films,” “Tom Cruise Movies,” “1990s Lyrics,” “Fictional Locales,” … Continue reading →

VH1 Adds More Celebreality Shows

Posted on by

I have always loved VH1 for bringing us such sinfully entertaining reality shows as “Flavor of Love” and “The Surreal Life.” Well, if you loved those, get prepared for two more: “Scott Baio is 45…and Single” and “Rock of Love.” You probably remember Scott Baio as cute little Chachi Arcola, Fonz’s cousin on “Happy Days.” Scott played Chachi on the long running show from 1977 until 1984. If you are too young to remember that, then you probably have fond memories of Scott in the leading role of “Charles in Charge.” He acted in that sitcom from 1984 until 1990. … Continue reading →
