Of all the Jackasses on Jackass, Bam was the most jackassed of all. he was the one who I dearly wished would get critically injured during one of their AssHatted stunts. Sadly, that never happened and Jackass eventually ceased production, which gave me hope that I has seen the last of Bam’s smirking sneer. Alas, it was not to be, for I saw a promo for **The Bam Margera Show** or something like that. Funny, it looks like the content of this show will be exactly the same sort of crap that was on Jackass, hell even the loathsome Steve-O is along for the ride. Ahh well, just one more reason not to watch MTV anymore. ---

Really? I figured the show would just be 20 minutes of Bam Margera punching his dad, like in Jackass. ---

Will the show be as gay as Jackass? Because Jackass set a pretty high standard for gayness… ---

Jackass was an ofshoot of CKY, and Bam did CKY. So The Bam Margera Show wouldn’t be an offshoot of Jackass; they’re both offshoots of the same thing. ---

Considering how much you seem to hate the show, I’m surprised that you’ve watched it enough to even know who Bam Margera is. ---

Wow. I haven’t heard of it until this thread, and I for one am excited. Of course, a Steve-O show would even rock harder, but I wonder if he ever got out of that scrape in Sweden ( I think it was Sweden, hmmm). ---

Jackass was the highest rated show on MTV for quite some time. You knew they were going to bring it back in one form or another.
