The Surreal Life

We may have a new winner in the over-the-top “reality” show genre. The Surreal Life ( I think the WB is responsible for this latest abomination) involves a bunch of washed up has been celebrities trying to revive their careers (the only ones I remember are Corey Feldman, Gary Coleman, and Gabrielle Carteris) living in a mansion somewhere a la The Real World . One preview shows them sitting around a big campfire with Corey pontificating on something while Gary Coleman watches him with a confused look on his face.

This could be more horrific than Anna Nicole and I can’t wait. Now if only Fox would tape Temptation Island III . . .

Add Vince Neil to that list of has-beens.

I’m proud to be an American.

Corey. Story. Allegory. I hope we can get married someday.

This show was inspired by commericals for Lipton Sizzle 'n Stir™ featuring unlikely families, such as Mr. T, Loni Anderson, and Little Richard, IIRC.

Aww, come on, this the first half-way interesting idea for a reality show that they’re ever come up with! I love those Lipton commericals, though, so my tastes are obviously flawed. I probably won’t end up watching this show (I’ve only watched a grand total of 1.5 episodes of any reality show) but I might try an episode.
