"TRL" is going through some much needed puberty. I literally record it just to fastforward through the 20-sec videos and watch the interviews and premieres. If the show were just that, I'd watch it. Not only is it getting a new title, but they plan on making it more interactive and personalized. Viewers will have their "thumbprints" on the videos played outside of the show as well. [Whatever that means.]
Good New Shows:
"24 Before" will be executive produced by Jeremy Piven. It's a reality show that'll follow a person during the 24 hours before a life-changing event. The pilot tails a young soldier the day before he's deployed to Iraq. I only wonder how many events in ones life can be considered life changing. Once they reach "the day before I get my colored Wii" they should probably give up.
Stupid New Shows:
"Hardin High": is an animated series in which viewer photos will stand in for the heads of the main characters. "You have to watch to see if you're on the day's episode," said Lois Curren, president of series entertainment for MTV. The only thing that would make it interesting is if it were hilarious.
Shows with Potential:
"Worst Day of My Life": the creator of "Gilmore Girls," Amy Sherman-Palladino, plans on using letters that fans have written to her about their low points to create a scripted drama. Depending on the actors, characters, and overall plot, it could do well. It is Palladino after all.
"Jack My School": Ryan Seacrest is executive producing a reality show where students request the services of the show's host, an unknown so far, to negotiate with their principals for changes to their schools. It could be interesting at first, but not many adolescents are gun-ho activists.
"Kaya": a scripted musical series about the challenges of a young Avril Lavigne-esque singer. Not sure if that'll be scripted or reality-based. Either way, it could bomb as badly as much as Cheyenne and Ashley Angel Parker's did. I know what you're thinking. Who are those people?
