Dude, help me out here. I know this was a joke on Family Guy or Robot Chicken or some show that mocks pop culture, but now I can't place it, and A&E is ACTUALLY DOING IT:

- The Two Coreys – Corey Haim tests his long-time friendship with fellow actor Corey Feldman, as he moves in with him and his wife, Susie. The Feldmans then have to deal with their challenging house guest. Produced by RDF.

- Casting Call: MTV Networks' Music Group has launched two casting sites where viewers can submit themselves to appear on two shows, The Real World on MTV and I Love New York on VH1. Starting today, viewers can visit The Real World Casting site at www.RealWorldCasting.com to try for a spot in the next house or be a casting judge. Viewers of I Love New York can visit www.ILoveNewYork2.com to try for a spot during the second season or be a casting judge.

- TBS will add a free ad-supported version to its subscription-based online gaming platform GameTap from May 31. The company found that "several million" users visited the site monthly, but that many do not return after their free trial subscription expires. The free service will feature action/adventure, racing, sports and fighting titles. GameTap will continue to offer a premium "gold" service of more complex games free of ads.

  I Love New York... 2? You mean her first stab at finding true love by whoring it up in a house full of australopithecene wankstas didn't work out? What are the odds?

  Huh. Now I done Googled it, and Wikipedia says that the "winner" of the first round dumped her because he was in love with her secret identity, but couldn't stand her TV alter ego. I could have saved him the trouble; they're both awful.

The Two Corey's idea was indeed a sketch on Robot Chicken and I thought it was an awesome idea then (considering they actually did their own voices) and an even more awesome idea now.

My question is it a scripted sitcom or reality series? Or simply a scripted reality series? I hope it's the latter because the best part of the Robot Chicken bit was the self-parody aspect.

It was listed with their other developing reality series, so I think it's supposed to be a reality show. Though how real can a setup show about two actors be?

Another sad casualty of the "Wait, reality TV isn't real?!?" cult.

Do the trained monkey bodyguards wear little tuxedos?

[godchilde.livejournal.com]
