Nothin’ but the Truth.

This weekend MTV is broadcasting 24hrs of Jackass. I thought this was a joke when I first heard about it but no, it’s real. I turned on the TV this afternoon around 1 and there was Johnny Knoxville scrubbing what looked to be shampoo into another man’s hair…. harmless enough, right? wrong. It was Nair. The man taking this abuse was giggling as some other Jackasses pulled hair out of his head. The man’s scalp was bleeding and a studio audience was horrified. Are you serious that MTV is so hard-up for ideas that they have to show these undiagnosed retards on daytime television. I think whoever at the network thought this was a good idea needs to be fired. I can’t believe after all the slack Jackass got back in 2000-01 for their show that MTV would take a chance at not just bringing the show back but showing the Jackasses LIVE for 24hrs straight. Jackass is a dumb show and I must admit that I find it amusing but how can the network think this is a good idea?! Jackass movies are fine because viewers are supposed to be 17 or older… which most aren’t. I’m not trying to sound preachy at all but I’m trying to figure out how MTV could be so stupid to put these men on tv for 24hrs. I wrote about MTV not playing videos and I think if the network is hurting so badly for show ideas they need to go back to the classic MTV formula…… SHOW VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!MTV has hit a major low in the past five years (maybe more) with their terrible programming. I can’t stand the Real World anymore. The only Real World seasons that were any good were Miami, Seattle and Hawaii. Those were all back in the 90s. Daria was a quality, scripted show but NOOOOOOOOOOO MTV decides they need to show whores prancing around in underwear, drunk off their asses making out with random guys…. sure that’s great TV… NOT! MTV either bring back the videos because I thought MTV stood for MUSIC TELEVISION or start airing scripted television. I seriously think MTV needs some major help because your channels are going down and fast. Nickelodeon is cashing in on the Jaime Spears pregnancy by not pulling the show. Nick is supposed to be a kids channel and you are promoting a show because the ratings are high. That’s low.

I always wondered why Disney was so big lately and I know figured it out… Disney is for kids and they stick by that. Hannah Montana may be a dumb show but it’s not a bad show. Disney even sticks by their clean image with their movies too. “Enchanted” was a well-written film. Why can’t Nick have movies that the entire family can enjoy?

 I don’t get it. I want to know why MTV has sabotaged itself? TRL sucks, reality dating shows are sick and the VMAs like to exploit their “past stars” (Britney Spears). MTV, I really hope you figure out your network because having Johnny Knoxville bust his “manparts” on a bike is not appropriate TV for anyone… especially 13-year-olds watching your channel at 1 in the afternoon.
