The show was scripted to death


It started ok, but as time went, it just became more and more obvious how scripted it was.

None of these shows are real. You really think his parents were shocked at something as the camera crew set up for an hour or two and got filming permits. Everything on Mtv is FAKE.

The Osbournes was real.

Yes, very true, it did become very obvious. But, the first season was great T.V., you gotta admit that. I remember sitting down with my parents to watch this followed by Wildboyz, haha good times.

i know. its so pathetic, really. it's whole deal is to present all these wild dudes being outrageous and all that, but it just gets annoying as it goes. don vito is seriously starting to become the most annoying guy imaginable. (i'm watching the series consecutively, im on the new york episode where don vito's dressed as waldo.) what was super funny in the first episodes, like his subtitles and temperament are so lame and played out. ryan dunn (R.I.P.) and occasionally bam seem to be most aware of the scripted nature of things, where they'll comment on where montages happen and where the cuts happen etc. that balding[!] guy is most annoying, and apparently least aware. that guy is REALLY annoying... not as much as mr. vito "the pedo", but he comes damn close.

oh, and one more thing. those f###"ing finnish d###heads are horrifyingly aggravating. smashing plates over their heads and being oh-so wild (see: desperate).

come to think of it, this show is pretty painful in it's last couple seasons. was that why they stopped making them, or did ratings start to suck? anybody know??

Me and my bros tried to film some stuff like this show once. You know what we got? Lots of footage of guys sitting around drinking and arguing about stuff lol. It NEEDS to be scripted!
