I can’t believe I watched the T.O. Show last night on VH1. Or, at least several minutes of it at various points.
As a Philadelphia Eagles fan, I probably should not like Terrell Owens a whole lot, but I can’t hate the guy. His ego is insane and he lets it affect the teams that he plays on, but, at some point, I would imagine that he’ll figure it out. Too bad his career will be over, but maybe he can have a moment where he figures it all out and becomes a champion.
Anyway, on to the show. The premise is basically, “Let’s take a somewhat boring football player who is completely full of himself and see if he can get his Lauren Conrad on.” I haven’t noticed a villain for T.O. to battle with yet but, I’m sure they’ll get there by the time season two rolls around.
He has these two women in his life who are constantly there, friends, publicists, something like that, I really don’t know. But, if these are the chicks that keep him from trying to kill himself, I certainly don’t want them around, because they are crushing entertainment. And, hey, don’t get on me because I said he needs to try that suicide thing again, I’m just 100% confident he can’t pull it off. So, I’m not saying I encourage T.O. to suicide.
Just, you know, when he does it unsuccessfully again, I’d like it to be videotaped.
Just watched the premiere of The TO Show last night, and I actually thought it was a pretty funny look into everyone’s favorite narcissist. It’s like an accident that you know you shouldn’t look at, but you can’t turn away from.
There’s a preview clip and a review posted at : http://displacedbrett.wordpress.com/2009/07/21/the-t-o-show/
Definitely worth watching, even if it was obviously scripted…just too much comedy gold. And surprisingly enough, they actually had some good music, like Tokyo Police Club’s “Graves” – and here I thought that VH1 and MTV totally dropped music from their channels.
