My Buried Life


Screen shot 2010-04-09 at 5.16.14 PM

Can this be? A show on MTV that I can not only tolerate but also enjoy? The premise of four young guys crossing things off their bucket list while inspiring others to do so is a breath of very fresh air for this network. It's like watching episodes of 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition' the way these guys manage to tug at heart strings on their course to complete their own adventurous list such as 'play ball with Barack Obama' while helping strangers complete more important tasks such as searching for their birth mother.

It's been awhile since I applaud MTV for their programming decisions but picking up this series for a second season is certainly a giant step away from the trashy side of reality television. Even Oprah was impressed with these guys and invited them to a recent taping of her talk show to share their story. Check out the group's Buried List.

My Umpteenth Reason To Hate MTV




I cannot believe they went there. Were they capitalizing on the success of 'Milk' and its Oscar winning screenwriter!? If it was the story of Pedro they wanted to tell, they already did- twice! Once with 'The Real World' and again with the heartbreaking special that followed it. This is just plain tacky and ridiculous and it seems like it'll take away so much from the story of Pedro Zamora. Of course there's a off chance they'll prove me wrong- but judging from their recent track record, I highly doubt it.
