The Two Coreys

[tangentgirl]

Okay... I know that J.B. gave this a not so rave review... yet admitted that he was still a bit drawn to it.

I absolutely LOVE it!!! It's as dangerous as the X-box for me. I could sit there for hours. I asked the girls in my class if any of them had been watching it.... forgetting that there are only two of us left who are actually Generation X... so most of them didn't even know who they were. One girl did know who Corey Haim was from Lucas.

Anyhoo... I guess, it's possible that you have to be at or around my age. As I think that ALL reality t.v. is staged ... I don't mind so much.

I am embarrassed for both of the Coreys at times... and other times I smile and can see a hint of what it was that drew me to them in the first place.

I do wonder where the little one is... perhaps the Feldmans have some sense and aren't exposing their kid to this little experiment. (It's not quite as much of a train wreck as the Anna Nicole Show was. And they are both more likable than Paula Abdul--- she's so ridiculous I can't be in the same room when that show is on)

Anyway... I like it... and can't get enough of it.

I wonder if this ever will end up on belgian tv or mtv-europe or something

I just watched a couple of clips of this show on youtube and I commend anyone who can sit through an entire show. Haim is an obnoxious jerk and Feldman is a drama queen. The only one I feel kind of bad for is the wife.

Their kid is upstairs being taken care of by a nanny during filming. They probably should've stuck Feldman's wife up there as well. She's nothing but a camera hog who is trying desperately to kickstart an acting career from this.

Ain't gonna happen, judging by her poor attempts at drama.

The house isn't even Feldman's. It's just one being rented for the show.

Uhm .. after reading jsmith's post, i YouTube this .. and .. uhm .. i can just think of one thing .. : g.a.g. ... r.e.f.l.e.x...

Do people actually look at this .. uhm .. stuff (see, i'm being nice here. I could have called this crap, but i didn't...)

Even The Osborne's is better acted then this .. and that's saying a lot imo

[tangentgirl]

yes... that's the point... it's wonderfully bad.

And, this is just me personally, I think that watching a 2 min. clip on You Tube (which I think is stupid, btw... it's like going to TJ Max... you can find a gem in there, but who has the time or patience to sift through crap for hours--- not worth it) and then basing an opinion based on that is crazy.

If you aren't 30-something, then you probably should bypass this show. My sister, friends, and I think it's horrifically, terribly delicious.

So... whether it makes you cringe in embarrassment for them, want to vomit or gouge out your eyes, or simply laugh hysterically:

WATCH AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

You're absolutely right that i can't make an opinion on a 2 min clip.. I hope they show it somewhere over here ..

Now this is also just me, but i think it's sad times for and on TV (and alike) if people can spend time (or rather waste time) on watching "it's so bad it's good"-TV.
To me, that means there is nearly not enough good quality TV (and or movie) to go 'round

/shrug Oh well.. shutting up now ..

Point well taken, sir. Point well taken.



And with that having been said, I shall now go read a book.

After reading Johnny's review about this, I just had to see it for myself. I actually like Corey Feldman. :X I don't know why. I just really liked most of his kiddie movies, and I guess it just stuck. But this show... Man, it's so obvious that it's scripted! I mean, everything is so cheesy! Like the episode with the PETA chick. "Oh, no! Corey Haim ordered pizza! Well I guess we should have seen that coming. Teehee." That's exactly the way they make that part out to be! I don't watch reality shows much, so I don't know if they're all cheesy like this. But the ones I have watched, have never been this bad.

Even though it's bad, though, I just want to watch more. I really want to catch the episode where the Coreys fight (or attempt to, whatever). Man, the preview of that one looked so funny! Their little fake fight. It has to be great. I have to see that one!

Yep, and that one is this coming Sunday! Bring it, baby! Last night's episode where Haim planned the reunion show for Corey's band might have been the worst yet.

How lame was it when they all tried to act like they couldn't pull it off? The comedic pot of gold was probably Feldman's incredibly fake reaction to the sound guy saying he hadn't even set up anything yet.

As if the set up wasn't bad enough we're then treated to an incredibly awkward dancing/singing performance by Feldman. I was wondering why nobody was helping the poor guy while he head a seizure right there on stage. Then I realized that was his attempt at dancing.

I would describe his attempt at singing, but it'd bring too many bad memories to the surface.

I was too busy to watch the show last night. It was day two of "our 4 day sleep over party" that my 3 (almost 4-year-old) niece informed me we were having. I told her that 2 days was the limit.

I can tell you this for sure. Trying to keep up w/ and entertain a toddler is actually more fun and even more tiring than watching the Two Coreys.

I'm sure I'll catch the show again at some point.
