Thank You MTV, May I Have Another?

Miscellaneous TV

Well, it’s the dog days of summer. Labor Day is just around the corner, and across the country, malleable young high school grads are packing up their belongings and heading off to college. Those days have long past for us old fogeys here at TVgasm, but we like to relive them through MTV’s annual offering of Sorority Life and Fraternity Life, which leaves me simply asking: WTF?

Where is our parade of unattractive girls (see above) and thickheaded guys? Where is our compedium of silly pranks and alcoholic hijinx? Sure, some of the brothers killed an octogenarian koi fish in the last season of Fraternity Life, but that shouldn’t fell a burdgeoning franchise. No other show starts off so unappealingly every season only to wind up embarrassingly riveting. Please MTV, in the name of all things campy and silly, bring back our Greek shenanigans.

So far, I haven’t read whether or not the show has been officially cancelled or officially renewed. We’ll just have to remain in the dark like a trembling pledge tied up and blindfolded, awaiting the reality hazing that only MTV can give us.

    b-side:

    you are my hero.

    we toiled on that thankless show for years on a show that needed more explanations than we were allowed to give. those ugly kids made for some really compelling ‘reality’ tv. but we had a damn good time making the shows.

    maybe they’ll come back some day.

    maybe they’ll just haunt our memories.

    but you sure are swell for keeping the memories alive…

    long live SORORITY LIFE!

    I was just thinking about these shows and wondering why we’ve been forced to watch reruns of “Made” and “True Life” over the past few weeks.

    Aren’t there more girls/guys who need to buy their friends?
