Spike is unveiling a new series called World’s Worst Tenants where they follow Todd Howard with his team of eviction specialists, business partner and wife evicting tenants from their residential, commercial and retail units they manage. I know this sounds insane, but I had to blog about this because it seems like amazing mindless television. It’s almost like World’s Wildest Police Videos meets Dog The Bounty Hunter–two series that I’ve wasted many hours watching.

I have personal interest in this series because I know the tenant/landlord situation very well because my old landlord was a douchebag! He’d stolen money from me (long story), and I took the bastard to small claims court and won! Needless to say, I’m all about these disputes! Kick ‘em where it hurts! I know this new show is about landlords kicking tenants out, and that wasn’t my story, but I can relate.

The new series premieres June 12 at 10PM ET/PT on Spike.

So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio.

    I managed an apartment complex once and had to evict a few people. Mostly they were uneventful, but the ones that weren’t were CRAZY. Not a job I miss in the slightest.

    SuperB, I just can’t imagine you evicting anyone. And evicting a crazy must have been really, really bad, not to mention scary.

    Ah the jobs we hold to survive.

    Oh, this is definitely some date night fodder. And I love the imagine this idea gives me. If anyone has watched Grandma’s Boy, all I can see is Rob Schneider as a Persian landlord throwing Allen Covert’s “smoking lamp” and killing it. This could be all kinds of awesome.

    And I, too, have some beef with former landlords. They’re dirty sons of bitches 99.9% of the time. (Not you, SuburBint, of course)

    Damn it, SB — I TOLD you I had the rent money!!! It just took me a few years to remember where I stashed it.

    If a half pack of Rolos and my word aren’t enough for you, then I don’t know what is!

    When I saw the headline, I was going to ask where I can submit names for the world’s worst tenants because my neighbors are HORRIBLE! I think they are somehow monitoring me and then pounding on their floor right above whatever room I’m in.

    I also think they have an elephant or a cow up there or something – no way a human stomps that much.

    And whatever they cook up there smells like deep fried ass. And someone snores like a lumberjack. You’d think I wouldn’t be able to hear him/her snoring. But I can – it’s that loud.

    And don’t get me started on their kid riding a bike on their balcony and throwing toys onto my patio and then getting pissy with me when I throw them on the grass – I should throw them at the kid’s head and give them something to get pissy about.

    Oh, I’m sorry – where was I? Oh yeah. This looks like a show I’ll watch – people be crazy!

    I just seen the commercial about the show..I know it would be way out there to keep a horse in the house but Illegal I don’t think that it is.that one I will have to check into..But it was funny as hell but in my opinion it would be like have a dog in the house up to the owner..

    Another show where we get entertainment from the misery of others. There is so much “entertainment” based on so much sadness. What does it say about our country? We have fallen far from the “greatest generation” that my grandparents were part of. No wonder we have become so dependent and weak as a nation. Sad, sad, sad! W

    OK if your going to fake a show do it right. First off “AR 15″ or “M4″ do not have on and off switches on the magazines. “TOY GUN” When the bolt action is back the dust cover for the ejection port will be open. Two, La county sheriff’s and all law enforcement ” C H P ” must have identifying patches on there Uniforms. ” C H P ” badges are seven points not six. As for la county sherriff’s are sex point whit small ball’s on the tip’s of the star. You will not have dispatch get a hold of dispatch if that is how you are talking too???????????

    If this show is just reenactments, that’s pretty disappointing then. That should be made clear to the viewer.
