The After Show
I am beginning to think that MTV is adding a new element to its Reality programming and it is called The Aftershow. It seems to have started with The Hills and is apparently going to be a part of the new season of The Real World. Although this wasn’t advertised I know it because I saw it on my DVR. Side note here The Real World Brooklyn begins tomorrow night at 10PM EST on MTV. Anyway I really didn’t get into The Hills Aftershow at all, which brings me to the whole point of this blog, what the heck is the purpose of The Aftershow. In my opinion it is just a super cheap why for MTV to capitalize on a hit show. They completely indicate that fans will find out so much extra stuff about the show yet whenever I watched it I never found out any extra cool information. They interviewed the cast and all but of course the cast isn’t going to divulge any juicy details. Obviously I will most likely record The Real World Aftershow just because my curiosity will get the best of me. However I will still stand by the fact that I have an issue with MTV kind of coping out by having an Aftershow instead of a new show for viewers. Now I am sure there are many of you out there who will completely disagree with me on this and that is your right. I am just saying that I think MTV can do better than a crappy Aftershow. As always let me know what you think?

The more I see him, the more awful and hipocritical he becomes. He did an awful thing.
