This was great!

- i really enjoyed it, some very clever dialogue, well written and some nice pop refrences thrown in, i liked the characters and thought the acting was above average for MTV.

Considering this is done by Doug Liman, the guys behind Covert Affairs/Bourne Identity it was actually something i expect to see on Showtime, it's actually quite a high standard for MTV, lots of sexual refrences done with a comedic spin.

Best line.....could you stick your finger in my ass, how's that working for ya?.....could you try your thumb

Recomending this one guys!

This is a perfect case of a TV show name putting me off a show. One of the worst titles I've heard in a long long time (yeah, I know it comes from a book title, but still....)

Anyway, sounds like it might be worth watching the first one at least.

The series kicked off a couple of weeks ago, ep. 2 is out....

Seen every ep. thus far, it's not a bad show...it's not for teens, young adult like mid 20's....the writing is very hip, but anti hipster....promo for the final four eps., ratings wise it's doing well but maily due to the Jersey Shore lead-in:

Bit disappointed by this news, the ratings weren't that bad as it had Jersey Shore as it's lead-in. I watched all 12 episodes and i found it rather well written, had some clever dialogue....sadly MTV today cancelled the show.
