    New show from MTV premiered last night in the States, apparently its full of sexual content, will give it a go later.

    HA!....great show man, it's like Hung meets Blue Mountan State, but set in high school. Had some genuine good laughs and gags. RJ is the biggest loser in high school, but he has a secret weapon!

    A donkey sized d*ck! :D, it's actually one of those rare MTV shows i like, pity the language is bleeped....hoping for an uncensored version.

    Ep. 1-2 are out now....i think it's worth a look!

    Oh and check out super hottie Amber Lancaster

    Ep. 2 - not too bad, not as many laughs, but still entertaining enough, you've got some likeable characters, and hot babes.

    thread already about it.
    might give it a look later though, just to see if it's any good.

    It's way better than Blue Mountain State in my opinion.

    Have watched first 2 eps and enjoyed it.

    Especially enjoyed the line
    "That's how a man smells, bitch."

    :D:D:D

    One of the funniest lines ever.

    Is this being shown on MTV over here or is it still only in America?

    Ep. 3 - not that great, much less gags and comedy lines. Seems to have been watered down since the initial two episodes. Ratings fell as well, i doubt MTV are happy with these numbers:

    Hard Times of RJ Berger (10pm)
    - 0.834 million viewers
    - 0.6/1 HH
    - 0.3/1 A18-49
    - 0.3/1 W18-34

    If it continues to side it's the end for RJ, thought you gotta admit it's got two smokin' hot chicks in the cast.

    It was ok, the chicks are hot all right.

    Those viewing figures are terrible though. It's MTV though...they should show it on their Europe/UK & Ireland channels and make it pay that way.

    It is June though, so also what do they expect.

    Seen 5 eps. now, i feel they have totally toned down the show since the pilot....it went from a 15 rated movie to 12A, it dosen't even have **bleeped** language anymore save for one or two sh*ts. Pity, the pilot was a riot.... very risque for an MTV show.

    If this had been on Spike or a subscriber cable channel it could work quite well, i'm still enjoying it enough, the toliet talk is very juvenile as well.

    Might watch the earlier episodes so, I watched episode 5 and thought it was just ok.

    Ep. 5 ratings....i doubt it'll get a second season based on these numbers:

    Hard Times of RJ Berger
    - 0.799 million viewers
    - 0.6/1 HH
    - 0.3/1 A18-49
    - 0.3/1 W18-34

    Ep. 6 - the best one thus far, and by all accounts it was Noureen Dewulf that stole the show!, i suggest you Google her pics....astonishingly good looking girl. she put on a very convincing English accent, nerd glasses, talks comic books, is a member of the purity club....and she STILL looked like a sex kitten!

    Twas a funny ep. with Claire getting some of the best lines, she's in next weeks ep. as well. I must keep an eye out for her in future.

    Ep. 7 was also pretty good...loved seeing fatty getting his ass kicked by a girl!, much less Claire this week, pity. It had some laughs and wasn't too bad overall.

    Seems RJ is getting a super hottie babysitter next week....body from hell!

    Was there any reason for fatty wearing a green T-Shirt in ep7 that said "Everyone Loves an Irish Boy"??

    ROFLMAO!....haha, that was great!, ep. 8 - the ending...brilliant way they did the comic strip, all puking on each other...hehe!, very funny ep., i think this show is improving quite a bit the last 3 eps. Fatty was much better in this ep., he actually made me laugh a few times.

    And Jenni is some hot sauce!

    YES!...great news!, MTV renewed RJ Berger for a second season :-)

    http://popwatch.ew.com/2010/08/02/hard-times-of-rj-berger-renewed-justin-bieber/

    As i said in my ^ post...the show has improved the last three episodes.

    [thanks for the edit mods]

    I don't belive this Justin Bieber BS...it may have helped a bit, but the show itself improved in the last 3-4 eps.

    http://www.tvguide.com/News/Justin-Bieber-MTV-1021262.aspx?rss=breakingnews

    But, will ratings go up for tonights ep.?...hmmm, Bieber's name is mentioned in every article related to the renewal, and the Twitterverse will mention both...be interesting to see if the ratings go up again tonight, that might prove the theory.

    I have just seen the trailer for this. I could not believe MTV made it. I always thought they'd only make sh*t like 'The Hills' (sorry Richard), or '16 and pregnant'. I'll give it a go later :)

    Ep. 9 - very weak, probably the worst ep. of the season....won't say more.

    Yeah it was a bit weak, a little bit laboured in parts I felt.

    The opening scenes were screwball humour and there weren't any more laughs to be had really.

    Hmmm.. having just watched the trailer, it does look suprisingly promising for something MTV has produced.

    Will give it a go.

    ^ the pilot is very funny, some class lines...it drops off then until ep. 5 and picks up.

    HOLY CRAP!...what an ending!..i have to spoiler this 'cause it's pretty big
    Lilly getting hit by the bus!!!!!!!!!!!....i was totally shocked at first, then burst out laughing!, then i felt guilty, one of those scenes you're not sure if you're supposed to be shocked or laugh

    Better ep. then the last two, had a few good lines, season finale next week!
