MTV Just As Shamelessly Nostalgic As The Rest Of Us
Yesterday, MTV announced it was planning to air new episodes of Unplugged, the somewhat-dormant series in which frowny-faced musicians perform for a room full of scented candles. The news comes just a few weeks after the network kick-started such stalled franchises as Say What? Karaoke and Diary, both of which will be returning to the airwaves this year (though the latter will be broadcast on CMT). But why stop there? We have a whole night’s worth of potential new remakes, all of which will appeal to MTV’s demographic of ADD-addled, over-sexed mid-teens. A few pitches:
Womb Wraiders You Burped It, You Watch It Sifl And Olly And SuChin Pak Crabs Undressed: No, Really–This Time, They’re Undressed. And They’re Doin’ It!
We also had a hee-larious parody called Pimp My Trike, but the ever-edgy Aaron Sorkin got there first.
