MTV hopes 'Hard Times' will end hard times for its ratings
Can a well-endowed teen make MTV hot again? The youth-obsessed cable network, seeking to stem a years-long ratings slide, thinks it has found just the thing to get back on track: "The Hard Times of RJ Berger," a scripted comedy about a boy with an, um, anatomical "gift." The show, billed as a cross between "The Wonder Years" and the R-rated comedy "Superbad," is a raunchy coming-of-age tale about a nerdy teen who achieves notoriety among his high school peers when they discover that he has a rather large penis....

I can understand MTV trying to reinvent itself, it's currently on life support and the public is slowly pulling the plug. A show like this reminds me of all those past series that started out bland and then the moment they got a wee bit controversial they were killed. MTV faces no such fears, we have rigged cable television so that this can't happen, we pay for the privledge of being insulted.
'The Wonder Years?' How do they see any comparison? Not even that looney (and wonderful)'Malcolm in the Middle' exploited anything overtly sexual. Network television yanked 'James at Fifteen' for even thinking about sex, and ABC killed one of the most popular 1994 teen series 'My So called Life' for it's depection of a gay teen (a brave Wilson Cruz as the gay boy, but we all lusted after Jared Leto).
So is America ready for a boy with the biggest cock in town? What a ploy for just another bad series concept.
Two thumbs down from me just for the idea.
