Getcha Popcorn Ready!!!! It's the T.O. Show baby!

I want to give a shout out to VH1 for finally gettin it right... A celebreality show that is actually gonna be good. Not that Scott Baio is 42 and pregnant, Hogan Knows Best, or Gotti's Way werent good, but the subjects werent always the most interesting (especially Gotti). They now have a subject that is in his "prime", maybe not in his profession but in life. He is very entertaining on and off the field, misunderstood and sort of an enigma. Terrell "T.O." Owens. The embattled, flamboyant, and you got to admit very good NFL wide receiver has his own spotlight and is gonna make the best of it. The T.O. Show begins when Owens was released by the Dallas Cowbiys at the end of the 2008-09 season. Along for the ride are his publcist and his best friend (2 females), who persuade Terrell to move to Los Angeles and find and live like the real Terrell and not "T.O." The women, get him to reconnect with his ex-fiance Felicia Terrell and have some fun. Along with all this California Dreaming, he gets signed by the Buffalo Bills thanks to his super agent Drew Rosenhous who makes cameo apperances throughout the series (I'm speculating, but lets be serious Drew isnt tryin to miss any shine he can get....especially FREE publicity).

Of course this isnt only about football and the L.A. party scene. There are twist and side plots thrown in. Not only does that make for good television, but really gives you an in depth look in Owens and crew. There are relationship issues, (not all these issues are problematic either) between T.O. and Felicia, his father (who was never there like he wanted and confessed the fact to him) , the two women and their "signifigant others", Ownes and Drew, the Los Angeles and his greatest inspiration...his Grandmother who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's a some years back.

This show really looks like its gonna be good. Its not a "of Love" show so, you won't have a bunch of nonsense like Flav, Brett Michaels, and Ray J (I cant believe they gave this dude another season of that foolishness). He's not a wanna be tryin to find that extra 15 minutes like Tiffany "New York" Pollard.

I really hope that they have a lot of background to show folks that he really is a hard worker with the drive and will to win a championship, and not a prima donna with quarterback issues and a bad attitude. Getcha popcorn ready son, its gonna be a wild ride. The show airs on July 20th at 10pm eastern time....
