Buzzkill (1996)

WOW-Where to start...

No, honestly, this show was THEE staple of my formative-adolescent mind. Hit me right at the cusp of innocence-to-pubescence, going from elementary to junior high. I totally remember Dave, Frank, and Travis' escapades (does anyone remember the New Orleans episode where they streaked??) The theme song crystallized in my head and I can sing it on cue -- not that it matters because most people I know have neevr heard of this show. Never knew of its ghastly consequences on society and all the jackassed cum laude to come. Jackass, Tom Green--- didn't even hold a candle.

I'm sure if I watched it now (what, with all this oversubmergence in reality-show fiascos) Buzzkill will look like a lame horse waiting to be shot. But boyyy I tell you, at the TIME it came out I was ENTHRALLED.

Whatever- the only two good MTV shows in the summer of 96 were this one and Oddville, MTV. Good enough to start my own RELIGION in the summer before middle school. It's more than tragic that I may very well be the only fan in america. There isn't even a fansite!
