West Coast to East Coast

Remember when everyone was addicted to watching MTV's hit reality series, Laguna Beach? Because it was such a hit and aired for three seasons, I guess MTV decided to emulate this show and create many more just like it. MTV had officially lost all forms of credibility and creativity. 


Over the weekend I was reading a blog and came across a blog about fashion on The City, an East Coast version of The Hills. Not only are the same characters used, but it carries the same plot as this west coast drama. Just out of curiosity I decided to watch an episode of the City online. The entire time I was watching it, I couldn't help but think MTV could not think outside the box of shows featuring young breakups, girls fighting and showcasing eating disorders. Not only was the material similar to everything they have aired in the past, but it used the same font and techniques through the entire episode. 

MTV: Go back to musical television...reality is just not your thing!
