30 Days

***Art*** · 06-13-2005, 08:19 PM

I just saw a commercial for a new show.

Morgan Sperlock, the maker of Super-Size Me, has a new show coming out, where he tries different things for 30 days. A couple of examples in the commercial: 30 Days making minimum wage, 30 Days on hormone therapy. These will obviously not be as in depth as his movie, as it is a half hour show. But it really looks interesting.

When is that show going to start?

Full-hour show, actually.

And it premieres this Wednesday night at 10:00 EST on FX. I'm looking forward to it.

I am also excited because I really enjoyed Super Size Me.

Full hour... I was sure he said half hour in the commercial. Full hour is much better.

On my program guide it's slated for the 10:00-11:01 time slot.

The show was a full hour long.

I have to say that I found the show very interesting. Morgan even said bull**** once, and it wasn't unedited. I found that kind of weird. Maybe I should brush up on my FCC standards for television. I mean I didn't care. I just found it weird.

The first show was about Morgan and his fiancee living on minimum wage for 30 days.

Cable TV, yo. The FCC doesn't (and can't) regulate it.

They even squeaked by with a TV-14 rating, because they only said it once.

I thought the show was absolutely awesome. The first TV show I can remember that actually made me a little glassy-eyed. Great, great stuff.

Ah ok. I wasn't sure.

And I also found this show to be sad. Sperlock makes another great point.

I hate Morgan Spurlock, "Super Size Me" was nothing but self promotion. Sounds like an interesting show though.

Anyone ever seen his show that he had before "Super Size"? It's called "I Bet You Will". Pretty nasty show.

I loved that episode. It was really interesting. A show that good should be moved up to an earlier time slot so more people can see it.

Aw, man. I forgot to watch it.

So will this show be weekly? Will each episode cover a set of 30 days, or will they split the days up over multiple shows. The only reason I ask is because if each episode covers all 30 days it could be hard to keep up with a weekly show.
