The Two Coreys: End of the Line?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Reality, Cable, Editorial,
After two short seasons, Sunday night’s finale seemed to toll a death knell for the A&E series The Two Coreys. Is it all really over? I see much more reality TV in store for this pair.
Season two of the show displayed a marked difference from the more lighthearted fun of the first, which often made Corey Haim’s antics seem childish but never truly harmful. The season that was marked with drama and squabbling ended in much the same way, though on a somewhat somber note. This ambiguous ending leaves much more to be said on the future of the two…assuming there is one.

MONDAY (8/4)
- Teen Choice 2008 (FOX, 8pm): “Miley Cyrus hosts the 10th annual gala honoring achievement in entertainment, sports and fashion.” If kids are wearing things from the 80’s, could that really be considered an achievement in fashion?
- I Want to Work for Diddy (VH1, 9pm): Series premiere. “Applicants compete to be Diddy’s next personal assistant.” The more babies you have, the more umbrella holders you need.
- New York Goes to Hollywood (VH1, 10pm): Series premiere. “New York moves to L.A. to pursue her dream of becoming an A-list entertainer.” Ashley Dupre has proven that you can live in New York and do the same there.
- Luke’s Parental Advisory (VH1, 10:30pm): Series premiere. “Former rapper turned adult-entertainment producer Luther ‘Luke’ Campbell auditions women for his company then gives his teenage son a lecture about pornography.” It’s The Cosby Show of the millennium.

An End for The Two Coreys
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, Cancellations, Gossip, Video,
Sooner or later, all train wrecks must come to an end.
According to the the co-producer of The Two Coreys, the show’s second season will be the last for the A&E program. Haim’s documented relapse - coupled with the duo’s ongoing issues - make it difficult for the series to proceed.
It’s also hard to produce a show when the stars aren’t even speaking to each other. In the recent issue of People, we learn that the Lost Boys actors won’t even appear in the same photo together anymore.

MONDAY (7/28)
- Wanna Bet? (ABC,9pm): “Corbin Bernsen, Tom Bergeron, Rip Hamilton and Melissa Peterman are the celebs placing the wagers. Stunts include a man trying to kick himself in the head 45 times in one minute.” Wanna bet people only know who half these ‘celebrities’ are?
- Paranormal State (A&E, 10pm): Season Two premiere. “The team investigates supposed activity at a home, including the mysterious destruction of religious objects and the unexplained appearance of dead animals near the home.” Dead animals? Should they be looking for ghosts or a serial killer?
- Make a Move (DIY, 10pm): “Amy Wynn Pastor helps newlyweds with their eco-conscious home, including projects like a compost heap, a kitchen upgrade and a wall demolition.” Ah, newlyweds. Always so annoyingly optimistic.
- Weeds (Showtime, 10pm): “In Mexico, Celia discovers the joys of discounted medicine at local pharmacies.” If only she had known about the $4 generics at her local Wal-Mart.

- Top Gear (BBC, 8pm): Season premiere. “A game of car soccer is played.” No wonder kids are too fat these days. They can’t even get out of their car to actually kick a ball!
- American Gladiators (NBC, 8pm): “In the ladies tilt, a student tries to make the grade against a future figure skater.” As we’ve learned from Dancing with the Stars, figure skaters come with an unfair advantage.
- The Closer (TNT, 9pm): Season 4 premiere. “Fritz and Brenda’s new duplex forbids the presence of pets, but that doesn’t stop Brenda from keeping Kitty on the premises.” If Kitty is the pet, what’s Fritz?
- Saving Grace (TNT, 10pm): Season 2 premiere. “Grace gets busy on her day off: She works to unlock the secrets of her her haunted past, but instead ends up apprehending a criminal on the FBI’s Most Wanted list.” And I’ll bet she doesn’t get paid for doing all that work on her own time.

Corey Haim Returns to Destructive Ways
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, Video,
Even though Corey Haim yearned to become involved in Lost Boys 2, the actor has perfected the fine art of sabotaging his own career.
In this clip from the upcoming episode of The Two Coreys, Haim not only becomes a diva, he turns into a sad druggie.
The A&E program airs Sunday nights @ 10.

MONDAY (7/7)
- The Bachelorette (ABC, 8pm): “In the season finale, DeAnna has a choice to make between the two finalists after taking her two suitors to a Grand Bahama Island and home to Georgia to meet her family.” In the event of a tiebreaker, the most photogenic candidate should always be chosen. Good wedding photos last forever.
- Jon & Kate Plus 8 (TLC, 9pm): “As the sextuplets turn 4, Jon and Kate take them to a bakery to decorate their own birthday cupcakes with the stipulation that they can’t eat them until after dinner.” Cupcakes? Note to the Jolie-Pitt clan. More kids = smaller birthday celebrations.
- Verminators ( Discovery, 10pm): “Jamie has to tackle his fears when he is called in to deal with a black widow.” Apparently someone needs to work on his rochambeau skills.
- Psychic Kids: Children of the Paranormal (A&E, 10pm): “A story of ReAnna Kelly, a girl supposedly visited by spirits, including that of her deceased grandmother, jazz singer Nina Simone.” There are times when hearing the song ‘Sinnerman’ is not so cool.

The Two Coreys Return to A&E
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, Editorial,
The second season of The Two Coreys premiered Sunday night, and those who didn’t see it missed some Grade A reality TV.
Generally, the second time around is never as good as the first. We see this all the time in sequels, remakes and television renewals. How could the second season of The Two Coreys, which ended last season on a highly intense dramatic note, ever be as good as it was in the beginning?
Great editing and text-based narratives created can’t-miss drama in the first moments of the second season opener. The show began with very little recap and preamble, devoting much of its time to showing a series of events which led up to a meeting between Corey Haim and Corey Feldman - for the first time in six months. This meeting was briefly highlighted at the beginning and end of the opener, then more fully explored in the episode which immediately followed. Terrible secrets and past pain were revealed early on, somewhat shocking in their nature.

MONDAY (6/23)
- I Love the New Millennium (VH1, 10pm): “Eight-part series featuring stars reminiscing about pop culture phenomena of the new millennium begins with the year 2000.” Is it too soon to wonder what VH1 will cover in 2011?
- Legally Blonde the Musical: The Search for Elle Woods (MTV,10pm): “The ladies perform with a canine costar: Bruiser, the dog from the musical.” I had no idea Ashton Kutcher revived Punk’d.
- Psychic Kids: Children of the Paranormal (A&E, 10pm): “A 14-year-old boy, who claims to see spirits of people and animals, is introduced to siblings close to his age who supposedly have paranormal gifts.” I’m always happy when freaky kids find someone to play with.
- Weeds (Showtime, 10pm): “Celia’s hard time in county lock-up gets harder when her cellmate decides to make Celia her ‘special girl’.” Yeah - that would definitely suck.

Preview the Nasty Tension on The Two Coreys
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, Video,
Last summer on The Two Coreys, the series hit a painfully awkward note when the subject of The Lost Boys came up. Corey Feldman had to let Corey Haim know that a sequel to the vampire flick was going to be made without him. (Since that announcement, things have changed.)
Come this weekend, Season 2 will once again reach some very dramatic moments. In the clip below, the friends (?) have a very heated confrontation about some deep dark secrets from their past.
If you want to see how this whole thing plays out, tune in this Sunday night @ 10pm on A&E. In the meantime, relive the moment when Haim finds out about Lost Boys 2 after the jump.
