This little review was originally built around the idea that I would talk about recently cancelled or ended television programs. That is all well and good, but when given the chance, I started yammering on about shows from 1994. Not exactly recent, but I don’t think anyone minds. I’m not too good with confinement and I hold little hope that this will only be about recently cancelled shows. But, in an attempt to serve my master, so to speak, I am going to attempt to talk about H8R. I’m going to be honest; I went to a certain baby-talk themed search engine and looked for cancelled fall shows. No, not shows about physical comedy, stuff that would actually be considered recent. I have to tell you, not a lot of things have had the axe fall on them yet, but this glorious show lasted 4 episodes, and included such impressive talents that I could not contain my outrage at finding out it would no longer exist.
This show was H8ed by viewers so it has been taken off the air after almost a whole month. Ironic how h8ed celebrities are on a show confronting people who then explain their h8 for said celeb isn’t well liked. Awkward phrasing of the sentence aside, this show was just a weird idea. We’ve got some celebrity; let’s call them former Los Angeles Dodger Steve Garvey for this example. Steve walks up to a h8r, and talks them about that h8. Sound awkward? You bet it was. Add in a camera crew and Mario Lopez just kind of hanging out and you’ve got a very weird show. It’s just uncomfortable to watch. Not because I feel bad for Steve, but because it is just a weird idea. Well, maybe they’ll have some talented people and the h8 will be so intense it’ll be interesting. No. This is the CW. We’re going to get untalented schmucks and have people not really be so mean.
The Miz is the only one who did this appropriately.
Sadly, the Miz is the one who is supposed to get ripped, not that random guy. If I can step up on my soapbox (not sure where it came from, my soap comes from Kmart) and talk about the reason I’m glad this show failed. It has people like Snooki, Kim Kardashian, and some guy from The Bachelor going up to their h8ers and trying to win them over. Any of which were convinced likely only to appease the camera crew and the 90s pop culture icon that was standing there as well. It is giving more air time to these useless people and taking celebrity worship too far. I’m glad CW axed it, but they themselves should be axed in the heads for green lighting it in the first place. People that are famous for being drunk, whores, both or some guy from the Bachelor have h8ers because they suck. They shouldn’t win them over. Everyone should be on the show just screaming at them. Honestly that is the only reason I was hoping this would be fun is watching them get reamed. Sadly, it wasn’t. Like I said, it was awkward, and I was mainly let down because I wanted people to be more vicious.
People who watched all 4 of these things should get either a medal or a kick in the teeth. It was just so lame. The last episode did 1 million viewers, which sounds gre8 to me, but I’m sure is bad. I’m going to focus on the two morons listed above, stupid bimbo and little troll. How many things off the top of your head can you think of to make fun of Snooki for? Exactly. If this show had those insults, it would have been awesome. Instead we have Mario Lopez knocking on her door and telling her she has a h8r. Snooki then laughs and gets somehow worse looking in the process. Then, they show her a video of her h8r. He is ripping on her for not really being Italian. Really? Really? Miz wants to know what happened to MTV celebrities. REALLY! They then go find the h8r at a bar in the middle of the day (real set up I’m sure) and she yells at him then goes to dinner and wins him and his family over. She cusses and acts stupid to him at the bar, then pretends to be all sweet and nice at family dinner and that’s it. That’s not fun. She wins that fight. No one got h8ed on but the obvious actor plant guy and Snooki gets to low good. It was disappointing for this show to be on in the first place, then somehow the execution is worse.
How can people hate a show with this face in it?
I was going to talk about Kim, but honestly, a black woman doesn’t like her because her ass isn’t that nice. Kim finds her, paints with her and talks about Hurricane Katrina. The woman has a revelation that she shouldn’t h8 her because of what she sees on television. This is just one big public relations tour for celebrities that kind of deserve the flack they get. Although if it had worked, maybe without controversy the little troll lady from Jersey and Bruce Jenner’s most gratifying divorce opportunity would stop bothering the world so much.
She clearly still hates her still. Probably because she can't even paint.
I really don’t h8 these celebrities that much. It’s not their fault they are famous, it’s yours world. I like to ignore them, but in reviewing this show it reminded me why I try to stay as far away from mainstream as it gets. The show made me see that maybe they’re not as untalented as I thought. They were fantastic actresses and made themselves look worth a crap. Kudos to you girls for your performances. If the only good thing about the show is watching Mario Lopez sit in a car a laugh, then we’ve got trouble. I h8 H8R and you h8rs should h8 H8R too. It just goes to show that no matter how hard you try….
