...And now here comes "Buckwild." I honestly have no idea how MTV decides what is and what isn't "entertainment" these days. "Jersey Shore," which I feel guilty for having been a viewer of, met its demise in being canceled last year, and to fill its shoes with equal stupidity and cultural stereotypes is "Buckwild." "Buckwild" attempts to be something a little bit different by combining "Jersey Shore"-style debauchery with "Jackass." The show follows nine 20-somethings in West Virginia and their definition of having fun in the backwoods of WV. Needless to say, "Buckwild" doesn't do much to help the image of West Virginia backwoodsmen and backwoods-women (West Virginia state Senator Joe Manchin publicly denounced the show and went on live television trying to tell people that this is not how his state really is) and is equal parts debauchery and crazy stunts. But like "Jerse Shore," all "Buckwild" is = mindless entertainment. I don't know how MTV found out about these kids, but you'll find yourself sucked into the stupidity and even liking it.
Without a doubt, "Buckwild" is MTV's new hit reality TV series to fill the gap left by "Jersey Shore" late last year.
6/10
