There are a lot of bad television shows out there, but I think I may have found the worst of all: "The Two Coreys."
Now in its second season on A&E, "The Two Coreys" is a reality show following the supposedly-splintered friendship between 1980s teen sensations Corey Haim and Corey Feldman. You remember them, right? They were the duo from "Lost Boys," "License to Drive," and "Dream a Little Dream."
They were kind of cute and amusing for a while, but then Haim succumbed to drugs and Feldman started imitating Michael Jackson wherever he went. Seeing as how they haven't been up to much over the past decade, it is perhaps not so surprising they would try to rebottle the magic by combining forces once again.
Dalton Ross of Entertainment Weekly reviews "The Two Coreys."
So they've done what any down on their luck celebrity does -- started their own reality show. But there is absolutely nothing real about "The Two Coreys." Obviously trying to pump up the drama, Haim and Feldman have concocted a phony feud in the hopes of making their lives interesting.
Haim repeatedly tells Feldman he needs to keep it real, while Feldman tells Haim he's too selfish. They argue in circles, and at one point, even debate as to who reacted worse when the other was molested. And, of course, like any bad reality TV couple, they go to therapy.
The whole thing is preposterous, of course. At the start of Season 2, Feldman acted shocked when Haim arrived in Los Angles, shocked when he learned that Haim would also be starring in his Lost Boys sequel, and shocked when he was asked to meet Haim at a deli to talk things over. But of course he knew all these things were happening. That's the show! The show that he's producing!
So if you want to see two people pretending to hate each other in the hopes that people will somehow find them interesting, by all means watch "The Two Coreys." Actually, it can't be any worse than that "Lost Boys" sequel. Or can it?
