God’s gift to basic cable, Jon Solomon alerts us to the following press release :
NEW YORK, March 29 /PRNewswire/ — We had the technology, so we rebuilt it. “The Surreal Life” is back — better, stronger and faster. Production is underway on the fifth installment of VH1’s “The Surreal Life” with a bionic mix of celebrity personalities including: the world’s first supermodel Janice Dickinson; power slugger Jose Canseco; one of the first ladies of hip hop Sandi Denton (Pepa of Salt-n-Pepa); Bronson Pinchot (“Beverly Hills Cop”); Omarosa (“The Apprentice”); UK glamour model Caprice; and motorcross madman Carey Hart.
The new cast hits the screen on September 4th for the fifth season premiere of
The Surreal Life.” From burlesque to bowling this new group of pop culture originals will play house in a Hollywood mansion and have their lives videotaped 24/7.
(hey, he was in “True Romance”, too!)
Fucking fantastic that Omarosa’s success in one mind-numbing reality show could lead to a gig….in yet another mind-numbing reality show. Will former Tony Adams paramour Caprice find love in Jose’s muscular arms? Is “Beverly Hills Cop” really a more prominent part of Bronson Pinchot’s resume than “Perfect Strangers”? You’ll have to wait until September to find out, unless you’d rather kill yourself first.
I think Bronson Pinchot is best known for his role as Balki, from the hit ABC tv show ‘Perfect Strangers,’ not from the hit motion picture Beverly Hills Cop. This is why blogs that merely regurgitate news clipping from other sources suck huge balls.
Joel,
thanks for answering that question. Given that that I asked it and illustrated the story with….a publicity photo of Pinchot _as Balki_, you may or may not have figured it to be rhetorical.
In any event, please, no further slurs directed towards SportsFrog. They’re doing the best they can.
Just when I thought today’s reality TV news couldn’t get any better, I read about Hogan Knows Best:

Ummm…The first episode of season 4, featuring a wailing, wasted and eventually naked-and-pissing-on-the-floor Mini-Me, was the greatest piece television this year (so far), at least this side of Illinois-Arizona…Seriously, if you haven’t seen it, put all your preconceptions aside and fucking watch…Utterly genius.
thanks, Gabe. You make it sound so appealing, i’m pre-ordering the DVD. I can watch Verne T. pissing himself and no one will _pay me_ to do so? Awesome.
