    Awful

    Viva la Bam is awful.

    Bam comes off as a spoiled brat. Not hip or cool. Picking on his friends, dad, and mom. Sure its "All in fun" but if anything was ever done too him "Its pay back". So he's a bully thats comes off as a fake rebel. With a fashioncore attitude and "Fake rebellion". This show should be great with teenagers 13-17, living at home with their parents. Ungrateful for life and anything given to them.

    Viva la Bam is poorly written and pretends to be random and crazy! MTV is a generation destroyer. They put these false idols on TV and kids will follow anything that pretends to be "different" & "cool".

    "Be like Bam kids! You'll be unique" yeah... right...

    Good, but repetitive

    When Viva La Bam premiered on MTV, I was quite excited about it. It was a funny and inventive show with unique concept. And I liked Bam, his parents and his friends as characters. The first season was strong overall, but it already hinted at the problem the show has: It's just very repetitive. There are only so many things you can do with this kind of reality concept, and it doesn't hold your attention anymore, once you've seen several episodes.

    When the show started, I was puzzled about whether the show was "acted" or if it was all for real. I think it's obvious by now that Viva La Bam is indeed a scripted and acted show. Reactions often seem forced, and the more you watch the show, the easier it is to see all the seams.

    All in all it's a pretty good show, but I can't get excited about it anymore. It's too repetitive, and has very little replay value. Hopefully Bam will move on the other things soon, because Viva La Bam is getting a bit stale.

    Bam is god!

    This is easily the best show that currently airs on MTV. This is a spinoff show off of Jackass starring Bam Margera who in each episode torments his parents, and does all kinds of crazy stuff along with fellow Jackass cast members such as Ryan Dunn, and Raab Himself. Overall, it's the best!

    10/10

    the greatest show on mtv

    When I seen MTV airing promos for this show during the VMA'S I was excited and could hardly wait for the show to start.I have been a fan of Bam's since watching Jackass.He just started to really drive his mom crazy since the Jackass movie but has always picked on his dad.I love to watch him fight his dad and if you want want to see even more of his fights with his dad check out the CKY videos.They also have alot of the types of the things you would see on Jackass.

    Bam and the gang are the BOMB

    Viva La Bam! What can i say, if you don't like the show than don't watch it. I think this show is hilarious, who wouldn't enjoy annoying their parents, enjoying yourself in the process and making a packet at the same time.

    Bam's parents may seem like they get the rough end of the stick, but they really do enjoy the shenanigans that go on. Phil and April are always involved in the action, and as for Don Vito as disgusting as he is, he really plays an instrumental role in the show (who else's car's are they going to trash) I find the show is light hearted entertainment, which really does require a brain to think of the stuff they come up with. I would move into the West Chester castle any day. Keep up the "hard" work guys......its surely takes your mind off the depressing news headlines that control our lives. YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE!!!

    10/10
