    parents beware

    This show(Next)is one of the most horrible shows on the airwaves. The young adults, (if you can call them that)are extremely promiscuous and talk vividly about sex. It is not what I consider entertaining TV for my teenage girls or anyone's for that matter. No wonder the producers of this show have to pay people to be on it for minutes at a time. I am sure if they didn't (the producers) they wouldn't have a show. MTV used to be great when I was in my teens and 20's. I don't even think they play music anymore. Do they??. After watching an episode of NEXT, I had to make my girls change the channel while avoiding their questions as to what a "pearl necklace " was!!!. And you might think that this is the year 2007 and I should get with the program, But morality never goes out of style.

    Fun to poke fun at, as much as it is fun to watch.

    4 out of 10 stars seems right.

    This is perhaps the most staged or scripted show on MTV, but somehow, it's sort of entertaining. I'm always explaining to sister all the flaws. The impossible camera angles, the stupidity from every contestant, the corny ill-timed remarks, the unnatural speech, etc. I explain it, she understands it, but she doesn't care. Her idea for watching futile television actually made the show bearable for me and somewhat entertaining.

    So if you're unable to recognize how ridiculously fake the show is, you might enjoy the show.

    Not the greatest, but is fun and beats the heck out of elimidate.

    I've seen about 13 episodes of this now, and It's fairly well. The whole plot is there is one dater, and 5 date options. The options are on a bus and go out 1 at a time to see the dater and he/she can spend time with them and ask them on a second date, or "next" them which makes them go back on the bus and the next date option strolls out. The show does have homosexual episodes, guys or gals. These are actually more entertaining to watch because while you are viewing the whole date with the dater and date option, they also show you what is happening on the bus a lot as well and if it's a homo episode then the bus parts are funner to watch because its more like two dates sometimes. The whole just seems to draw you in more than others, although Blind Date is still fun to watch due to all the visual make fun of effects they have going on. Definitely something you should try out at least once if these date reality shows are what you like.

    Dating perfection

    NEXT is the most addictive show ever produced. I've watched it for hours and hours. It is produced perfectly. The editing, music, writing results in a perfect package of confection. Wisely Kallissa Miller's company logo loop at the end features a cat that winks---it's a pretty good laugh.

    I admire the production team that makes this work, it can't be easy. Every transition is written in rhyme and to get those contestants to say those word convincingly must be a challenge.

    What I don't understand is why, considering that the show takes up a majority of MTV's broadcast day, they don't promote it off the air at all? Where's the press? Where's the push? They should be proud of this, it's a riot. Thanks

    Scripted and goofy however it was funny

    I know, I know. Next is an obviously scripted show. However, it sure as hell was funny and entertaining. It didn't dumb me down so it's a safe show.

    Next is a dating show where 4-5 guys or 4-5 girls cramp themselves in a bus to try to date a guy or girl (picker) who is waiting out of the bus.

    During the date as soon as the contestants step off of the bus the picker can say Next or keep dating that person. Sometimes a contestant would step off the bus and the picker would say "NEXT" because they did something goofy or were unattractive.

    The picker and contestant would do the typical dating activities, sometime they had goofy obstacle courses. At the end of the date the picker will say "You've been on the date for 45 minutes do you want to keep dating or leave and take the cash". Many episodes end in heartbreak, funny or happy.

    They have obvious rehearsed one liner disses.

    It was a stupid show because it was so fake. However, , it was a funny show to watch in order to past the time. It wasn't serious or obnoxious like today's dating shows. Superficial, yes.

    Verdict: Next was a funny ass goofy dating show. I liked it.
