The Two Coreys

As I watch this show I am thinking to myself "what is so different about this and other crap shows about people living in a house together". The answer is that there are two people in the house hold that have the same name. I know, Mind Blowing right? It just seems very cheesy and is looking like it is just done for the money the show will make. One Corey is portrayed as very neat and holy. He is shown as someone who has "turned his life around" just because he does not eat meat anymore and has quit smoking. On the other hand, the other Corey is portrayed as a very devilish character who is completely lazy and acts like a slob. I would compare this show to that Carter family house, very scripted and cheesy. It's not that I do not like these kinds of shows, don't get me wrong, I have no problem with a show like "Gene Simmons Family Jewels". I might give this show another chance by watching the second episode but for now I'm already getting bored of a 10 minute meal with them and a vegan. I was expecting some good things from these two men but there is a reason why they are known as child stars only.

*EDIT* I have watched basically all the episodes in the series and still think it is a terrible waste of time. Also I would like to add that it is not actually a "real" reality show. Corey Feldmen even said on the Tom Green show live that the show was not actually real and the fights were not real. This explains why his son is not shown running around in Feldmen's "House".

I realize that this show receives a lot of negative criticism, some of it I can agree with. Corey Feldman admitted recently that a portion of the show is scripted, which at times, is painfully obvious. But it isn't all scripted and staged. I have to say that probably the best part of this show is all the little things that Corey Haim does. His stupid yet funny comments always make me laugh. I can easily recognize that Haim is a true character. Yeah, sure, he is doing this in an attempt to kick start his career again, but he isn't fake (as Feldman can sometimes be). It's certainly no emmy winner, but The Two Coreys is worth watching every once in a while.

The shows is great, I know it is proper fake but at least they honest about. I find it entertaining. The show is at its best when the two Corey's are joking about and having friendly banter. I don't like the Susie character she is so annoying and I get real bored of the whole situation of her breaking up the Corey's. They should show more stuff of the two Corey's messing around and being themselves because they have such good chemistry. I don't like the fake stuff, I don't think they really need it. But in general the show is funny.

I've read some bad comments about the show but people should understand that this guys have been in some classic films, sure they might not be the best of actors but I grew up with their films and I really hope they go back to their routes and make a cool 80's movie.

I hope lost boys two is good, the original was great.

Haim is the man, he is so cool. I Bet the Corey's threw the best party's back in the day.

I want to know how much Danny Blankenship was paid to write his so-called "review". That sounded like it came straight out of a publicist's office, on a slow day even. The show itself is pretty good, but it's nothing more than you can expect from a "reality show". We know parts of it are scripted, and parts of it are not - but they would have been better off not scripting anything and just let them be who they are. They're both funny guys, and trying to force them into scripted lines just dulls what would otherwise be something funnier.

I suppose I'm in that weird age group that sort of grew up with Haim and Feldman, and yet not really. I am of that weird niche group that came just after their mega success and caught the "HBO" and "CABLE" rerunapalooza of "License To Drive" "Dream A Little Dream" and so on and so forth. I have over the years seen every one of the films these two guys have been in, some great "Lost Boys" "Licence To Drive" some awful "Busted" and "Last Resort", but no matter how horrid the script is or even sometimes how down right painful the acting can be there's still something fun about watching these two guys. I suppose they're the Crosby-Hope or Martin-Lewis of my generation. You knew even the crappy roads movies were going to be watchable because of the chemistry between Bing and Bob, and I have to say the same about Haim and Feldman. They're OK to watch separately, but together it's a complete set. I can't really explain why, it's just the way of the world. Unfortunately They're not on that same page. So, when I heard they'd be back together on TV(!) I was super excited. I was unaware that the show was scripted and because of that the show had an oddness to it...however once you realize it's totally scripted, it's really funny. They are so over the top at times that you can't help be laugh, were as if it were real, it's just totally uncomfortable to watch...I have to say that every ep. has it's ups and downs and that Suzie is so One dimensional that she's annoying to watch and listen to, they turned her into an unsympathetic character that seems spoiled and pampered. However, it's the moments, like when they're playing pool, or shopping, that you realize why you watch the show...it's fantastic. I just wish, they would have put just a little more effort into a convincing storyline...drew out the characters a little more and fleshed out...well everything. It's sort of sad in away, they only gave us enough to wet the appetite and now it's all over...damn you A&E!!! I only hope that the Coreys can put their differences away and come out with a second season, and this time leave Suzie at home with the kid.
