The network is trying to capture some of the audience, since their ratings are not doing as well as they would like. So they are resorting to an assortment of new �reality� type shows that are similar to their �Fan Club� series.
We had to question the thought process of VH1 programmers when they started the series �Ultimate Albums� and then featured Eminem out of all of the real significant albums to be released through the years. Yes, they are pandering to the mainstream, trying to win over some MTV age viewers.
Here are some of the new �reality� type shows VH1 is currently casting.
Guilty Pleasures � Similar to our Top 5 list from June.. This series will interview fans about song they love that are considered �Uncool�. This show will be in the VH1 countdown tradition.
Rock The House � Here is how VH1
describes the show on their website:
VH1's Rock The House is a reality series
in which a musical artist surreptitiously redecorates a room in a fan's
home in the artist's signature style while also allowing the fan to spend
some time with his or her rock idol or favorite band.
VH1 are currently looking for fans for this series. Here are the cities and artists they are seeking fans for:
Los Angeles: Goo Goo Dolls fan, Tommy Lee
fan, and Paula Abdul
New York: Eve fan and Ice-T fan
Atlanta: Usher fan
San Francisco: Sammy Hagar fan
TBD: Weird Al fan
Reunions: Here is VH1�s spiel on
this series:
Reunions, an upcoming new series on VH1,
is seeking poignant, compelling stories of a reunion in which music plays
an integral part of the story. Is there a song or artist who could reunite
you with someone from your past? Does your story involve that one person
who changed your life forever, a lost loved one who supported you during
some of your best and worst times, or even a group of friends, co-workers,
or teammates who shared your most accomplished or most tragic moment? We're
looking for stories from you that reveal how music shaped or changed you
during a critical time in your life.
VH1 wants to capture the reunions on film and are asking people to submit their �stories� for consideration.
Rock Grave: Now we get further into the questionable taste of VH1 programmers with the series �Rock Grave�. Here is what they have to say about this series in their pitch to find fans to participate:
Are you a huge fan of a deceased rock legend? If so, VH1 may want you to participate in an upcoming special exploring rockers who have died, and the fans that help keep their memories alive.
VH1 will join you on your journey to the artist's gravesite, and along the way, we'll learn about you and why this artist's death has changed your life. We're especially interested in fans of these artists: Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Layne Staley, Elvis Presley, Jerry Garcia, Cliff Burton, Randy Rhoads, and Brad Nowell.
If you are interested in participating in any of these series, details are available at the VH1 website.
