We reported earlier that a Tyrese produced reality show modeled after MTV�s Jersey Shore was in the process of casting. Well, it looks like they�ve finished and we have our cast for the new show, K-town. You can follow the cast members on twitter here and the show itself here. The producers had said earlier that they�re, �going to show Asian Americans like they�ve never been seen before to the rest of the world.�

sorry I should rephrase that!
Koreans are involved in an non original concept! a concept which is just a copy of the Italians from Jersey shore!
another scripted reality show!


what's next?
COMPTON BROTHAZ?
LATINO POSSE?

Now we need a Jenny Parkk with two Ks so you don't get her confused with all the other Jenny Parks in your life.

It is hoping to be picked up by MTV, but sounds like it hasn't been bought by any channel yet.

Unlikely it will be picked up by any of the major broadcasters. Asians just can't cut through the entertainment color barrier in the US. Hence why so many Asian-Americans are in Asia as VJ's, actors, actresses and singers.

Sounds insanely dull. An apartment of whiney girls and thugged-out guys. And thugged out girls and whiney guys.

And I guess Asian-Americans are so desperate for attention in mainstream American media that they'll consider a Jersey Shore knock-off a step up.

Asians have some style! but they are trying to express it in a white mans way or a black mans way! Asians need to be Asians!
if they want to break into the Western media they need to do Kungfu!
they need to write some Awesome TV shows, based on kickboxers and shaolin monks etc.. MArtial Arts has always been a genre which has worked for Asians.. if they want starring roles and their own shows.. then make some entertaining martial arts TV shows..

I know it sounds superficial but.. I mean.... come on.. we are talking about hollywierd here! a town were paris hilton and kim kardashian rule!

This is one show I'll be taking a miss on. Anything similar to Jersey Shore, The Hills etc is a no go on my TV guide. What a snooze fest.

(Although I'm actually quite intrigued by the compton brothaz and latino posse...)
