Scratch & Burn

this show is a work of comedic and creative genius.

Mtv is NOTORIOUS for producing short lived works of genius (austin stories, the state, scratch and burn); while leaving terrible shows on schedule (any and all, including the mostly boring punk'd, and the deplorable jackass shows and spins off).

this show is much like the afformentioned show THE STATE, however what makes this show stand apart and is subsequently more creative than the State is that most of their skits are spoken in rhyme...yes, they rap and do so very well, not so much ghetto bling this and that like Snoop dog did in his awful show Doggy Shizzle Televizzle. Rather, SCratch and Burn's skits were more like music videos, and the style of their rap, thematically even, are not too far off from the rap of the late 80s: slick rick, fresh prince, biz markee...and that is a HUGE compliment to this show. it would be a shame if these genius' produced something in the style of 50 cent and his g-unit with their monotonous droning.

i would LOVE to have this show on DVD. but MTV doesn't often believe in it's good shows. M does not stand for Music for MTV, rather it stands for Mediocrity...it's a shame too because SCRATCH and BURN was for a very short time was what kept me watching that channel. and i'm all that matters, right?

Scratch and Burn, was probably the best thing MTV did since Real World. I was so disappointed, when i found out it was just one of those filler-season-shows. It was amazing that these four guys made just about everything said or done in the show. It was incredibly funny and witty. Hopefully, they will continue to do their live show (ie The Bombitty of Errors) and they'll come around here! If MTV knows whats good, they'll bring this show back! Or atleast put it out on a dvd or vhs set!

This show was hilarious. It has been off the air for years and my whole family, from the youngest to the oldest, still mock the skits and characters and laugh. When we first saw it we thought it was going to be huge, then before it ever got a chance, it was gone. We were lucky enough to have it TIVOed. Everyone we ever played it for, had the same reaction. Where is the show now, and why would anyone have dropped it, it was so great. If I had the money and the know how, I would invest every dime in this show. These guys have so much talent and unique creativity, I would've loved to see what they could have done had they been given more time.
