Corey & Corey

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.

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".

The Two Coreys is great fun and a refreshing new show for summer. As the episodes go on, it get's more humorous. The sweat lodge episode is my favorite so far, and Haim's birthday ep was sweet. As far as nostalgia goes, seeing these two characters again is a blast, and I look forward to it every week. It's cool to see Feldman happily married and responsible. Haim is still adorable and you're constantly rooting for him. Both are perfect and hilarious in all there scenes together. Though the show seems a bit set up, with it's Odd Couple premise, it's heart is in the right place. Like other posters I've read, it's just wonderful to catch these guys in any venue or forum. They still have that Corey chemistry! Hopefully A&E will continue with more than 7 eps.

I was a very big fan of these two guys when I was growing up. Cory Haim more than the other. I watched all there movies over and over. Their faces plastered my bedroom walls to the annoyance of my father. I even ordered this video that followed Cory Haim around in his free time. I watched the first episode of this show I was hoping to see two men that had grown from the boys they had been, but I don't think they have grown one bit. They, Haim the most, looks and acts like a boy in a man's body. Where he was cute and funny when I was a girl, has turned into a moron as an adult. It is sad really. I couldn't stand to watch it.

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.
