Remember when Flava Flav was just your typical angry rapper?

There was a time when VH1 used to play the best in adult contemporary music, but that era is quickly fading as the network falls deeper and deeper into the bowels of reality television. Today, VH1 announced seven new TV shows that will be debuting in late 2007/early 2008.

The Salt 'N' Pepa Show

A reality series that revolves around the Grammy winning hip-hop duo. Will the words "Lets Talk About Sex" sound appetizing when spoken by the now middle aged ladies? I doubt it. But the show does have a saving grace - - Salt has apparently found God, and Pepa still spends her time partying. That contrast should be entertaining for as long as it takes you to find the remote.

America's Most Smartest Model

Oh VH1, you guys are so clever with your silly titles. In this self-explanatory series, fourteen uber-attractive models (male and female) will compete for $100,00 in a contest that will put their minds to the test.
Dumb people attempting to sound intelligent = always funny.

Danny Bonaduce's Child Star

There's something to be said about learning from one's mistakes and passing that knowledge on to a new generation. If there's one thing Bonaduce showed us in his previous reality series, Breaking Bonaduce, it's that Danny only learns how to make his mistakes colossally worse. After all, what more could your emotionally vulnerable, fame-hungry child need than an unstable, substance abusing role model? Nice work VH1, the carnage should be riveting.

Old Skool With Terry and Gita

Playing off the nauseatingly timeless image of the rapping granny, the living half of The Real World creators Bunim/Murray Productions brings you this self-proclaimed "The Golden Girls meets Borat" reality series. Old Skool places two questionably-famous elderly women in a variety of culturally mismatched situations. (Old ladies with gay men! They got totally skooled!)

This show will give ten amateur fashion photographers the opportunity to work with gorgeous supermodels in exotic locations. Why can't they create a series gives bloggers like me the opportunity to work with gorgeous supermodels in exotic locations?

Free Radio

"A half-hour improvised comedy where the worlds of celebrity, mediocrity and talk radio collide." Rush Limbaugh must be involved.

Lords of the Revolution

Lords will profile the "nonconformist heroes" of the 60s and 70s in a sequence of hour-long episodes. Kind of like Behind the Music for Baby Boomers - allowing them to cling to cultural relevance in their favorite way: nostalgia.
