Worst: "H8R"
(The CW)
This Mario Lopez-hosted reality series had a simple concept: "Celebrities"
like Scott Disick have the opportunity to confront
people who post mean things about them on the Internet. But the idea missed the
mark, especially because it featured primarily ... morereality stars, people famous for
being caricatures. Snooki from "Jersey
Shore," for example, cultivated her own persona, one that is heavy with
drinking, fighting and hooking up, and one which she shouldn't be surprised
might offend. Giving Internet trolls any kind of real power is exactly the
opposite of the point. Besides, is there really an expectation of humanity on
the Internet, a medium fueled by its perceived anonymity? Thankfully, the CW had
the decency to cancel the series after just four episodes, which means we won't
soon have to see Jake Pavelka from "The
Bachelor" showcasing his improvisational skills again -- at least not until
CBS decides to air a celebrity version of "Candid
Camera" or something. (Dave Lake)
