For example, I snoozed through the Kim Kardashian and Kendra Wilkinson parodies, smirked at the “ Pretty Little Liars” parody, chuckled at the “ Mob Wives” parody, and was in a full belly laugh when Stevie’s version of Justin Bieber seduced a soccer mom from his limo and busted out with a pick up line, “Damn! Get a shot of those spanks!” As far as episode 1, to me, it starts out slow but shows “flashes of brilliance,” as one of my old bosses used to say. I applaud the producers for casting a comedic female lead which we do not see often enough in that genre. I’ve previewed the first episode, and while it wasn’t “ Awkward,” “ Portlandia,” or “ Tosh.0” on my funny-ometer, the show has lots of potential.

VH1 and the producers at New Wave Entertainment (“ Are You There, Chelsea?” “ Frankie and Neffe,” “ Despicable Me,” “ Family Guy,” “ Avatar“) are attempting to grab their share of the fruit in the pop culture forest when launching the new sketch comedy series “ Stevie TV” premiering this Sunday, Maat 11:00 PM ET/PT on VH1. The state of pop culture is just a forest full of low hanging fruit for comedians, bloggers, and social media junkies. Snooki’s pregnant, Kim Kardashian married Kris Humphries long enough for a pretty wedding and a season of “ Kourtney & Kim Take New York,” Justin Bieber is fighting baby mama accusations, Jenelle Evans from “ Teen Mom 2” can’t give up weed long enough to make it through her probation, Reed Grimm didn’t make “ American Idol“‘s top 13, Kathie Lee and Hoda Kotb have been driven to drink on morning television, Joe the Plumber is trying to run for Congress, a silent film in black and white is Oscar worthy, and Linsanity lives on. Let’s face it, pop culture has gone off the deep end and we just can’t turn away. ![]()
