I’ve found a new show that is interesting and entertaining to watch on VH1, “The T.O. Show.”
It follows Terrell Owens around this past offseason as he was cut from the Dallas Cowboys and then was signed to a 1 year contract with the Buffalo Bills (brrr!) in the next 48 hours.
The season premier was an hour long and starts off with T.O. watching ESPN deliver the news that he had been cut. If any of you have ever been fired / let-go / downsized from a company, then you know exactly how he felt. It just is much worse since the whole world knew about his loss of employment.
They introduce his bodyguard and buddy, Pablo. I think Terrell could kick the crap out of him though. T.O. is ripped.
The show then also introduces his publicity team, comprised of Mo and Kita. This is what I don’t understand: what do they do for him? They are in reality just a support network of old buddies who probably gets paid by Terrell because he can drop $137,000 on diamond earrings without hesitation (as he does on Rodeo Dr later in the show).
Mo and Kita convince Terrell to go to L.A. to “get focused.” I have no idea what this means. I would think a good publicity team would have arranged some meetings with potential sponsors, media outlets, and setup some interviews to help build T.O.’s public image. Instead, this duo has decided to rent him a house in the hills who is shown by a little Asian agent who T.O. hooks up with later in the week.
They are like two nagging flies in your ear who keep telling you to “get focused.” T.O. often responds, “I am focused! Focus on what?”
I hope they have more credibility than is seen here, but we shall see.

Just watched the premiere of The TO Show last night, and I actually thought it was a pretty funny look into everyone’s favorite narcissist. It’s like an accident that you know you shouldn’t look at, but you can’t turn away from.
There’s a preview clip and a review posted at : http://displacedbrett.wordpress.com/2009/07/21/the-t-o-show/
Definitely worth watching, even if it was obviously scripted…just too much comedy gold. And surprisingly enough, they actually had some good music, like Tokyo Police Club’s “Graves” – and here I thought that VH1 and MTV totally dropped music from their channels.
I just noticed on a replay of the ESPY Awards that TO is flanked by his "publicity" team in the front row. They are getting such a free ride for just knowing TO and not working at all for him!
