2gether: The Series

2Gether is one heck of a show. Funny and great. I was a big fan of the movie, and the tv show is even better. It's filled with the usual 2Gether humor, the dorkiness of QT, the goofiness of Chad, the hilarity of Doug (who proves that he is funny...and not just "Chris Farley's brother") and the outrageousness of Micky. Jerry is the leader, funny and cool. 2Gether has already garnered a spot (number 7) on my all time favorite shows. It's about girls...and, stuff and the humor is a little of the same. (Miscommunication, girls, onstage) but it's still great. Take it for what it is, and enjoy the 4th greatest thirty minutes (behind Simpsons, South Park, and Family Guy) of the week. 8/10

When I first heard about 2gether, I said "Oh Great, another boy band, like we don't already have enough!" But once a friend of mine just told me to sit down and watch it I fell out of my chair laughing! I jumped up, went to Tower Records and bought both CD's, the movie on DVD, and the Official 2gether Scrapbook! They are now my favorite group ever. I would wait all week anticipating 2gether on Monday night, but now the youngest member Michael Cuccione (AKA "QT") died just 8 days after his 16th birthday! MTV has since cancelled the series and petitions have been all over the internet to bring 2gether back collecting 8,000+ signatures! This show has no old jokes and is the funniest show out there! Everyone who loves 2gether sign the "Save 2gether Petition".

This show was all right but it also wasn't great to be honest. Some kind of amateur acting and the writing wasn't exactly to die for. Some pretty stupid stories and bad jokes that everyone could see coming a million miles away. Still much much MUCH better than most other shows on this pointless channel.

If this were a Saturday Night Live "David Spade Hollywood Minute," Spade's commentary would go a little like this: "I just saw the show '2gether' on Tuesday. I really enjoyed it the first time I saw it...when it was called 'The Monkees.'"

All jokes aside, this show does remind me of the Monkees in it's basic premise: a bunch of spunky young lads who don't play instruments get into wacky and comedic situations over the course of a half-hour, somehow also managing to fit in a musical number.

And also like the Monkees, they do their own singing. They've released albums. They've appeared on TV in character.

In the movie, we learned that there are five types of guy in every boy band: the shy one (Chad), the heartthrob (Jerry), the bad boy (Mickey), the cute one (Q.T.), and the big brother (Doug). In the show, we get to watch them take these roles to extremes. And they do it so well. This show even makes fun of itself, as in one episode we see the guys watching a show on MTV about a fake boy band and bashing the c**p out of it. And it's all very funny. Definitely a great show.

It's so sad that Michael Cuccione died, he was the second best one in the band (behind Chad of course). They're both such dorks!! In a good way, of course. The whole group just kinda disappeared after QT died. I love their music, the lyrics are hilarious. I liked how the show focused more on the guys than did the movie instead of talking about Bob Buss or whoever all the time. If anyone has tapes of the show, e-mail me; I may be willing to buy copies...
