"Taking the Stage" on MTV- Anyone watch it?

Okay- since I was a big fan of Fame since the original movie, I have always been a fan of these types of shows. However, I thought this one was horrible. It's produced by Nick Lachey. The opener talks about how famous people attended this high school of performing arts in Cincinatti- yet it could only name 2- Nick and Sarah Jessica Parker! I thought a lot of the show seemed like such a setup- like the kids knew where the cameras were. Then they had this talent show at the school and one of the judges was a Jive record producer? It just wasn't very real. The girl, Mia, was pretty talented though.

I actually stuck a note on my computer to remember to watch it. As more commercials were shown, I was getting a bit less excited. I didn't see it but will try to catch a re-run if there is one this weekend. Something told me that it may not be that good.

I recorded it on my DVR. I was really looking forwarded to this show thought it would something similar to what CapnHook decribed. I watched the first segment and then deleted it. It was dreadful!

I agree with what everyone said about this. I was looking forward to it, but It just came across as forced and scripted. I don't even know if I can watch it again!

Oh, come on! You guys are no fun... I embrace the cheese.

I haven't gotten to see it, but the first episode was followed by my entire facebook status feed consisting of my HS friends saying that this school was a total rip-off of LaGuardia.

^ my thoughts exactly! I caught a re-run of the first episode today during a break from class and it was just awful! It was even more obviously scripted than the Hills is, and though it is interesting to see a performing arts high school, it's just too fake to even be enjoyable. Laaaaaame.
