Is RENT the new show to satirize on TV?

not TV, but Team American: World Police. :) heheheh. I guess it's just one everyone has heard of that is easy to make fun of.

Next we'll see it on Hanna Montanna. (I only know this show due to my sister and cousins when babysitting)

Mark = Her guy friend
Roger = Billy Ray
Mimi = Hanna (that'd be hillarious. Vice versa of Aliens)
Maureen = Her friend Lisa or somthing
Collins - ?
Angel - Her brother
Joanna - ?

I love how you have to explain how you know the show...

Sounds to me like we have a huge Hanna Montana fan on the board.

They made references to RENT on Friends and Will & Grace years ago.

ok, but considering the subject matter of Will & Grace how could you not have at least 1 Rent reference within their fantastic 8 season run?

Uh, no. I don't know half of thier names.

I know Hanna because, well my sister. I know Billy Ray from Dancing With The Stars.

Ugh, can't believe I downloaded that. All of the first 2 minutes had anything to do with Rent. As a physics major who's not a nerd, I can't stand that show. It perpetuates the stereotype of all science people.

[every joke] Come on, man. That theory has more holes than cold fusion proposals. [/every joke]

Best I've seen so far was Family Guy.

"I thought you wanted to do a good show. If you wanted to do a bad show, why didn't you just do Rent?"

(Can't not mention my other favorite "YOU'RE THE WORST THING TO HAPPEN TO MUSICAL THEATER SINCE ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER!")

I love The Big Bang Theory, so I found the episode hilarious. Though I was bothered that they'd cast a blonde white girl as Mimi, but then my sister pointed out it was just a workshop (or something like that).
