Emmanuel "Webster" Lewis returns to TV Thursday night, and he's bringing MC Hammer and Gabrielle Carteris with him.
The reality show is called "The Surreal Life," and it's just the latest in a long line of great WB network programming that includes the Emmy Award-winning "Seinfeld" (reruns), "Frasier" (reruns) and "Cheers" (reruns).
Other members of the cast include former Motley Crue singer Vince Neill, former child actor Corey Feldman, former "Baywatch" actress Brande Roderick and former "Survivor II" cast member Jerri Manthey all perfectly willing to sacrifice shame for a reunion with their former bank accounts.
So, what should we expect, aside from as much cringing as I did watching five minutes of "The Growing Pains Movie?" In a recent L.A. Times article about the show, Feldman hinted at something akin to "Masterpiece Theater," saying, "I will honestly be very upset if [the show] has the appearance of making fun of any of us."
And I will be upset if Milli Vanilli doesn't perform at the housewarming party.
