Guest NoCalMike Report post Posted July 3, 2003 Ok, there have only been 3 episodes so far, but I'd have to say this is the funniest show I have seen in quite some time. If you aren't aware of it, it comes on Comedy Central. New episodes air on tuesday nights with reruns throughout the week. The format is just some guy who is a huge Gary Busey fan who wants to hang out with him and have Busey teach him "life lessons" It is hard to tell if Busey is really that looney or if he is just playing up to the camera, but quite frankly, I DON'T GIVE A SHIT, because Gary Busey is hilarious. So anyone out there watch this yet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted July 3, 2003 Watched a little bit of it. Doesn't look like a "reality" show really. It's a work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest WrestlingDeacon Report post Posted July 3, 2003 There was a thread awhile back on this show. As I said then, Busey is trying way too hard to be weird and it obviously comes off as a work like YNA says. I missed this past week's show, but the first two were amusing if not a little rambling.

Guest two_tuff_toddy Report post Posted July 3, 2003 It may be a work but it's still funny as shit. I have only gotten to see the 1st episode so far but it was fucking great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted July 3, 2003 Personally I think it's alittle of both. I believe he is looney to a degree, but is also playing it up. He's too fucking crazy to be totally faking it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dangerous A Report post Posted July 3, 2003 Satanico has his hand on the pulse of this show. Busey knows there's a camera right fucking there and is playing it up for all it's worth. It's just like most of these "reality" tv shows. They aren't that real. The only way to have a true reality show is to Truman show it where the people being filmed don't know they are being filmed. When people have a camera in front of them, you might see the real them to a point, but that person knows there's a camera there and so they might react to a situation based on the camera being there and not how they'd act if it were just them standing there doing whatever it is they are doing and dealing with it. Bottom line: "reality" tv isn't very real, but "I'm with Busey" is funny as shit, worked or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest kingkamala Report post Posted July 3, 2003 I don't care if it's worked or not (Which I think it falls somewhere in between). It's still one of the funniest shows I've seen in a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest kkktookmybabyaway Report post Posted July 3, 2003 I saw the show where Busey was banging on some drum -- it did nothing for me. But if it attracts and holds an audience, more power to Comedy Central... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree the fact that busey is messed up is great but the fact that the dude he is with is such a herbb makes it even better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Slingshot Suplex Report post Posted July 3, 2003 It just seems like it's being weird for the sake of being weird........like Tom Green. But also also like Green,it does have it's funny moments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
