Just when I'd given up on MTV (okay, years after I'd given up on MTV), they reel me back in with the Assistant, a new reality show where 12 MTV'ers compete for an entry level position in Hollywood by trying to the best assistant to Andy Dick. Dick, whom you may remember from the TV show Newsradio, developed and produces the show, and he is hilarious as he eliminates contestants seemingly arbitrarily. During each episode he makes the contestants do whatever he pleases, and he comically gives them hell for everything they do. He also recruited some of his "friends" to help him "clip" contestants, such as a temp agent, his Latin maid, his British butler and his midget friend, John, who is like the high school football coach from short-people's hell, and who is eerily reminiscent of a miniature Andy Vierling for those of you who know him. This show has me so riveted that I'm thinking of having an "assistant" night at my apartment in San Antonio once law school starts, kind of like Joe Schmo night at Tyler's and Sean's place last year. I'm hooked--it's the funniest reality show I've seen to date.
