Skins Comes to America – MTV gets less music related

At the beginning of the summer, I was obsessed with this show! This morning, I just found out that MTV has bought rights to the popular UK Show.

I thought they would do it Degrassi style meaning they have a time slot on MTV where they show old original Degrassi episodes. Instead the network would like to do it up like “The Office,” by recreating the entire show to emulate the original series. New cast, new writers, no English accent.. on MTV.

If you haven’t seen the show, it’s like a more racy Degrassi. More sex and more drinking but the channel 4 series keeps it tame by saying it’s about teenagers trying to find “love and happiness.” Whatever helps you sleep at night right?
