Does anyone know when this starts? My Tivo still can't find it on the schedule but I thought it was supposed to air in July.

NBC lists the premiere date as Tuesday August 16th. I didn't see the time listed, though.

Too bad I won't be in Nebraska when it airs - I was there when it was filmed and the public there was not happy about it at all.

Maybe if there is nothing else on, and I mean no Law & Order reruns, no West Wing reruns, nothing on the Food Network, no Big Brother, no Rock Star, nothing interesting on MSNBC, CNN, Faux, Bravo, Hallmark, TBS, TV Land, Animal Planet, HGTV, History, A&E, FX, USA, Telemundo, I might watch it. Unless there is a good E! True Hollywood Story. Or I need a nap.

We have a friend who worked sound on the show and he said it was actually pretty funny! Of course, he didn't see the end result, so don't hold your breath! <don't think my channel guide will find this one! >

I am interested to see how the UN Campus gets portrayed so I have to say I'll tune in for a show or 2. I have to wonder if they'll show any of the protestors or posters, etc that were on contest because of the show. Now those were funny.

Yep, tonight on NBC opposite BB. Evidently it's a half hour show. My TiVo lists it at 8:00 and 8:30 (Central).

I'm thinking with the current state of affairs on BB, I will watch Tommy and maybe get a good laugh instead!

I thought it was entertaining. I lol at some parts. The hot tutor stuff was mildly funny and the professors were funny too. I was surprised at the humor throughout the show. I wonder how badly Tommy needs the $$$$ or if he needs the attention more? I'll watch it again. I didn't realize how handsome Tommy is.

i think this show is hysterical. my daughter is going to college on friday (not Nebraska lol) and she's going to my alma mater (Miami in Ohio), and i was dying for her to watch this instead of BB. of course, she wanted to watch that. She was in her high school marching band, and decided against Miami's--after seeing last night, i'm glad she did that . Maimi, i agree with you--BB seems really dark to me right now, i don't like it at all. Seems like a cult thing is going on there. This is definitely worth watching, just to laugh and not think about the cult going on at the BB house .

I really enjoyed the show....especially Tommy struggling with the UNL drumline. I want to see more footage of the music department, as I have several friends who teach there, but not on the marching band staff. Our marching band is back for bootcamp this week. I have also realized that I teach better than those profs, but they may have been edited to seem "boring". This dude has NO business in college, whatsoever! LOL! Hope the slackers here don't use him as a rolemodel. I'll watch it again on VH1 and next week. I was switching back and forth between this and BB, and spent most of my time on Tommy Lee. Shelb...you have to realize that not all college marching bands are as INTENSE as Nebraska's (it's a Big 10 thing). Ours is intense, but they practice in the late afternoon/evening four days a week.

I thought the show was great fun. It was over the top cheesy - but was specifically produced that way. I too liked watching Tommy on the drumline. He really got angry with himself for not catching on sooner. I give him kudos for getting up that early. By the way, WHY would they put him in chemistry? It's obvious how lost he is in that class. I guess it's because it left room for the "hot tutor" to enter the picture. LOL. I head back to class Sep. 6. The show made me look forward to going back.

I think that "cheesy" is the perfect word for it but I have to say that hanging with Tommy would probably be a lot of fun.

I think it would be fun too Mamie. Tommy's roomate must have felt like he hit the jackpot for a semester! That was a pretty pimped out dorm room!

He sure did hit the jackpot! That was the coolest dorm room, I think, in the history of dorm rooms.

Crap! I missed it! If shows aren't listed in the Reality TV Times on this board I usually do miss them. I think the listings need to be updated. Oh, Halfnuti!!! LOL

Someone on NY1 (a local cable channel) was talking about this show and how it is the most scripted "reality" show. There is a disclaimer at the end of the show that states: (I'm going from memory here so I may not be exact - but look for it next time you watch the show) - Tommy Lee is NOT enrolled in the college. - Some scenes were not filmed on campus and were produced somewhere else. - Some scenes were filmed for comedic effect Then they showed a clip of the hot tutor and how they had an industrial fan blowing her hair back and she looked into the camera. And how everytime homework was mentioned, Tommy would have a dumbfounded look and they would play a stupid sound effect.

Awwww....I loved it. Don't care if it was scripted or not. I think it gives a nice look into college life (like that goofball teacher and Tommy fighting to stay awake!)

well, i guess i'm not totally disillusioned, but it was so funny. the bookstore scene was great. funny thing--i know someone who is going to USC and they don't even have to try out for marching band. she plays sax, so she would have made it anyway, but if someone wants to be in the band, they teach them how to play! who knew??

I peeked in on Tommy Lee to get away from the BB drama. I watched it and flipped back to BB everynow and then. And yes... who knew Tommy Leed could look so handsome.

I don't care if it was scripted or not. I didn't think it was very realistic while I was watching it but it was some fun escapism. Especially from the drama that is BB now!

Mamie - "Escapism" is the perfect word! That is how I view most of my TV viewing! The show was SO obviously scripted that that is what made it funny to watch. The scene where Tommy saw his hot Pamela wanna-be tutor for the first time was so cheesy it was hilarious!
