kc_husker Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 yeah good show some parts were pretty funny. But just seeing Lincoln is cool enough. Love Tommy wering all the husker gear. Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I know we love it, but what do you think the rest of the country thought about Lincoln?? or just the show in general? Quote Link to comment
NamelessHusker Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I think several people who send thier kids to Lincoln for degrees are hoping not to see their sons and daughters geting drunk and wasted on national television. It could be good and bad at the same time. Good because it shows the university is all about academics, but bad because recruits from christian households might think NU is to much of a loose cannon party school. Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Stuntz in the dark about new show  BTW, Tommy never stayed in the dorms at night. They got him an apartment off campus and made it look like a dorm room.  This program is not reality tv, but rather unscripted tv. Quote Link to comment
kramer Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I thought the show goofed more on Tommy than Lincoln. Quote Link to comment
NamelessHusker Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Here are some pictures from the show       Here is an interview with Matt Ellis (Tommy Lee room mate) Link Quote Link to comment

I think parents who honestly think that doesn't happen at most every campus are fooling themselves. It's only going to hurt their pride, not much else. Â If you don't trust your kid to do well, or well enough, in school, then don't send them to college. Quote Link to comment
kramer Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Here are some pictures from the show      Here is an interview with Matt Ellis (Tommy Lee room mate) Link Cool quote:  PR.com: Why do you think the producers chose University of Nebraska at Lincoln over any other college setting in the country?  Matt Ellis: I think it was a place that everybody can relate to, whether you are from New York Texas, or Minnesota or even a very small town in the Midwest. You'll be able to look at Lincoln and think, "Oh I'd feel comfortable there." And, it's a college town. So, anybody whose ever had a college experience is gonna watch this show and be like, "Oh, that was just like when I was in school! I know exactly what Tommy's going through" I guess it was a place with a lot for Tommy to do and it was also obvious that he didn't fit in. Quote Link to comment
KansasHusker Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 When watching it, I happened to notice a guy I know, who my brother roomed with last year...saw him on the english class part of the show, he is on the wrestling team. Quote Link to comment
Huskrz65 Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Get a load of this, VH1 will be airing the show this Friday night also. Of course it's the one we just saw, but more of the younger generation (nation-wide) will be viewing it. Should help with more exposure. I think it is on at 9:30 p.m. CST. Check your local listings Quote Link to comment
Pedro Guerrero Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 I don't think it will have much impact either way. I think it will make an impact, not a huge one, but something. Â Bernard, where did you come from, where have you been???? Â Â Tommy Lee airs tonight Station or time??? He is Eeyore dude. "It will probably rain today anyway." Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 It was rated third for its time slot on Tuesday...5.2 million people viewed it. It'll be interesting to see what next weeks is. It could fall to half that Quote Link to comment
Huskrz65 Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Cool stats, Eric. Pretty cool that it rated that high. The ratings may drop, but maybe not as drastic as what you are predicting. We'll see! Quote Link to comment
