any person know when it or if it will be on uk MTV?
Got rid of sky digital sub a long while ago,but will make the effort to watch it at sisters' if it is shown here.


It shouldnt be a surprise that its stereotyping the different autism types as mtv is a trashy tabloid type channel, like the sun newspaper but with more nudity,mtv are about the entertainment first,and educating last.

mtv.co.uk says True Life doesn't air in England. Thanks for checking there first.

Now to get a little personal:

I know personally about Viacom. They're not about agenda. They are, however, about getting behind just about any cause they know is out there. AIDS, Darfur, breast cancer...you name it, they're raising awareness (and money) for it. 'Fact, in October, if you remember, Comedy Central aired the Night Of Too Many Stars to raise money to help raise money for autism. Comedy Central, of course, is a Viacom channel...just like MTV. Or Nickelodeon.

Now back to the show:

I came in late on it, but liked it. I was actually kinda touched when all the kids came to Jeremy's party. It was nice to see how each of the three kids differed...kinda covered a nice, broad spectrum. Broad enough? Maybe not. But for what it was, and bearing its intended audience in mind, I think the show was decently done. A nice slice of each life.
