Skins - British TV

[Maynard]

anyone watch this show? i caught parts of the 1st show but didnt know what it was and ended up turning it off. But what i did see was pretty dam funny and also kind of WTF for a teen mtv show.

but since then i see on TMZ how all these sponsors are pulling out of the show for what i assume is the previously mentioned WTF crap they do on the show. Last time a show had that much BS surrounding it was jersey shore and that show cracks me up.

just wondering if anyone is watching the show and if its another lame teen drama show on mtv?

I watched the first episode and that was all I needed to see. Lol losing a quarter pound of weed.

If you like jailbait sex, rampant drug use, the act of grand theft auto, "emotional angst," and watered-down American television remakes...

THIS IS THE SHOW FOR YOU.

No they aren't. That's the issue here.

A good friend works in production at MTV and they're seriously worried about getting the plug pulled on it. With advertisers backing out this week, those worries look to be coming true very quickly.

Skins on E4 > Skins on MTV.

I saw about half of the first episode of the MTV version, and it's essentially a transcribed version of the one that aired in the UK. Except the UK version also has tits, ass, and swearing.

If you have Netflix, they have the first three seasons (UK series) available on Watch Instantly.

driving with two buddies in jacksonville beach we came up on a station wagon that had a white bag on top of it while the vehicle was in motion. It took a left and the bag fell off into the street. My buddy driving parked in the median and got out screaming "I THINK IT'S WEED!". He then threw two bags of weed on top of our laps. It was two pounds of regs. Needless to say we got high for the next month.

I lasted 10 minutes of the first episode. Acting was shit, writing was shit, and the characters are all cunts.

the 5th season of the Briton version started today... i got lucky and caught it live (someone streamed it on veetle)... but yea, i dont even have to watch the American version to know that it cant begin to compete with the original...

show is horrible.

 

[dave]

A show about self-involved teens who use drugs.
I could just watch the skateboarders down the street if I want to see that.

Sidenote: I thought the first season of the British Skins series was actually pretty good. No way a show like that could make it in prudish America.

Was going to post this. The English (England) version is so much better. And the preview for the next one is EXACTLY like it the actual episode was in the English version.

Plus there are teacher tits.

Fuck this. If you watch the MTV one, I will kill you. Skins UK so much greater.

Fuck! How bad is the American version then?

The British version is as bad as forcing the pocket battleship Admiral Graf Spee, smeared with naga jolokia peppers down your foreskin while listening to Abba.

The American one must be like forcing a Death Star made of pure capsicum down your jap's eye while listening to Black Eyed Peas.
