Usually I cannot watch these crappy celebrity reality shows, but I have to admit that I am quite intrigued with this one as I was a HUGE Corey's fan growing up.

I missed the first episode, but I have my tivo set to record again.

Re: The Two Corey's on A&E
I wonder why this is the first time the Coreys have attempted television. (Or maybe they have auditioned for TV shows but were rejected?)
Feldman, as opposed to Haim, hasn't changed much physically. Both have their unique personalities and, frankly, I think either of them could have worked well in an ensemble cast.
I haven't caught this yet, but I will catch it eventually.

Re: The Two Corey's on A&E
Apparently, Haim is trying to sell his art online, but he hasn't been that successful at it.
Feldman had a music career (if you can call it that) for a while, but it fizzled out and he has been doing B films and reality tv since.

Re: The Two Corey's on A&E
I always figured Haim would be excellent as the annoying, inconsiderate neighbor next door "character" (I don't think he would have to act very much to be convincing). I'm surprised that the option wasn't presented in all the years Haim has been out of work.

Re: The Two Corey's on A&E
I have reached that point in my life where I critically weigh how I am going to waste my remaining time.
This show did not pass the test.

Re: The Two Corey's on A&E
Correct me if I'm wrong, but a celebrity is a celebrity - why resort to selling teeth or hair when you can simply do a drawing and sell it for big bucks? Could be a simple comic strip, and someone on Ebay would say, "hey! I can own Corey Haim's little comic strip!" Wouldn't that be worth something?
Heck, Haim could even record his voice or videotape himself doing goofy things. Surely that kind of stuff, if you were once famous, could bring in as much as...say...$500.00?!

Re: The Two Corey's on A&E
I caught a few episodes last night. The only comment I have is that Haim is so completely un-likable that I don't know how Feldman and Leech can put up with him for weeks.
The only good thing I can say about Haim is that he is right about Leech (Feldman's Wife). She should not be trying to be one of the stars. She was really getting on my nerves. I am not really sure why she comes across as being such a witch with a "b". I am sure it was just the way it was edited/written. But like she said, first impressions are very important. Hers was not so good for me.

Re: The Two Corey's on A&E
I caught the two episodes last night and I was really bored. My biggest pet peeve about shows like this, is that they show the same scenes over and over. Why do reality shows do that. They end a scene and then come back from break showing the same scene again.
Honeslty, I thought the show was just dumb and not very interesting at all.

Re: The Two Corey's on A&E
Same as most of you, I'm not too crazy about these so called reality shows but I really liked the Coreys growing up in the 80's, being almost the same age (I'm a couple of years younger than they are) so I'm giving this one a try.
Who knew Feldman would turn out to be the responsible guy he seems to be now and a neat-freak as well. I expected Haim to be annoying so I wasn't surprised to see that he really is that way.
The one episode with the 20th Anniversary of The Lost Boys (TLB) was interesting. I felt really, really bad about Haim because he saw TLB sequel as his comeback and when Feldman told him that Warner Bros was doing a sequel without them and Haim broke down and started crying, that really got to me for some reason. I mean, I understand that most of what happened in life to him is his own fault but I also believe in second chances and he should be entitled to have one. I'm not sure if it'll happen though.
What do you guys think?

Re: The Two Corey's on A&E
I have to say it again. Haim is a meat wad. In last night's episodes, he was even more of a jerk than usual.
Feldman should get an award for putting up with this guy and actually trying to help him.
I can't feel any sympathy for Haim at all. He can't even count past 2. He is a slob and has no respect for others property or space. The only reason I am watching now is the slim hope he will go over the edge again. Wouldn't want to miss that train wreck.
The poor, cute, British girl (Joe) shouldn't even be in the same room with the likes of him.

Re: The Two Corey's on A&E
So did you guys watch the meltdown during the last episode? It was actually pretty good.
"Don't call my wife a f...ing bitch!!!"
"You really wanna do this? I will knock you out kid!"
Do you guys think that kitchen "fight" was scripted?

Re: The Two Corey's on A&E
I think the show is terrible because it is way too scripted (it's shot in Canada... it's not even their own house!) but as a Coreys fan I watch it anyway.

Re: The Two Corey's on A&E
Looking at the house Feldman lives in, I wouldn't think he could afford it. Nice to know its a "set location." Confirms my suspicions that The Coreys are broke.

Re: The Two Corey's on A&E
Oh really? I did not know that. Here I thought Feldman was doing really well with his residuals. I mean, how many people are still buying "Stand By Me", "The Lost Boys" and the couple of "Friday The 13th" he was in?
Wow, so this show is REALLY scripted then.

Re: The Two Corey's on A&E
They wish they received continued residuals from their hit films; alas, that is not the case, which is why they're so bad off.
If they did receive residuals, there never would have been a problem. No, the producers I think get all the residuals.

Re: The Two Corey's on A&E
Are residuals for actors a recent concept not used back then when those guys were red hot?
I thought every actor got some sort of residual deal, however minimal it is.

Re: The Two Corey's on A&E
I'm watching the show now on A&E On Demand, and it isn't terrible. The wife, despite her bodacious set of ta-ta's, is a drag on the Corey's good time.
I read somewhere that the two Coreys aren't speaking to one another, now that the 1st season is wrapped up. Does this mean there will be no 2nd Season? Does anyone know if the show will continue?
