Zack Pearlman's new MTV show, 'The Inbetweeners,' earns mixed early reviews

By Jenn McKee

Joey Pollari, Bubba Lewis, Zack Pearlman and Mark L. Young star in "The Inbetweeners."

Pioneer High grad Zack Pearlman's new MTV show, "The Inbetweeners," based on a hit British series of the same name, premieres Monday, August 20 at 10:30 p.m., and thus far, the reviews on the comedy are mixed.

Variety and Newday both shine a positive light on "Inbetweeners"; a critical, but hopeful, review appears on The Boston Globe; and writers for SFGate.com and The Hollywood Reporter consider the new series an unworthy retread.

I'd say anything on MTV is "unworthy"....Like 16 and Pregnant...gimme a break! What happened to just showing music videos? Guess you gotta go to M2 for that..

I certainly respect your right to have any opinion of an MTV show. But I would think it equally appropriate to give Zack Pearlman some kudos for working to achieve his goal! Good job Zack!
