It is interesting to note the impact the word “Cougar” has had on pop-culture. From the hit television series “Cougar Town” to the hilarious “Cougars” on MTV’s True Life. The meaning behind “Cougar” has changed dramatically from being merely animal species, to a new meaning that many young men are either rejoicing or hiding.
Not only has the concept behind the word “Cougars” have changed but so has teen pregnancy. MTV’s Sixteen and Pregnant changed the world, and opened the eyes of millions of viewers to the large amount of drama that is filled with unplanned pregnancies.
But nothing tops Honey Boo Boo. Almost as if biology has merged with television programming and infected millions of viewers everywhere with the hilarity, comedy and drama of TLC’s “Honey Boo Boo”. Recently, The Hollywood Reporter pointed out that, ” Alana, age 6, apparently will say anything. Like, “A dollar make me wanna holler.” She’s all about money. And pageants. And winning. Oh, and drinking her “go-go juice” before each pageant, which is a mixture of Red Bull and Mountain Dew. It winds up the pudgy little girl, and she goes onstage to dance and prance and make faces that the judges truly seem to love. (THR)”
TLC has had thier fair share of new programming including “Breaking Amish” and “Preacher Ladies”. Now TLC is on the prowl for more fabolous, eccentric, and even just down right interesting for their new 2013-2014 programming.
So, if you have ever wanted or wished to be the next “Kate Plus Eight” or your an attractive older woman who just can not get enough of younger men, check out this casting calls.
