MTV Launches Sex Talk Show, We Relive Our Awkward Youth

Posted by Emily Farris

First New Kids on the Block re-formed, then Beverly Hills 90210 came back with a little less than a bang and now this dude is going to have a talk show on MTV about sex? Will Zack Morris step out of my dreams and into my car already?

MTV will premiere a sex-themed series featuring relationships expert Dr. Drew Pinsky on September 29.

In each half-hour episode of "Sex ... With Mom and Dad," the father of 15-year-old triplets will help a teen and his or her parents work through their problems discussing sex, dating and relationships. MTV has ordered 20 episodes.

Meh. That title freaks us out. Plus, we'd rather watch re-runs of Love Line, but considering we have neither cable or a car (both of which we had in the 90's) we won't be seeing much of Dr. Drew or Zack Morris any time soon.

Eh, Dr. Drew lost all his cred in my eyes when I saw him tell porn star Sasha Grey that she would end up in diapers from anal sex. What a judgmental, hating, moron...

This is a US remake of a show that's been running (with a different expert) on the BBC for several years. It's not as exploitative as it sounds although it is as cringe inducing.
