The T.O. Show News

Note to Terrell Owens: Just shut up and go play football.

The controversial wide receiver has been suffering from an injured toe for most of the preseason. He makes his Buffalo Bills debut Monday night against the Patriots.

Still, the future NFL Hall of Famer will somehow find time to film another season of The T.O. Show, as VH1 has picked up this horrendous excuse for a reality program.

The network press release, announcing this decision, reads:

Hot on the heels of wrapping up his first season of The T.O. Show, VH1 has picked up Terrell Owens‘ option for a second go-around of his hit series.  It seems Terrell will have a successful career off the football field too as the The T.O. Show has been a ratings hit for VH1 with an average of over 1.5 million viewers per episode.

Kita Williams and Monique Jackson, Terrell’s two best friends as well as his marketing and publicity team, are also returning to the series.  In addition to molding Terrell’s image off the field they are also a formidable duo in his personal life that do their best to guide him in his personal life with sound sisterly advice.

“Terrell has been a great asset to the VH1 team and we’re thrilled to have him back for another season,” stated Jeff Olde, EVP Original Programming and Production, VH1.  “He is a compelling figure to watch both on and off the field and we hope to continue to watch his life evolve beyond football for many seasons to come.”

We weren't gonna tune in for The T.O. Show before.

For whatever reason, a self-absorbed NFL star that bashes his quarterbacks and complains about his on-field use simply didn't appeal to our viewing taste.

But now that Terrell Owens has gone naked in a promotional photo for his VH1 show, we might not be able to resist. Owens is no Megan Hauserman, whose own series is also set to debut over the next few weeks, but the wide receiver is clearly in fine shape.

His muscles are almost as large as his ego...

We were hoping this was just a silly rumor.

But, sadly, it's true: Terrell Owens really is coming to reality TV.

The self-centered Buffalo Bills wide receiver has landed a series on VH1 titled The T.O. Show. It's a good thing, too: Owens really doesn't receive enough air time on SportsCenter.

The T.O. Show premieres on July 20. Watch a preview for it after this article's jump.

Because Terrell Owens didn't receive nearly enough attention for a past-his-prime wide receiver this season, the cantankerous, self-serving Dallas Cowboy will star in his own reality show this summer.

We have VH1 to thank for that.

Here's the official press release from the network, hyping The Terrell Owens Project:

In the series, T.O. will be shadowed in the off-season by his best friends and publicists Monique Jackson and Kita Williams as they battle the two sides of his large personality. 

Viewers will discover that behind all the braggadocio, emotional histrionics, and sculpted physique that is the outspoken media magnet known to the world as “T.O.” — there is also a quiet, sensitive, mild-mannered guy from Alexander City, Alabama…that’s Terrell.

It's about time Terrell Owens received some attention. We can only hope Pacman Jones and Michael Vick are the next football stars to receive their own reality shows.

“We are thrilled to bring such a great athlete, who is one of the biggest names and personalities in all the world of sports to VH1 for a surprising high octane look inside his superstar life off the field,” said Jeff Olde, EVP Original Programming & Production.
