I dunno, I always kind of liked Pauly Shore's act.

Pauly Shore Getting Real with TBS Series
Sunday February 20 1:05 PM ET


Pauly Shore, the critically reviled comedian whose wacky stoner persona brought him a degree of fame in the 1990s, may be getting the last laugh.

TBS has ordered 10 half-hour episodes of a reality show that follows the star of "Encino Man" and other dubious classics as he attempts to revive the Comedy Store, a Los Angeles club founded by his mother, as well as his own career.

Production already is under way on the project, which is tentatively titled "Minding the Store." No airdate has been scheduled.

In "Store," club owner Mitzi Shore allows her 37-year-old son to take control of the Comedy Store. As Shore gets to grips with running a family business his mother can't quite let go of, he also must deal with her disapproval of his dating habits -- long a subject of tabloid fodder. All the while, Shore tries to regain his footing as an actor -- even prodding his agent to get him dramatic roles.

Shore, who first came to popularity on MTV as the host of "Totally Pauly" for five years, earned short-lived endearment among teenagers with such films as "Encino Man," "Jury Duty," "Bio-Dome." But after a short-lived sitcom on Fox in 1997, Shore virtually disappeared. He satirized his struggles in a recent self-financed DVD mockumentary, "Pauly Shore Is Dead."

Founded by Mitzi and Sammy Shore in 1972, the Comedy Store has been the subject of a cable program before at Time Warner, TBS' parent company. HBO used the club as the venue for its "Young Comedians" franchise during the 1980s.

TRIBAL DANCE!~

[Farrah Whitworth-Rahn]

Oh good grief. This is a joke, right?

[DeToxRox]

C'mon budddddyyyyyy, don't hate.

[Lathum]

What sort of dating habits does he have?

[rkmsuf]

What sort of dating habits does he have?

He's quite the tomcat. His list is seriously very impressive.

[sachmo71]

No wheezing the juice.

[oliegirl]

Makes me want to go munch on some grindage!

Seriously, I love Encino Man and Son-In-Law as much as the next 30-something who went through the teen years with Pauly...but a reality show with him is something even I wouldn't watch! Well...I might watch the first episode just to torture radii :)

[Lathum]

I think it actually sounds like an interesting concept

[Desnudo]

He's quite the tomcat. His list is seriously very impressive.

Would you please provide said list?

[Pyser]

he basically lives at the playboy mansion. so pick about 20 playmates to start with.

i actually think this isnt a bad idea for a show. he has a good sense of humor about his place in hollywood. its not like he thinks he is a star.

[NoMyths]

No weezing the juice!

[Pyser]

im very interested by the "no weezing the juice" responses, because it isnt actually pauly who says it. its the 7-11 worker...

[Bad-example]

Pauly Shore is vice president of the Fuckin' Lucky Club for becoming famous while possessing absolutely no talent.

He couldn't quite beat out Steve Guttenberg for presidential honors.

[HomerJSimpson]

I'm Tivoing this one. It actually does sound interesting.

[sachmo71]

True, but the 7-11 guy was funnier than Pauly, who said it first.

[Flasch186]

he is a really nice guy and its a shame that he couldnt shake the weasel thing and move forward in his acting career because I think that he is a better actor than a lot of the "made" people in LA.

I disagree with the sentiment above...He is a better actor than ALOT of the actors in LA.

[NoMyths]

Live by the weasel, die by the weasel.

[panerd]

Would you please provide said list?

I remember reading that this month's playmate of the month (local girl) was "dating" Pauly Shore. From what I can gather he has been dating a lot of playmates. Personally I can't stand the guys work, but on the other hand he seems to be having a lot better luck than I am.

dude, he was never a real actor. he was the same character in every movie. he never not played a stoner.

anyway he wasn't ever a real actor, he was jsut some real popular MTV VJ who capitalized on his cable tv fame and though that meant everyone really liked him. his window has closed. that's like saying outside of MTV people actually care about Carson Daly.

well, IMO, acting CAN be playing the same role over and over....IE. Dirty Harrry, Ace Ventura, Most TV shows....

the point is that he was unable to get a role outside of his "act".....He did his "act" exceedingly well. All of those movies that he were in were way better than a lot of the same genre flicks that came out around that time.

[Anthony]

yeah, like Clueless or Mallrats.

[Leonidas]

I suppose if the American public willingly support Ashlee Simpson or the Flava Flav-Bridgitte Nielson love fest then we deserve to have a day in the life of a washed up weasel foisted upon us.

[Flasch186]

yeah, like Clueless or Mallrats.

Clueless was good as a Jane Austin reference redone to be up to date, as a matter of fact, it might be the best one of those.

Mallrats = awful.

c'mon, i'm not a Kevin Smith fan but even i know his movies helped define the 90's.

Swingers is another good example as one of the best to come out of the 90's. that movie is all 90's. and don't forget Singles, although it does seem rather dated by this point. Shore's movies are all brain cell killers.

Considering his parents ran a comedy club, I'm guessing the VJ thing was an act and his way of making it in the comedy scene without spending 15 years playing dives in small towns across the country. I don't love the guy, but I liked Son-in-Law and my 5 year old seems to like the stoner dude he plays in the Goofy movies.

It's his shtick. You live by it and you die by it.

That's about the gayest thing anybody's ever said around here. You're gonna get yourself typecast there, underpants-boy.

[gottimd]

Pauly Shore is the Bobcat Goldthwait of the 90's.

[Flasch186]

That's about the gayest thing anybody's ever said around here. You're gonna get yourself typecast there, underpants-boy.

Im open minded...

Clueless was good.

[Julio Riddols]

I'm gonna watch. I think Bobcat and Pauly should do a series of cop movies together.

[Klinglerware]

That's about the gayest thing anybody's ever said around here. You're gonna get yourself typecast there, underpants-boy.

But that's what Clueless was. There was a bunch of those "remake a literary work and contemporize it so the kids don't realize it" type movies in the late 90s...

[Pyser]

just like 10 things i hate about you.

[Pyser]

dola, i heard romeo and juliet was based on some book, too.
