As we are now deep in the Fall, it feels like Christmas to TV fans. All of our favorite shows have returned for all-new seasons, while new ones are popping up all over the place on broadcast, cable and online. And as you would suspect by my social interactions, I am most excited about season two of Are You The One?, which has joined The Real World and The Challenge as my favorite MTV shows. Through the first four episodes, I've already gotten behind Team 21 in Puerto Rico with aspirations of winning $1 million and landing true love, just as the season 1 cast did earlier this year when they accomplished that goal and saw the only remaining couple get married and having a baby.
But, as I've written so many times, I don't limit my MTV viewing to just that trifecta or the VMA's. Thanks in large part to the fan friendly nature of social media and me having a broad knowledge of the MTV world as someone who's watched the channel loyally for 16 years, I've followed everyone from passionate New Yorkers, Texas bartenders and a cross-country family to aspiring nurses and chefs, and recently to young adults dealing with virginity...and that's only in the past two years alone.
For someone who's used to watching great storytelling and intense competition on that channel I've watched since back in high school, the latest MTV show I'm adding to my collection will allow me the chance to enjoy something that I don't have much of because of the presence of drama on most shows and being engaged by great stories on others. And that would be plenty of opportunities to enjoy a laugh and have lots of fun. Finally, I'll have a chance to let loose a little and chuckle a bit.

When it premieres this Thursday - Halloween Eve, Slednecks will become the 17th overall MTV show, the 12th new MTV series and 10th outside the RW/Challenge bubble that I will have followed since I joined twitter two years ago. But for the first time during this stretch, there will be cast members coming to us by way of our country's northernmost state, whose seminal moment came 55 years ago this past January when they were officially granted statehood as the 49th state in the union.
If you dig shows with a group of hard-partying, carefree teens and where fun, not drama, is your cup of tea, then you're likely gonna fall in love with Slednecks. If the promos & footage are any indication, then we are expecting plenty of fun, plenty of laughs, and even some drama as we chill with Jackie, Trevor, Kelly, Sierra, Amber, Zeke, Tosca, Dylan, Big Mike, Hali and Samantha in Alaska. And if you thought that the partying ways of the Jersey Shore cast or the antics of the Buckwild bunch was something else, then wait until you get to see what these have in store for us beginning in a few days. And as they say, "you ain't seen nothing yet."
But before we take a look ahead to the latest to accompany 10 Spot Thursday, let's dive a bit back to the first months of last year, when the buzz of the MTV world was focused in on West Virginia. And had it not been for a tragic accident, then we would've been enjoying the 3rd season of their show right now.
