I like Tommy Lee. He's brutally honest and just happy with life and in the few interviews I've seen with him, he always comes across as a cool guy. He's had a rocky past and been involved in some drug abuse and physical abuse but he battled his demons and seems to be content nowadays. I mean, he took his ex-wife on a week-long vacation recently (which sparked the whole remarriage rumors) and I've never heard of that involving divorced couples - he could have acted like a jerk after Pamela Anderson claimed he gave her Hepatitis C (which is probably true anyway) but he didn't hold a grudge. He's also mellowed out a lot musically and his new album "Tommyland" sounds much softer than I ever imagined. (This is both good and bad.) So following suit with his "reformed lifestyle" (well, not really) he decides it's time to go back to college - and hence camera crew follow him around a Nebraska college campus and we get to see him make an ass of himself.
Yet another reality TV show where humiliation plays a big part, but this one's funny. A lot of the stuff is probably scripted - Tommy gets a hot tutor for example: a blonde girl, the chances of whom being a regular guy's tutor are probably 1,000,000 to 1. When he sees her he says, "You're my tutor? Awesome!" This show is a bit basic and juvenile, and some might find it pathetic to see a brainless, drugged-up veteran rock star acting like he's 20 years old - but that's part of the fun, because Tommy Lee is a kid trapped in an adult's body. He never grew up, and he probably never will. The show works because of him, not in spite of him.
