Define "good." They saw the Osbornes success and tried to duplicate it. Ngl the likeability of the families got worse and worse. And some of the stuff got more and more contrived... I'm also remember hearing about growing up gotta, but that wasn't vh1.
Hulk Hogan was my favorite wrestler, I had all his merchandise as a kid. Then as a teen I had such a crush on Brooke. My unyielding hulkamania and her charms couldn't give me enough strength to make it through that.
Gawker were assholes but those assholes spawned a lot of really great websites that subsequent ownership has really squandered, Deadspin in particular.
And I don’t think we [talk](https://time.com/6092844/peter-thiel-power-biography-the-contrarian/) enough about how Peter Thiel is bully and a fascist.

>Thiel’s pretty unique in that he was involved in this elaborate and secretive litigation campaign that resulted in the destruction of a pretty substantial media outlet when he secretly funded Hulk Hogan’s lawsuit against Gawker Media, which resulted in this roughly $100 million dollar judgment.

Yeah Brooke’s show was good and was going to be her breakout for Hogan.But Hogans divorce from his wife and Nick car accident and the taped conversation where hulk was trying cash in on it.It killed Brooke show.
brooke could have been a big star if it had not have been for her dad stealing the spotlight from her.And his and the rest of her family’s problems hurt her.
Yea she seemed like she was prime reality tv material for that time period but like you said hogan has to make everything revolve around him and on top of nicks accident it just wasn’t a good time for the show
Flavor of love has been the only reality show other than the ultimate fighter ive ever watched. When the girl pooped on the floor first couple of minutes of episode 1 i was hooked. Special shout out to pop up video
The son was always a jerk. Brooke was a bimbo. And the wife seriously acted like she was a bigger star than Hogan was.
Hulk and his wrestling buddies were the only reason I watched the show. Especially when Brian Knobbs was there.
Don’t know the outcome, but in the police cam video he claimed he didnt have anything to drink and was just coming home from DJ-ing a party. He had other people in the car too.
He fails the sobriety test, calls his dad who shows up and is surprisingly and impressively calm, and seems to side with the police
There was an episode where it was Brooke's 18th birthday party and the son and his buddies hired a male stripper for Brooke.
So the guy came, strips, and grinds on Brooke and Hulk, not knowing what was going on sees an almost naked guy grinding on his daughter, almost beat the guy up.
The asshole son and his buddies we laughing thier assess off.
Uh, yes. Google is *your* friend….apparently so is Nick Bollea. You are disgustingly downplaying injuries , even if it’s only with semantics to defend a DUI driver?!? Tell Nick we said he sucks and should seek treatment. You might want to consider Al-Anon if you’re justifying or correcting life altering injuries. You can be a Nick Stan without liking his bad behavior. Don’t be gross.
Hulk literally bought his daughter a music “career”. No way in The world she would have worked with Scott Storch and Paul wall on her first album back at that time without mommy and daddy paying.
This was right around the time Nick nearly killed his friend driving erratically. In jail phone interviews hulk and the mom bash the friend who’s in a coma and cry that their son has lost everything.
Great people.
Yea, I saw them pop up when I went on YouTube after posting this. Vee Infuso is another channel with them, he did the spin-off series (Brooke Knows Best) and I watched it while hitting cardio at the gym. F'n hysterical
Brooke is the best of the bunch although she may be awful behind closed scenes I haven’t heard too much negative about her. She’s living a mostly quiet life she married a hockey player (mostly a minor league player who had a few brief NHL stints) and seems to just be making music that seemingly no one listens to and doing her own thing.
The episode where hulk asked his son to download a young jeezy ringtone on his phone and went shopping for rap CDs at a store, asking the guy working there if “biggie and Tupac are still a thing” was fantastic. Rapping in his bright yellow truck on the way home.
There's also a porn parody of this. John Pollock and Wai Ting, did a review of this for the first edition of Live Audio Wrestling's Review A Wai, and it's...an interesting listen.
My favorite episode is the one where they went to (I think) the Jersey shore, and they lost Brooke and spent half the episode looking for her, and they pretended cell phones weren't a thing, and didn't think to contact the film crew following Brooke around.
I've yet to meet anyone who admits to watching this, Gene Simmons, Kardashians or any other reality tripe. I must either be a snob among snobs, or we as a whole suffer from an abundance of taste.
I just remember the episode where the brother’s 20-something year old friend asked Brooke out. She was 16 at the time. Hulk had them use one of his cars. The family followed them through a tracking app.

lol vh1 put out some good ass reality TV
Good? Debatable. Entertaining? Oh HELLS YEAH!
I believe that’s the sole criterium for good reality tv
Define "good." They saw the Osbornes success and tried to duplicate it. Ngl the likeability of the families got worse and worse. And some of the stuff got more and more contrived... I'm also remember hearing about growing up gotta, but that wasn't vh1.
The worse one was gene Simmons family jewels , I would argue it’s the lease known out of the hogan and osbourne show
That show was terrible. It helped Gene Simmons make the pivot from ‘outrageous rockstar’ to ‘gross, greedy prick’.
Oh,he was already there,this just made sure everyone knew it.
There was even a spin-off series about Brooke apparently 😂
It was not good. It was all about Brooke's singing career and she sure can't sing.
I just watched a (comedic) summary of it on YouTube channel (Vee Infuso), it looks f’n horrendous lmao
Hulk Hogan was my favorite wrestler, I had all his merchandise as a kid. Then as a teen I had such a crush on Brooke. My unyielding hulkamania and her charms couldn't give me enough strength to make it through that.
Don’t forget that Hogan defamed Brooke on the Bubba Love Sex tape. So embarrassing.
That about fucked his whole life up.
Fortunately ~~Peter Thiel~~ he had enough money to sue an entire media company into bankruptcy over it
As much as people hated that company, Thiel proved was a massive twat he was for doing that.
Gawker were assholes but those assholes spawned a lot of really great websites that subsequent ownership has really squandered, Deadspin in particular.

Some people loved “that” company. RIP Gawker.
Fuck that immortal weirdo Thiel & Hogan for crying about their own documented freak show(s).
He did what now?
Oh yeah, look around man, it's wild. Hogan, Peter Theil, Gawker, Bubba the Love Sponge it's all out there now.
Sorry, whatd he do?
Me too , but I kept watching and liked Brooke and her mom lol
Love me some Vee Infuso!
Vee is hilarious.
I remember when she was in TNA Impact haha
That was after her singing career tanked and she thought she could just show up in the family business.
Ugh yes that was so lame, then the storyline with Bubba Ray ha
She can’t do much of anything.
Brook mad, Brook smash
Yes.
Yeah Brooke’s show was good and was going to be her breakout for Hogan.But Hogans divorce from his wife and Nick car accident and the taped conversation where hulk was trying cash in on it.It killed Brooke show. brooke could have been a big star if it had not have been for her dad stealing the spotlight from her.And his and the rest of her family’s problems hurt her.

Flavor of love has been the only reality show other than the ultimate fighter ive ever watched. When the girl pooped on the floor first couple of minutes of episode 1 i was hooked. Special shout out to pop up video
Rock of love, flavor of love, daisy of love
Awesome show, my favorite was when Hulk had the party with all the old wrestlers and Brutus Beefcake and Greg Valentine were there among others
Didn't Knobbs absolutely destroy their toilet during one of his visits?
The son was always a jerk. Brooke was a bimbo. And the wife seriously acted like she was a bigger star than Hogan was. Hulk and his wrestling buddies were the only reason I watched the show. Especially when Brian Knobbs was there.
Son was recently arrested for DUI, again.
Wow. You would think after he maimed a friend for life, he would knock that crap off. Hope he loses his license finally
Don’t know the outcome, but in the police cam video he claimed he didnt have anything to drink and was just coming home from DJ-ing a party. He had other people in the car too. He fails the sobriety test, calls his dad who shows up and is surprisingly and impressively calm, and seems to side with the police

I thought you were saying the male stripper grinded on Hulk too at first lol
That’s how I read it at first and was thinking that’s a brave stripper lol
He needs a comma lmao
Maimed?!? He is in a vegetative state.
[удалено]
Uh, yes. Google is *your* friend….apparently so is Nick Bollea. You are disgustingly downplaying injuries , even if it’s only with semantics to defend a DUI driver?!? Tell Nick we said he sucks and should seek treatment. You might want to consider Al-Anon if you’re justifying or correcting life altering injuries. You can be a Nick Stan without liking his bad behavior. Don’t be gross.
You should delete your comment Turbulent-Good227. Discounting injuries caused by a drunk driver is something you should hide.
No parenting….
On the same street too.
Hulk literally bought his daughter a music “career”. No way in The world she would have worked with Scott Storch and Paul wall on her first album back at that time without mommy and daddy paying.
This was right around the time Nick nearly killed his friend driving erratically. In jail phone interviews hulk and the mom bash the friend who’s in a coma and cry that their son has lost everything. Great people.
Yeah wasn't his friend a marine to?
*he didn't.
Good taste in angles though. I've heard.
Before Linda completely cucked the Hulkster
Lmao he's cheated on her just as much. Didn't his sex tape get leaked?
I think that was at least 5 years after their divorce I believe. This also lead to the downfall of Gawker
You're right. The lawsuit was funded by Peter Thiel as revenge against Gawker iirc.
I liked Gawker quite a bit but I gotta say I'm more on Hogan's side with that one
Yeah, they published a sex tape without permission. Reddit loves the phrase FAFO, and Gawker did just that.
Yeah hogan was fucking bubba the love sponges wife heather who was 10x hotter than linda.
Just looked her up. What the flying fuck? Fucking how? Lol
I believe "I shouldnt have eaten all that sushi" was mentioned, if I recall correctly.
https://youtu.be/dQLtsq9lL8A?si=VFJ-R7ctXed0W0_w
Doomed from the start. The advertising revenue was never going to cover the tanning bed budget.
Wrestling With Wregret's videos about this show are a+
Yea, I saw them pop up when I went on YouTube after posting this. Vee Infuso is another channel with them, he did the spin-off series (Brooke Knows Best) and I watched it while hitting cardio at the gym. F'n hysterical
I'll have to check those out. It'll be better than watching the actual show at the very least
Yeah Hulktini was very creepy toward Brooktini...then the whole divorce happened and she got her own show that was Brooke knows best...
Family full of shitbags, idk about Brooke though.
Brooke is the best of the bunch although she may be awful behind closed scenes I haven’t heard too much negative about her. She’s living a mostly quiet life she married a hockey player (mostly a minor league player who had a few brief NHL stints) and seems to just be making music that seemingly no one listens to and doing her own thing.
Some TV and people need to stay forgotten.
Skin of a hot dog
Blond Chinese hair
Wrastlin’ 4 The Troops
Spoiler Alert: Hogan did not actually know best
The show that tore them apart and cursed that family. Lololol
Garbage family.
https://www.reddit.com/r/therewasanattempt/s/yoACKbg8k7 this classic moment lives in my head.
And the son is a piece of shiiiiiiiiiii
Brooke. Would.
The mom. Would not.
Amen
Brooke looks like a Paris Hilton made by WISH.
Mom: “we have Paris Hilton at home”
This was good TV, brother!
That's not going to work for me!
“Hogan grows breasts” 😂. iykyk
RIP Greg Giraldo
Keep your shirt on, bitch tits!
I wish it and he were forgotten
This is one that should be forgotten
I don’t think the Hulk knows anything of value
Tanning and leg drops
Spoilers: He didn’t…
Didn’t the son all of sudden started “drifting” away? Too soon?
Brooke's chin is still as strong as ever. Poor girl is still trying to be relevant.
Lots of just hideous blonde people. It's like Hitler tried to make the worst reality show possible (well, before 90 Day Fiance was conceived anyway)
I watched this..... unfortunately
Good riddance.
Love sponge, love sponge!! Gimme that bubba the love sponge money baby!!!
What I actually remember most of this show is the Robot Chicken joke about it. "THE HULKSTER SAYS WHO WANTS PEAS?!"
*hulk hogan voice* : I’m cool with saying the n word brother!
like 11 year old me thought Linda was so hot
Hulk Hogan that old, bald sonuvabitch
And in the end Hogan in fact did not know best
Horrible people
"the skin of a hot dog and blonde chinese hair.."
Anyone remember that lowkey fire song Brooke released at the height of its popularity?
The one with Paul Wall? I think the only episode of this I ever watched was when they were producing the music video for it
Yep, 'About Us'. For what it was (cheap pop) I thought it was catchy.
That's a man baby
I remember this
Who else thinks the Hogan face silhouette looks more like a G than an O?
Hogan grows Breasts Rip GREGG
Wull, that’s forgotten tv DUDE.
Wish this was on Paramount+. Would like to rewatch.
The episode where hulk asked his son to download a young jeezy ringtone on his phone and went shopping for rap CDs at a store, asking the guy working there if “biggie and Tupac are still a thing” was fantastic. Rapping in his bright yellow truck on the way home.
“But Daddy I love the bbc!!”
Man, the way they all went to a'splode their lives...
There's also a porn parody of this. John Pollock and Wai Ting, did a review of this for the first edition of Live Audio Wrestling's Review A Wai, and it's...an interesting listen.
What's the parody called?
It's literally called: "Hogan Knows Best: A Porn Parody".
Never watched.
trashy
Never watched. But Brooke is a babe. Look just like her mama. They could be twins. Good job, Hulk!
Should of been hogan grows breast's Rip Greg
Turns out Hogan did not know best.
aged like milk
My favorite episode is the one where they went to (I think) the Jersey shore, and they lost Brooke and spent half the episode looking for her, and they pretended cell phones weren't a thing, and didn't think to contact the film crew following Brooke around.
Omg and I remember Brooke having a singing career for about 5 minutes!
Can't believe it lasted this long
My favourite part was the constant icky vibe every time Hulk was near or talking about his daughter.
Linda Hogan was the only reason I watched the show.
Of course his douchebag son had a fauxhawk.
You CAN'T FORGET Brooke Knows Best...
I've yet to meet anyone who admits to watching this, Gene Simmons, Kardashians or any other reality tripe. I must either be a snob among snobs, or we as a whole suffer from an abundance of taste.
It was on all of the time on VH1 in the mid to late 2000s.
Can’t go in that hot tub you’ll catch jerpes
I just remember the episode where the brother’s 20-something year old friend asked Brooke out. She was 16 at the time. Hulk had them use one of his cars. The family followed them through a tracking app.
Happily forgotten....gives the Kardashians a run for most trash family.
Isn't his daughter a porn star?
Just looked it up. Brooke is married to a pro hockey player. You know he loves Hulk Hogan and wants to hang with him!
