When VH1 was nothing more than an adult version of MTV, they picked up former WB series, “The Surreal Life.” In 2004, they recruited Flavor Flav to join the series. He ended up having a relationship with Bridgette Neilsen.
Due to the popular romance between Flav and Neilsen, the network granted them their own show, “Strange Love.” The show was a ratings-grabber and set records for VH1. After the first season, Neilsen left Flavor Flav for her fiance.
The network used the heart-broken Flav to their advantage, giving him three seasons of “Flavor of Love.” His series sparked a revolution at the network that has made it a constant ratings-grabber. Now, VH1 has lost two popular shows with “Megan Wants a Millionaire” and “I Love Money 3.”
Right now, the chips are down for VH1, so they need to give Flavor Flav another reality show. This time about life with his wife and infant son. He is still an entertaining personality. Can Flavor Flav save VH1?
