MTV Introduces “The Shop”
MTV brings what is sure to be a new hit next month with “The Shop,” which chronicles life in a barber shop in Jamaica, Queens.
The New York Times reports:
It is this palpable chemistry that MTV plans to bring to its viewers next month with “The Shop,” a new reality series that chronicles all the goings-on at Mr. Rooney’s - all the debates, the “yo momma” jokes, the pseudopolitical commentary, and the wry observations. The show, part “McLaughlin Group,” part BET’s video show “106 and Park,” is the brainchild of Corey Rooney, a popular R&B producer and founder of the shop. The barbers, while plying their trade, watch music videos and critique them, trade gossip and insults and informally interview celebrities who drop in. Diddy, Bobby Brown, the boxer Zab Judah and the rappers Young Jeezy, Fat Joe and Tony Yayo have all paid visits in recent weeks.

The shop is the “Shit”. Look, I’m 52 years old and I’ve seen alot. This show is real, funny and entertaining. Finally, something spontaneous and current. Love It.
