Episode #1: Mad at MTV

[chuckles]

It is the inaugural episode of JV's World on Revision3!

With things in the housing economy as tough as they are and getting tougher every day, it's hard to imagine how MTV can still be airing CRIBS.

Watch and download here (http://revision3.com/jvsworld/mtv/).

[travislopes]

Sorry Revision3, but I have to say I'm kinda disappointed by this show.

For the style of this show, I think all the animated graphics around JV are too much. Just a simple shot of him on camera would work.

I guess I'll give the show another shot, but I don't have my hopes up.

[nextgenxbox]

Watched it. Nothing special. To me it's just "a guy's Youtube video response with graphics."

I will watch another episode or two before I decide if I like it or not. I'll be fair.

[xibalba]

cribs sucks.

i guess i am going to be one of the few who actually enjoyed it.

[chriscannon]

What is the point of this show? Is it to provide humor on an issue? If so, where's the humor? Repeatedly saying the phrase "Eat shit and die" and the host JV harassing a man until he uttered "It was a huge slap in the face" were the only aspects of the show that was not reporting on the state of the world.

If this is a show about issues, why is the issue of MTV Cribs showing luxurious houses while others lose their homes due to hard economic times the hottest topic for a pilot? A man supposedly known for his controversial choice of topics has to be able to do better than MTV trash.

In short, I have no idea what is the point behind this show. It fails to deliver on both humor and any kind of informative discussion about a worth while topic. What is the purpose of Revision3 Beta? Shouldn't those shows have first shot at upgrading to a full Revision3 show? Revision3 almost canceled Pixel Perfect to hire JV? Stop this show before any others have to view this pointless garbage.

[rabidbadger]

Couldn't sit though it. Annoying. If his source is MTV, that died 20 years ago, then his shtick is schtuck in the eighties. This is the best rev3 could find? Seriously? Hell, just upgrade Bottles Blends and Brews from Beta, Or get NeverEndingRant, or MessOfMusic. Both have much better, less pretentious hosts.

Seriously, If I wanna see Emimem give me the news, I'd well, not watch eminem give me the news.

[jlouderb]

He's going to be polarizing, which I think is OK. Not everyone is going to like it. But JV's got a tremendous following and is very creative. This one's just the beginning, the next one will be even better.

Thanks everyone for giving it a shot. If you don't like this one, wait a week or two - we'll have another new show launch you might like better.

jim

[nextgenxbox]

You let Martin and Sarah go...

That's an excellent post.

That will go down as one of Revision3's greatest mistakes. They let go of two of the most talented and loved internet personalities.

Now, Leo Laporte was smart enough to snatch them up and are now doing a show called This Week in Fun. http://www.twit.tv

[nextgenxbox]

If you don't like this one, wait a week or two - we'll have another new show launch you might like better.

jim

That upcoming show better have the words CTRL, ALT and CHICKEN it its title...

[masterevilace]

Are you high? Are you smoking dope? Dude that runs Revision3?! You let Martin and Sarah go so you can bring in shows like this? JV...eat shit and die.
Ha, how true. I was a fan of Martin.

This JV's world.. Way too flashy.. too gimmicky. And it looks like the guy has no operating budget.. Images seemed like they were randomly found on google.

To be honest, what is the point of a show where you have someone complaining about EVERYTHING? It's completely annoying. The host is obnoxious

On the topic discussed... I don't mind Cribs. People will always find other people's style (especially celebrities) interesting. I would feel offended by the show if Cribs came out recently, but it's been on for years. You know what I find pathetic? While people are losing their jobs and their homes, talking about how bad MTV cribs is. I think a lot of people have bigger problems than MTV.

The last thing we need is another show that uses clips and images from varying sources. NEW and ORIGINAL contest is what is needed.

[eminemdrdre00]

That upcoming show better have the words CTRL, ALT and CHICKEN it its title...

Haha QFT. Or I'll take episode 5 of the broken.

[nextgenxbox]

So I looked up this JV guy since Jim said he had a following.

I guess he's a morning DJ on some radio show. Now I know why I was annoyed by the episode. The topic was something a hack morning radio host would discuss.

"Hey... what's up with MTV Cribs?? Them peeps is wack!"

I predict next week will be, "Man, did you hear about the Swine Flu? That shit is crazy!"

*sigh*

[pr3f1x]

Im a big rev3 fan, but this show is a pass. Jv's world R.I.P. in my recycle bin.

But "shit" will be bleeped, because it makes sense to censor a show where the host swears every other word. After all, this is the Internet. There are rules that need to be followed.

[geeksunny]

My thoughts exactly.

The guy reused his own sound bytes two or three times over. It was a five minute show. Can we say lazy?

Yeah, it's pointless to beep out ANY swear word on ANY Rev3 show. If you don't want swear words in the show, then tell the talent to keep it family friendly. Either you disallow swearing or you go all in.

[Daikun]

Imagine all that money spent on showing off your flashy graphics to make a web series when thousands across the nation are losing their own money.

Nice job, hypocrite!

[joshknepper]

Um.... did that just happen? Really?

A guy who is pissed off at MTV for airing Cribs during a recession - Dude, I couldn't afford those kinda places before the recession, but that didn't stop me from watching then.

If you want to have a show where the host is pissed off about stuff and wants to make a difference - then get a guy who is pissed off at social injustice (i.e. child sex trade and human trafficing)

You can always change the channel if you don't want to watch MTV -

But you can't switch off crimes against humanity.

Get a clue JV.

look forward to Episode #2

[must_comment]

1. Going in to give "The Tough Guy Act" to front desk people for something they have nothing to do with is just stupid. How about a little more research and talking to people who have decision power? At least it's way more compelling to watch them shrug off the camera.

2. Don't clutter the screen up with useless graphics like how much time you're into the show, the giant episode number, and the spinning globe that's on screen WAAAY too much, and, oh yeah, the OTHER clock.

3. Don't put in crap fluff interviews where you put words in your subjects mouth. It discredits both of you.

4. Just to prove I watched the whole darn thing, yes, this probably is another failure on JV's resume.

5. I have seen much better content on Revision3 Beta. Why did this go straight to the front page?

[rabidbadger]

said it before. Say it again. Rev3 needs a new CEO.

[Tiki]

Are you high? Are you smoking dope? Dude that runs Revision3?! You let Martin and Sarah go so you can bring in shows like this? JV...eat shit and die.

As Martin would say, and did say on many occasions, "Eat a Dick Louderback"

Anyway, There is one simple reason why Cribs is being played, and it's not the MTV program directors fault, people are watching it (Unlike this show in about 2 weeks). People watch Cribs for the same reason people watch spy movies where, the main character gets everything he wants, and, Hell, even why people watch porn, again... the main character gets everything he wants. It's fantasy. Let people watch what they want to watch and let networks program what they want to program. I know I'm not going to be watching this for much longer, yet I won't have a problem if Revision3 keeps programming the show. I hate political opinion shows (With the exception of Colbert) because they think that their opinion is the only one and that's how it goes. This is exactly like that and I don't like it.

[magunwarrior]

Quite possibly the worst podcast I've ever had the misfortune of watching.

It is beyond me why Martin, Sarah, and others were let go to bring on "talent" of this caliber.

[athlonatron]

1.) JV comes off as a mid-thirties man dressing and acting like an angst-filled e-tough teenager.

2.) Where's the content? 90% couldn't afford a celebrity crib before the recession and now this is an issue? gtfo.....

3.) Come out of the MTV office after being kicked the fawk out and acts like he gave them a piece of his mind? What a poser! and what is with him harrassing some mindless zombie on the street to bully him into saying what he wanted to say. Even that guy knew he was full of shiet.

Whoever approved this guy needs to get real and could be a sign that some new blood needs to come into the head administration or program selection committee. It wasn't entertaining at all, it had almost zero merit or credibility and did nothing but make Rev3 look more amateurish and youtube-like.

And Jim, you saying the second episode will be better?..........

Anything can be better than this premiere initial piece of steaming dogcrap.....

The guy needs to be shown the curb in short order before he drags Rev3 down to his noticeably low level.

[FreekBoy]

I always looked to Revision3 to bring me quality programming on which they almost always delivered...


...until today.

Oh lordy. A good while, until whatever fan base he has comes in to defend everything he slaps together? I can't wait!

From his website "most of their fan base is probably going to HATE ME for a good while"

What's that supposed to mean? All of a sudden he's an expert on Revision3's viewers? Ugh!

[eseymour]

I think people failed to notice the sarcastic way he was doing things, I'll give a few examples "Forcing words into people you interview's mouth", and "Getting kicked out of the MTV offices and acting like he's all tough"

both of those things were sarcastic/satire, he wasn't trying to act "tough" that was him trying to be funny.

Overall the episode wasn't a hit or a miss, it wasn't good, didn't entertain me, but it also wasn't so horribly bad that I'd so easily jump on the "BURN IT TO THE GROUND" bandwagon. Will watch a few more before I decide whether I hate it or not.

At least one person seems to make some sense.

[jordinho]

Jim Louderback, you said: "He's going to be polarizing, which I think is OK." But "polarizing" can mean a couple things. What you're doing is trying to spin it to make it seem like his views are polarizing when in fact it's the quality of the show itself that's polarizing. Certainly you didn't mean the latter (what CEO would concede that the poor quality of his product is polarizing?), which means you're trying to write off this criticism as "it may not be your cup of tea." I don't think anyone will buy that.

I hope someone is doing a Startup.com (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/startupcom/)-type doc on Rev3 as we speak. Shit would be fascinating. I'm sure they have a room of monkeys-on-typewriters just like Mr. Burns has.

Bullshet.

Yes he was trying to act tough. I didn't see any sarcasm at all in the whole episode when he was telling MTV is eat crap and die over and over.

If you're going to use my comment as an example, don't change my words. I used "Tough Guy Act" because that is what he used. Furthermore, I know he's playing at humor. His shtick seems to be "look how pathetic I can be, everybody laugh", but I'm not laughing and it doesn't look like many others are either. If he really gave more than half a crap of what he is complaining he'd put more than a day's effort into his show. Anyone who agreed with what he has to say still probably would not approve of how he made his argument, humorous or not.

[eseymour]

Sorry wasn't really trying to use your words, just repeated what I saw reading the thread, it's not him being a tough guy though, do you know what satire is? With the MTV thing it was so blatantly obvious he was joking about "giving them a piece of his mind" because he showed us all that he -obviously- didn't.

As for the quality content aside, he needs to cut the hell back on all the screen layers, there is just too much stuff going on at once, another thing you should note is that this is a simple 5 minute preview of what he is about, if you're so quick to criticize things you'll find you'll lead a very disappointing life, at least give him a single episode, one he has more time to prepare, before you start insulting with little to no warrant.

[athlonatron]

Are you seriously trying to pawn off the notion that the whole thing was just a joke and he didn't really care? Give me a break, the guy had a bone to pick and you are saying he was just playin around?

wtf....

[eseymour]

No I'm trying to say that he was trying to make a point while throwing in a little humor, whether or not his attempt was a success is in the eye of the beholder, to me it was a miss on the humor scale.

I could agree cribs is a horrible show, as I hate anything MTV puts out, but that doesn't mean I enjoyed his, as I said it was not entertaining, but it wasn't horribly bad, and I'll at least give him a chance to present himself better.

[lazaruswws]

In a capitalist society consumers bought the products that's proceeds went to buy those homes and create a show to show off those homes. Starting a show off with a argument that is not even at a high school level. Any way if you have lost your home you should be paying for food not MTV. I just think it is sad that there is no intellectual thought in that entire 5:33. JV interviews some really intelligent people on the street and might as well have given them a script. The programing on MTV is bad but not as bad as this show. Capitalism and free markets are going JV a slap in the face when his show gets canceled.

[aaronsaund]

Oh, Jesus, wtf is this? What a terrible terrible show. MTV Cribs is actually kind of cool. I like seeing those houses. MTV is garbage though, but we already knew that. However, I watch HGTV if I want to see cribs without the annoying music and celebrities. They have houses on there most people can't afford every day. STFU. At least rant about something important in your first episodes, LOL.

1. He was being sarcastic, not satiric. If you are implying all the graphical bs crowding up the screen was done in parody, okay, but still not laughing.

2. I made no insults, I made criticisms. I did not call him any names.

3. I'm fairly certain he spent a day on this since the Santa Monica Promenade where he did his interview isn't far from the MTV offices he visited.

4. Again, there are Beta shows WAAY better than this. Rev3 is supposed to be the leader in internet video and there isn't any excuse for this episode being on the front page. If the show wants to find its way slowly and grow it should do that in the Beta section.

[rabidbadger]

I did get the feeling that some people here didn't realize that this guy was trying to be funny.

Um, if people are trying to be funny, then maybe they should be kinda, ya know funny? :eek:

[rabidbadger]

ditto.

There are a few great shows in the beta section, and even a few in the "cry for help" that are much better than this.

Sounds like some one was a friend of a a freind of a friend of Krose, and therefore got greenlighted, despite the honest hard work of others who went through the ignored process of the beta ignored process ignored thing. Ignored again.

[nlflux]

Just registered to say how crap "JV's World" is, nearly sure the intro is longer then the episode!! What a disappointment by Rev3.. :(

I haven't logged in a few weeks, but I had to log back in just to agree with this post.

I, too, was largely offended by "Teen Cribs," but I really don't see the point of this show. Unless it's really cheap like Digg Reel (which it probably is), I don't see this lasting beyond next week.

[bb4034]

That upcoming show better have the words CTRL, ALT and CHICKEN it its title...

This.

...Or I'll take episode 5 of the broken.

And this.

And preserve original hosts. Or...I'd be happy with Marty & Sarah resurrecting CAC, how potentially epic could that be? Even Gator > JV, not implying Gator wasn't good itfp - more like Gator >>> JV.

[boldfire]

This guy was not likable at all, just obnoxious - telling us what we should be angry at.

He seemed like a poor mans (and annoying) Charlie Brooker:

m10GYS9cunc

This felt like a uStream channel that I'd watch for 2 seconds then turn off to watch BBLiveShow. Will check it again in a few weeks, but sorry Rev3 - I think you missed the ball on this one.

Here's an idea: When you have some Beta shows which are better than this by a long shot, why not give them their chance instead of putting them on a page hardly anyone visits (presumably)? Instead of giving this angry man a glorified 13 year olds youtube video.

I respect Revision3 and Jim Louderback, but if this is what they're dedicating resources to instead of improving current shows when Systm has obviously near-no funding and Diggnation is getting so short it pales in comparison to itself 12 months ago... then something is seriously wrong. I can't believe they seriously greenlighted this thinking this is what the Revision3 audience would dig.

Did anybody else cringe when he was talking about Cribs on MTV "When people are loosing their homes" - when Martin, Sarah and lots of others lost their job and were replaced with this garbage?

[smokeyjoey8]

It makes me sad that you guys had to watch this to see it would be terrible. I just looked at the info and picture and came to the conclusion it would be utter crap.

Rev3 should get Mr Chi City.

[dirtyhat]

Disappointed

-I like that there's new content coming to Rev3 but if it's not good content then....
-I felt like "fancy" editing/graphics were trying to compensate for lack of content.
-I don't know if he was trying to rant AND be funny, but he didn't pull it off.
-Maybe the fact that there has been so many posts and feedback, is a sign he was a "success"? Any publicity is good publicity, right? kind of Howard Stern, shock jock ish.
-I give EVERY show I watch a few episodes before I pass judgement. So, reluctantly, I will with this as well. But my initial reaction...

Disappointed

[cybersleeper]

You let Martin and Sarah go so you can bring in shows like this?

I hope Revision3 doesn't end up like the Tech TV management and get rid a people and shows that the VIEWERS WANT TO SEE (shouting very loudly), come on Jim, listen to the VIEWERS, we love(d) Martin & Sarah... gee whiz !!!!!

[rpeterson0910]

I'm incredibly disappointed with this show. If I wanted to see a stupid rant show I'd go to youtube.

You're lucky you didn't kill Epic Fu when you cut it's distribution, otherwise I'd be pissed to see you replace it with this shit.

PS: Why the fuck is the Digg Reel still alive?

[boldfire]

Seems like the disappointment isn't limited to these boards. http://search.twitter.com/search?q=revision3

PS: Why the fuck is the Digg Reel still alive? Cheap to make, popular and funny. If you haven't tried it recently give it another go, it's still not for everyone but they've come leaps and bounds.

[Babnert]

Not Good.

[SirPopey]

Shockingly bad.

I think this really shows how out of touch Revision3 is with its audience these days. JV might be popular on something like YouTube but that's because there's no expectation of quality or content there. Here on the otherhand we expect good quality, it's what we've become accustomed to.

I'm really baffled at how bad of a decision this was, it's not like you don't have scope for beta testing or focus groups for new shows. You have forum here with near 2,000 active members, most of whom would be more than happy to give their views on new shows to avoid future monumental cock ups like this.

Someone at Revision3 has to be reading our comments and thinking that something isn't right with the direction the company is heading in at the moment.

[boldfire]

I think that before this all new shows were judged on "Is it worse than social brew?" - now it's going to be "Is it worse than JVs World?"

[xfuuey]

jeez. thats a hell of a lot of negative comments. we'll see how this show does in the future.
shows can improve people(maybe?) :rolleyes:

[chuckley54494]

well the mans got balls. i like that they have another show thats more raw. thats what rev3 is about. letting them say what they mean.

[tokenuser]

He's going to be polarizing, which I think is OK. Not everyone is going to like it.

I didn't hate it.

There. Said it.

JV has been in radio for a long time. According to the web, he had higher ratings than Howard Stern in his local (SF) market.

The rant had more a Lewis Black type sense to it - with the right subjects and the Daily Show style video clip editting into the ...

(hey ... just heard you - JV - streaming on the radio about the forums roasting you ...)

... show and I think it will be a good show.

I never trust the first couple of episodes of ANYTHING. I'll give it a few more epsiodes before casting any judgement.

I might even link a clip later on... :)

[tenny]

C'mon this is the first episode. Although I find it different than the other shows, I know they will do better. Oh yeah, I hate shows like "MTV Cribs" ;)

[boldfire]

Please do :)

[athlonatron]

In some way I think JV is using REV3 to get attention form MTV for maybe a possible show for them.

The best way to get someone's attention is to rant about them and come into their offices and make a podcast about how they suck etc.

I think Rev3 is being played bigtime.

[enemy33x]

didnt really care about episode1. maybe its because i havent watched mtv in about ~8yrs? or maybe its because i didnt find his rant that "edgy" or even that "funny". i think if rev3 wanted to keep a show that was 5mins long & that was worth a damn, they shouldve kept epicFu. if rev3 wanted to give the fans top quality content, they shoudlve kept popsiren & webdrifter. fill the void with jv's world? no, that aint cutting it. please give one of the beta's a promotion to frontpage already! they definitely put more work into their shows. but... BUT... if you must have a rant show... just give adam carolla a job already! thats his specialty :)

Interesting....But I didnt watch Ctrl+Alt+Chicken because I liked cooking, I just watched it because Alex Albrecht was the host. I'm still curious about this new cooking show though...

if revision3's current fan base was enough, they would not be seeking out new talent. JV will bring a whole new audience to this site

1st episode was entertaining; I’ve been following his work for a while, so I’m used to his style of humor and commentary. I’ve seen some of his work where the use of videos and graphics was a bit smoother. I’m looking forward to future episodes.

So, I would say to all the loyal revision3 users. Make some room, there’s about to be a whole new audience on the site. I must say, you guys will always rule the forums…because that’s you thing, it’s not really my thing. I guess you will have a choice, let revision3 grow to include new people with new interests, or you guys can rant and cry on these forums until….well…. I’m not confident what’s said in these forums really matter. Hope you all give it a few more episodes.

1st episode was entertaining; I’ve been following his work for a while, so I’m used to his style of humor and commentary. I’ve seen some of his work where the use of videos and graphics was a bit smoother. I’m looking forward to future episodes.

So, I would say to all the loyal revision3 users. Make some room, there’s about to be a whole new audience on the site. I must say, you guys will always rule the forums…because that’s you thing, it’s not really my thing. I guess you will have a choice, let revision3 grow to include new people with new interests, or you guys can rant and cry on these forums until….well…. I’m not confident what’s said in these forums really matter. Hope you all give it a few more episodes.


Very well said. :)

-chuckles-

[jackie13]

8 pages of complaints from the same 5 people. thats great. well, if you guys just took a second to have some humor, then perhaps you would see why the show is funny.

i think this will be a great addition to rev3. kevin rose knew what he was doing when he brought him on to this site.

i cant wait for the next episode.

[arson0ner]

It's funny some of the comments that have been made about the show. It's obvious that everyone took the whole thing seriously. Even if the graphics were too much, the content is funny if you enjoy dry humor.

If you need to be spoonfed a joke then it's not for you. I enjoyed it.

^Huh?


Anyway, I just watched the show. Yeah, MTV is old news. I do wish he woulda ranted about how they switched from music vids way back in the day to horribly scripted fucking reality TV shows (i realize i just said scripted & reality in the same sentence).
I think this show will be OK. It'll be interesting to see future shows.

[jackie13]

^Huh?



let me clarify... i would like to give some props to the folks who got jv up in this bitch...

I AGREE!!! that would have been a great topic!

[Mr.Glass]

<disclaimer> I don't have the time or inclination to read the previous 8 pages. The following is my personal opinion about the show </disclaimer>

I love his character, I love that he is loud and brash. I think he's something rev3 hasn't had and is a good addition to the rev3 host team.

That said, I have two problems with the show. First, I just don't think it fits the medium. I really felt like I was watching howard TV for most of it - watching a radio host talking into a microphone. I really feel like the video plays very little part of the show. From a show point of view this isn't terrible, and it's how many podcasts work, but rev3 has always worked toward capitalizing on video, so that aspect makes it feel like its not a perfect fit for rev3 (to me).

Second, I don't like what he's saying. It's not that I disagree with him - many of the podcasts I watch are hosted by people I disagree with. I don't like the topic. Of all the things to have as your pilot episode, four minutes of bitching about a tv show most of use thought was canceled years ago? really? couldn't find anything more interesting or important to talk about???

I think he will definitely bring a new audience to revision3, and I'm happy about that. It's great that they are going for a new direction. But please, pick a topic people care about.

[arson0ner]

This is going to get off topic. But I hate when people cry about MTV not having music videos anymore. Because honestly when was the last time you sat and watched music videos for 30 minutes or an hour when they were on? It's not of the same interest and appeal it was when it was new. You can watch music videos on youtube, or your iPod or w/e. And it is much more convenient then watching 3 Brittany Spears videos just to see the one video you wanted. I rest my case.

[boldfire]

It does seem people see something in this show, maybe I (like he professes to be) am pessimistic about it. I'll promise to give it another few episodes before I give more thoughts on it :)

[Snigle]

That's an excellent post.

That will go down as one of Revision3's greatest mistakes. They let go of two of the most talented and loved internet personalities.

Now, Leo Laporte was smart enough to snatch them up and are now doing a show called This Week in Fun. http://www.twit.tv

So true, I wasn't a big fan of the premier. To flashy for my taste, seemed almost 'fake'.

I'll stick to Diggnation, Systm, and Tekzila

I doubt Kevin Rose had anything to do with this. He's too busy running Digg.

He knows he's getting ripped on the forum. Look for the May 4th podcsat.

[xtsquintx]

Not only is the content annoying, dated and hackney, but the production values are horrible. I can only assume (and hope) that the show is being produced out of house by JV himself, otherwise I suggest Rev3 close it's doors immediately to prevent further humiliation.

And who thought it was necessary to produce yet another "best week ever" type bullshit commentary program? I would really like to meet the people who like to watch these irritating, self-serving morons try to crack jokes at current events; I just can't imagine anyone actually liking that type of program. Just because Howard Stern broadcast a TV version of his program on E!, doesn't mean that any other radio personality should ever be given the same privilege.

I hate to make a post only to further bolster the stream of discontent about this... but I seriously can't think of anything else to say about it. I really don't think anyone needs to see another episode of it to change their minds either.

[Mr. Underachiever]

I take back what I said earlier. This show isn't the next Social Brew--it's the next Mysteries of Science!

And for the record, I didn't hate the show, I just don't think it's the right fit for Revision3. And I don't see how the content is dated, either.

I am almost 100% certain that one of the two new shows will be your favorite revison3 show. :)

-chuckles-

InDigital?! :eek:

[arson0ner]

There's been quite a few howard stern references. JV & Elvis known as the doghouse dominated the SF bay area for over a decade, beating out even howard stern in that market. Again, it comes down to taste.

I wasn't a fan of anything on revision 3 (i couldn't watch) until scam school. Then from there I slowly checked out other stuff. But there are still shows I don't like. So, those I don't watch. That's your choice... Shutup and stop whining already.

[Mr. Underachiever]

come on Jim, listen to the VIEWERS

Well, I'm not sure that's the greatest idea since listening to the viewers was what ruined Internet Superstar.

[thing2]

Odd, didn't expect to see such hate for this.
I enjoyed it - I'm going to have to agree with one of the above gents however and say that the graphics weren't really necessary JV.

I'm a bit of a rebel-rouser myself though so maybe I'm the intended audience for this show. If so, I enjoy it. I'll be tuning in next week.
Revision 3 seems to be expanding out into more than just tech again, which I think is a smart move. Diversification.

I say keep it up - maybe give the guy a better DV cam though :)

[Asystole]

I'm sorry Rev3, I love you guys, but this is truly the most pointless show I've ever seen grace that beautiful homepage of yours.

Let's see what we have here...

- An obnoxious host who tries way too hard
- Bad, juvenile sound effects
- Bad, amateurish graphics. Seriously, do we need shitty clip art covering half the screen?
- Youtube vlog quality lighting and framing
- Utter lack of content. Seems like it wants to be a "Current affairs lolz" type show but provides no insight or humor

I'm surprised this came from the same studio as Diggnation, TRS, Systm... what happened here folks?

[Phatlip]

WTF did I just watch?

Pointless, wasn't funny,and the host is obnoxious.

Did the host just get cable or something? According to Wikipedia, Cribs has been on television since 2000.

What next? A rant about the Andy Griffith show?

[akitty79]

this is just the start JV rules. He is really funny and can't wait to see what else he does. Seriously quit hating...lol

[samureye]

I didn't hate it.

My problem though, is I have no idea who JV is and why I should care about his world. It wasn't bad, and I don't mean this in a dickish way, but I have no idea who this guy is.

There wasn't even a link in the show notes. Will watch more.

[Mr. Underachiever]

Did the host just get cable or something? According to Wikipedia, Cribs has been on television since 2000.

He was talking about the new spinoff show, Teen Cribs, and why it's inappropriate to be airing either version in this recession (which I do kind of agree with).

[thunderbird32]

Did anybody notice this dude was let go from CBS for racist remarks (among other things).
See here: http://www.ny1.com/Default.aspx?SecID=1000&ArID=69653
And here: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/2007/05/13/2007-05-13_dog_gone_cbs_axes_radio_show_after_prank.html

Why would Rev3 hire somebody like this. Are they that desperate for publicity that they'd hire a potentially extremely offensive shock jock? Jim was right, this show will certainly be polarizing if he goes this direction in his show.

[Phatlip]

Wait a sec. "JV" is pissed about MTV being insensitive towards people loosing their homes, but then makes a joke about people loosing their homes and living in cars.

Awesome. Why don't we give Michael Richards a show too?

[ksboyintx]

I am not sure who JV is, or why Revision 3 signed this talent over the more notable names they once had under contract. While I'm not a Martin Sergeant guy; he could have ranted in the same manner, and most likely made it further into MTV complex.

I'm excited to see a new Digg Dialogg show come out, but extremely disappointed this is the newest offering from Rev 3.

This type of show dominates JustinTV or even the crap on Ustream; and is a primary reason I do not view those "alternate" channels. I guess I held Revision 3 to higher standards.

I dutifully complete each Rev 3 survey, and cannot recall ever marking, please give me more crap shows, since Fu is gone.... if I have, I apologize to all the other viewers.

[tokenuser]

Not only is the content annoying, dated and hackney, but the production values are horrible. I can only assume (and hope) that the show is being produced out of house by JV himself, otherwise I suggest Rev3 close it's doors immediately to prevent further humiliation.JVs blog (I did some digging after seeing the show this morning) said that this was produced a couple of months ago as a pilot/test, and that with the 3rd episode he'll be in the Rev3 studio with all the professional gear and editors.

For those that are coming here after listening to JV's show this morning ... welcome. Unfortunately, a lot of people around here don't like change and think Rev3 should be purely about tech, so you hear a lot of whining from people who don't like being pushed out of their comfort zone.

[mrhaines]

My god this show was lame. Seriously, does Rev3 actually expect people to tune into this shit every week? If I wanted to watch shit, I would have cable TV and watch MTV.

[arson0ner]

There is a difference when using race in humor... How many times have you told a racial joke?

Carlos Mencia, Dave Chapelle and more's whole careers are based on racial humor ALONE.

This is getting retarded...

If you want to work google to dig some stuff up. Look up their names or doghouse + alcatraz and learn that JV swam from alcatraz to shore to raise money for a sick 7 year old girl. You'll find out that they have huge hearts and raised thousands of dollars many times and one christmas collected 30,000 toys for kids that weren't going to get anything for christmas.

Before you label anyone anything. Know the facts... I bet you've told more racist jokes and done less for people in your life.

[smokeyjoey8]

The difference between us telling racist jokes and him telling racist jokes is that he is in the public eye. Yeah, he did some great stuff, but no one is going to care if you start cracking racist jokes on the radio.

Oh and bringing up Mencia isnt the best idea. That man is straight up racist. He makes fun of mexicans when he himself isnt even Mexican.

[thunderbird32]

That's not entirely true. You don't see any hate for Scam School. Also, there are some great non-tech shows in Rev3 beta.

[thunderbird32]

Even if that is your opinion, I would think they're going to find a hard time finding sponsors. Supposedly many pulled out of his show after people started complaining. Remember they said the content of thebroken made it difficult to find sponsors? Imagine how hard it'll be to find them for this guy.

[Phatlip]

That's not entirely true. You don't see any hate for Scam School. Also, there are some great non-tech shows in Rev3 beta.

I admit it. I think Revision3 should be tech only (well more geek I should say). Not because it's outside of my comfort zone, but because I think that works best on Revision3.

That's just my opinion though. What it boils down to is this. If I don't like the show I simply won't watch it. The only reason I'm critical is because I would prefer Revision3 spend time on something more worthwhile and enjoyable. But if they don't I'll simply ignore it.

[bostontom]

Sorry guys, but I can't help but love this. Bottom line, it's entertaining to watch. Perhaps the subject material wasn't the most intellectually stimulating, but how can you overlook his approach? Being a fan of JV when he was a DJ on KROCK for a short stint, I can only imagine what future episodes will focus on. He is one of the most original, quick witted personalities I have experienced in some time. Give him a chance.

[HarryAKA]

First of all, I just like to say that the first episode of the show was pretty terrible. I didn't hate JV as a person, but the production values just weren't up to snuff with other Rev3 shows. I think this show world work really well if it was presented in a way similar the short rants on CNN from Jack Cafferty called "Cafferty's File".

And as for the idea that Rev3 users only want tech shows, that is total bullshit. I love the variety in the topics of shows that Rev3 prodcues, and i think even more veriety would be better. But I think shows like this have more of a place on youtube, unless the format is changed drastically

[nintendoxwii]

I'm assuming the returning show is Webdrifter. If it isn't Ctrl-Alt-Chicken, Kevin doesn't want to do The Broken, Indigital would take too much time and too many people to agree to it then it has to be Webdrifter. Plus, the show is still listed with the active shows on the forum. They just removed it from the homepage so I think they are trying to give us to give up about it until a week from now and shove it in our faces saying "You thought it was over, nah nah nah!"

[jlouderb]

JV's World is just one of three great show launches coming from Revision3 in May. The upcoming Film Riot show harkens back to original Revision3 programming, with a geek/tech sensibility (albeit about movie making special effects), engaging passionate hosts, and an entertaining way to learn something new.

Exactly. I think Film Riot (not really tech related) is going to be awesome.

That is a very good point and is possible. That is the nature of the game when it comes to advertising. The internet the last stop for true free speech. And it is unfortunate that it will eventually be under the control of the same interests that created / destroyed both TV and Radio. It is an unnecessary evil though.

(I am not referring to the internet as a whole but premium content, which costs money to produce and maintain and distribute, before I get flamed on that technicality...)

[lloydsoldout]

this sucks. bad. for 2 main reasons:

1. he's no reason to be pissed at Cribs. yes, the economy sucks. no, its not funny that people are losing jobs/homes/etc. But is MTV obligated to stop airing Cribs? no.

Tell JV to take a look at what films were most popular during The Great Depression. Where they movies about how horrible everything was? Nope. The screen was full of glitz and glamor, leading to hope and memories of better times. Go rent Dinner at Eight JV and then you can tell MTV to eat shit and die. How about they guys that work for Cribs? That cameraman has a house. He has a job he has to do.....

2. popSiren and Internet Superstar got canned and in their place we get shit like JVs World.

sorry, but its true.

[xxparker]

I didn't hate the show.. It was okay. I will watch some more episodes though..

Also, he needs to tone down the swearing if everything is being bleeped out. It's just constant sound effects.

Rev3, why don't you give some of the beta shows a chance? I say pick two or three of the beta shows and let them have a two month run or something on the network. See the response and if there is interest, keep them? Why have a beta that's going no where? Do something about it. Either pursue some of the shows or let them go if you don't like them.

[fruitzii]

I can agree that the first episode did kinda dissapoint but it feels as if it needs a chance, cmon guys it's a brand new show with only one episode , try judging it after 5 or 10 episodes.

ever going to do another deals ftw?

[niveus]

This first episode was not very good, nor did it appeal to me. His rant about MTV's Cribs program did not seem very edgy. Cribs has been around for a while and it is an entertaining show to watch. It makes me want to work hard so that I can have a house like that in the future.

Does he know his audience? He would probably be good for 15 to 20 year old males that are not tech savy. It seems that revision3 is a little bit more older and smarter than this show appears to be.

His delivery of the material was weak and needs some improvement. Hopefully, he can bring some better humor, or even better rants in the future. I will watch one more episode before I finally decide whether the show is watchable or not. SXEPhil on youtube is smarter, and funnier than this fella.

"MTV Cribs can eat **** and die." Wow great line. Next week "VH1 I Love the 80's can eat **** and die."

Wait a minute, he's got right to be pissed off at Cribs. I would be pissed off at MTV Cribs too! It's just my opinion ...

I'm sure JV is going to tweek his future episodes. Starting with episode #3 I think.

One more thing, who made you the Al Sharpton of Revision 3 shows?

That's not entirely true. You don't see any hate for Scam School. Also, there are some great non-tech shows in Rev3 beta.Scam School isn't such a stretch from the days of the broken (yeah - all 4 episodes ... but just look what it spawned ;) ) in as much as it is a slicker version of 'social engineering' and has a similar appeal.

Looking at the comments in this thread, you'll see a lot of people who don't like things that are new. They need a nudge out of their comfort zones occassionally.

I suggested that they do a cheese show ... 'cos it would go well with the whine. God I hope the third new show is about cheese ...

[dirtyhat]

http://www.revision3beta.com/watch/bbb/

I will second that...

BTW I don't see a point in Revision Beta anymore if shows are gonna bypass it... Maybe a different show (CO-OP?) was "good enough" to go straight into the line-up but some other ones (JV) definitely need to be "tested" down at the Beta.

...Honestly, I would rather wanted BBB to be called up than JV. Maybe the people producing that show are content with the situation (as I don't know their contract terms) but I feel like BBB is getting short changed.

[dirtyhat]

Forgot to add...

I don't mind seeing different content i.e. not tech. While I love Tech there's only so much I can watch about it in a day. I am slowly replacing TV with Internet so it's good to have a variety.

[myketuna]

I didn't like the episode. The topic wasn't very good, and the JV wasn't very funny to me. I might tune into the episode where he supposedly gets into the Rev3 studios, maybe that will change it a bit. For now though, it's just another show on here I don't watch. *ahem*DiggReel*ahem* ..well that's not true. I watch the Sarah Lane ones. lol.

[arson0ner]

i am willing to see what else comes up. I watched some of those BBB episodes... That is what you picked as the JV killer. I feel like the jvsworld show will be much more entertaining in the longterm than:

Mmm, i like this tea... This dr pepper tastes different than this one (BBB first episode). Informative yes, exciting and/or entertaining no.

We'll see how it goes I guess.

[p0int]

i don´t think it was bad, but it NEEDS adjustments, remove the sound when cursing and saying orther word, but we must wait and see how next ep are gonna be.

BBB....really???

I’m really surprised that is the show you would compare this too. If I wanted to see two lame-asses talk about what they are drinking out of their fridge...well I guess I never watch a show based on what two lame-asses are drinking... the talent on their has no personality at all?
I'm going to stop there, cuz I’m now attacking someone else’s taste. If you think that show is dope, cool...I guess I don't get why people are going out of their way to put down a totally different kind of show, with a different vibe, and for a different audience...

Is it me or does the show try waaay to hard and just comes off as really hacky. It seems like this so called anger is forced and just isn't all that funny. If it came off as legitimate anger or emotion maybe people would like the show more. To me the show comes off as something that isn't real and fake controversy just to get a rise out of people.

Lately I've been thinking that rev3 as a brand needs to reach out to a wider audience. I'm not sure this is the right way, but I am willing to give it a couple episodes. A little rage is a good thing every once and a while.

[leorcastillo]

I'm thinking that all the negativity about this new show comes from one or all of the following three reasons:

1) It's new and most people have a tough time trying something new.

2) It's not about tech and I'm guessing there is a particular slant to most Revision3 visitors...mainly technology enthusiasts who are interested learning/hearing/watching shows about technology, or are interested in watching shows about guys discussing technology over beers.

3) Most of the guys here are brain dead and don't like and/or don't expect to stop by Rev3 to consume socially conscious or any kind of in-depth information here.

As a very infrequent visitor to Rev3 I will give my opinion and say that in order for Revision3 to be a thriving and viable Internet TV business, I think there's going to have to be a wider cross-section of shows available than just tech. Just like when you turn on the tube there are literally hundreds of shows available...you can do the same thing when you run into a show you don't like, change the channel! I for one will be stopping to check out what's going on in JV's World. DOGHOUSE WHAT!

[Asystole]

Scam School isn't such a stretch from the days of the broken (yeah - all 4 episodes ... but just look what it spawned ;) ) in as much as it is a slicker version of 'social engineering' and has a similar appeal.

Looking at the comments in this thread, you'll see a lot of people who don't like things that are new. They need a nudge out of their comfort zones occassionally.

I suggested that they do a cheese show ... 'cos it would go well with the whine. God I hope the third new show is about cheese ...

I see most of the dislike in this thread is centered around the show itself being bad... very few people are whining about the fact that it's not a tech show. I like things that are new and different.

I for one love shows that look at current affairs in a humorous or edgy way- I think "the show with ze frank" was the best example of that. This just isn't good. It feels incredibly forced. The host doesn't seem to have a point in particular, he just seems to like the sound of himself ranting. Also, MTV Cribs is probably the easiest target imaginable.

Mind you, this is just the first episode and if it somehow magically turns good as time goes on I will eat my words.

[kern802]

Are you high? Are you smoking dope? Dude that runs Revision3?! You let Martin and Sarah go so you can bring in shows like this? JV...eat shit and die.

QFT!!

[mavrevMatt]

Wow. That was a complete waste of my fucking time.

And this asshole doesn't even seem to care about us, the semi-loyal Revision3 viewers and community, based on his Tweets.

What a douche. Why the hell has Revision3 sunk to this level? If it's because revenues are down, hmmh let me think about that... Oh yeah, how about you shouldn't have cancelled great shows like Internet Superstar and PopSiren or have fired great talent like Sarah Lane, Martin Sargent, Jay Speiden, among others.

It's really not looking good for Revision3 right now... But I remain hopeful that the other two shows for May may turn out well. They both certainly sound better than this shit.

[TuxOtaku]

I feel I should add my two cents here.

JV and his show, like them or not, do not fit with the audience that Rev3 is used to. I feel as if they are shying away from the demographic that has carried them all this time. And while I am all for diversity, casting too broad a net scares away the fish.

I harbor no ill will towards JV, or to Rev3. I support them both, but in this case it just seems like a peanut butter and vegemite sandwich. Everyone loves peanut butter, and a lot of people either hate or love vegemite...but together they just do not work at all. They're too completely different things, just like what JV is doing with his show, and what Rev3 has done for so long. Rev3, for me, always had a direction, they always had a vision...it seems now, like they either want to abandon that.

All this being said though...I am VERY much looking forward to Film Riot. It looks much more to me like EXACTLY the kind of show from what I consider to be Rev3's "golden era" (that is to say, before the layoffs and cutbacks).

[arson0ner]

That is hilarious... If i read 15 pages of people talking shit... I would be pissed too... I might even tweet about it myself LOL!!! I am interested to see what happens @ 7...

[mavrevMatt]

I'm not calling him out on being pissed or Tweeting about it, but he's approaching it the wrong way. Rather then getting his fanboys to back him up on his little show tonight, he should be posting here and interacting with the community. That's a part of what makes new media what it is.

However, community interaction seems to be lacking at Revision3 in general, there are only a few hosts who actually post in their forums... So maybe I'm expecting too much.

[Bret]

wow, you cancelled other shows for this?

[SurfPark]

Yikes. I never thought Revision3 would put someone on just because they seem controversial. I think we all can agree that any program that flaunts wealth in the middle of a recession is a poor decision. No one is going to argue the point JV made, what we will argue is the delivery.

JV seems to one of those hot headed pundits that is supposed to be the voice of reason. I'm sorry Jim and Rev3, but our generation is so over the talking head that spouts editorial. Fox News has taught us that even the most passionate pundit can still be wrong. It becomes less about the topic and more about the fervor behind it.

Part of what makes IPTV special is that we view the hosts as people that are accessible. If JV acted that way within the Rev3 community, his behavior wouldn't be tolerated. This show is pandering and you know it. I know you're fishing for the next big hit, but seriously, we expected more.

This company and its programming has embraced interaction and discussion. JV's show seems to be a mindful editorial rant. I'm not sure if you're trying to evoke passionate responses or if you want to shock people, but the end results seems to be more worthy of someone's blog post than a real show. You can slap a lot of graphics over the sub par video, but its not going to change the format, which is one guy yelling at the camera.

I've seen this same type of show all over YouTube, and the polarizing responses lead many people to just avoid it. JV point is understood, but to start yelling at a faceless corporation over a show that was canceled 2 years ago (yes, no new episodes since 2007) is tired and immature.

[claret8211]

I really hope this no talent ass-hat isn't getting paid for this garbage.

[amon91]

OK, that show was far from good. In fact, this guy sounds like some idiot from YouTube (no offense) who just rants about things he doesn't know about. Apart from thinking his point is totally wrong, he's just not funny.

It would be a little better if you improved the content a little bit and made it less "trying-to-be-funny". Then I might find it better, but so far it's a thumbs down.

I really disliked this show, it's not funny, entertaining, or informative. The terrible graphics and sound board effects just isn't my style. Then repeating the same shit again and again doesn't make it funny.

cool show, but there's a lot of distracting animnations on screen, its just weird.

[dirtyhat]

BBB....really???

I’m really surprised that is the show you would compare this too.
In no way did I "compare" the two shows... I didn't even say one was better than the other... I was making the point that BBB has paid it's dues in being in the Beta program and hasn't seen anything else come of it. While, on the other hand, this show gets mostly horrible reviews and gets greenlit from the get go.
If I wanted to see two lame-asses talk about what they are drinking out of their fridge...well I guess I never watch a show based on what two lame-asses are drinking... the talent on their has no personality at all?
Not every show has to be balls to the wall hardcore all the time... for me. If thats what you need then that's a different story. I sometimes get bored watching BBB too, again I never said it was the best show out there. But at least they seem genuine, this guy is TRYING to be outrageous and obnoxious. Just be yourself... You can get your point across about hating MTV without sampling the same track a handful of times and yelling into a camera.

I'm going to stop there, cuz I’m now attacking someone else’s taste. If you think that show is dope, cool...
No worries... it is VERY hard to offend me :)

I guess I don't get why people are going out of their way to put down a totally different kind of show, with a different vibe, and for a different audience...
I don't think I went out of my way to put down the show, others might have, I dunno. It's not the content so much, which I do think is lacking still, but the premise of the show has potential. It's the obnoxious way it is presented. I like risque material/shows not obnoxious ones. But I even said in my first post in this thread... I dont pass judgement on a show till I see a few episodes. And said that he might even be a success because he sure has stirred up the forums. This is the hottest thread in here right now.

"Tell everyone that has something to say about my show-I'll b live today at 7PM http://www.jvsworld.com BRING IT BITCHES!!!" "Tell em all!! Call me tonight!!! If they have any balls!!!"

A chance to give feedback right to the creator...

Even this... it's just annoying. "BRING IT BITCHES" - "If they have any balls!!!" - he's already giving/expecting confrontation instead of maybe listening to criticism from a network of people that he joined, and he is the new one here. It's all just part of the "shock jock" mentality... unfortunately some of us see right through it.

[mavrevMatt]

Thanks for joining the community. Oh wait, you're just a tool doing whatever the fuck JV tells you.

This isn't helping his cause either, you're contributing to a horrible impression on the Revision3 audience with your crappy argument, spelling, and overall appearance having just registered today.

Oh brother, he's a terrestrial radio guy from WiLD 94.4 in SF? Now its making sense. No wonder I was getting that shock jock vibe from him.

[mavrevMatt]

He's only doing it to put on a show for you, his fanboys. If he was really concerned about addressing the problems we have with the show, he'd post here.

Well the argument made sense for the first half of the video...once he started making fun of people, he totally invalidated himself. Sorry for not clarifying.

[mavrevMatt]

If that's the case, it looks like Revision3 is in a downward spiral to the deadpool.
Hey Jimmy Louderback, I'm all for expanding your audience but are these the people you really want to attract? What a shit storm this has turned into.

This show blows. Bring back Martin and Sarah!

Another question. If this guy is so politically correct, why did he got fired for making inflammatory remarks about Asians? Is he only a "comedian" when convenient?

I didn't like the show at first, but now I can't stand the host. Yeah, people are complaining about the show, but rather than talking to the community he's saying if we have "balls" we'll call him.

Well, I have balls. So what's the number? We're the customers here and that's how he's acting rather than interacting with the community and discussing how to better the show?

He's the one that doesn't have balls. If he did he would be here talking to us.

[Dantex64]

Get rid of this show and work on bringing back a show that people like, and also what are these berks doing on our forums talking about how much they love him.

/Dante

[claret8211]

Did he sign a Rev 3 contract? I sure hope not. Rev3, count your losses, give this guy the curtain and move on, hopefully the next 2 new shows will = a win. Be smart about this, do you really want to anger and alienate your viewers?

[claret8211]

By the way, This Week in Fun is an awesome show, see what you missed out on? Laporte is a visionary, this show however shows no vision.

[SurfPark]

When Leo Laporte made the transition to radio and TV to podcasting, he was careful to understand how the different audiences would respond to him. As he's said many times on TWIT, the radio audience is different. I think JV's success on radio might be part of the reason they want him as talent on Rev3. He has a track record. The problem is that he's treating his show like a radio show, and its rubbed a lot of us the wrong way.

Before we go on insulting his character, let's look at the flaws of the format. Compared to Co-op, Diggnation, and Totally Rad Show, JV's World is downright confrontational. Its hard to make a show like this work in a community that's in love with the roundtable format and is much likely to discuss topics than have heated debates. If they can make this work, more power to them. I think the biggest mistake is letting JV have a one-way discussion with no breaking points. Something has to change.

[arson0ner]

He's not TRYInG too hard to be something... That is who he is... I know him very well. He's always interacting with people. Always cracking jokes and always has something to say. There is honestly a reason he was #1 in market 4 for for about 10 years.

Just how he rolls

[ZeroNeuro]

While I am not a fan of the new show - shock jocks are not my thing - what has astounded me is how this guy has reacted to criticism. He's acting like a child, and while I have no intention of "calling him out" or "having the balls" to face him tonight... One does have to wonder why such a confrontational attitude was taken at all.

He is trashing the Revision 3 fan base. Not just poking jibs at us, but outright calling us names and insulting us. This, I do not like.

He wants a reaction to his words? Fine. Here is my reaction: I'll not watch his shows. Nor will I follow him on Twitter. Nor will I ever care about him anymore in any aspect. You have to care enough about someone to get angry or attack them. I just don't care that much about this childish mini-shock poodle. *shrug*

Personally, I can only think he was a friend to someone at Revision 3 because this makes absolutely no sense as a show on this network. We have free speech in this country, and I applaud and love this about the USA. However, this content is not suited to this network. Especially in an edited form.

I cannot for the life of me see how this content is being ushered to the head of the line above all of the shows in beta. What is the use of even having the beta programming here at Revision 3 if you are going to bypass all of those shows to bring us... this?

Seriously, please think before you act. Do you want to increase revenue and numbers forsaking your loyal fans and content? Or do you want to increase the participation, revenue and VALUE of the network? Please make up your mind, Jim. You can do better than this.

I agree, it does not fit in here: it belongs on youtube with boxxy, or college humour with mr. Chi. I think more people have joined to complain about this show than have joined from "JV" 's fanbase.

/Dante

[mavrevMatt]

He's certainly not interacting with the Revision3 community. He's just putting on a show for his existing fans by calling on us to be his little toy.

[Mr. Underachiever]

After all this shit that's been going on in this thread, do you honestly think he would come here? And let's not act like even if he DID, the comments wouldn't be SEVERELY toned down.

I don't know, like I said before, I didn't hate it, and I don't think it's a good fit for Rev3, but I'll see what happens after the next couple of episodes air. Depending on what direction future episodes go in, it could have some potential.

[mavrevMatt]

I'd at least have some respect for him if he came and confronted us, rather than his fanboys for support.

First impressions are everything.

[the-rebel-alliance]

He's going to be polarizing, which I think is OK. Not everyone is going to like it. But JV's got a tremendous following and is very creative. This one's just the beginning, the next one will be even better.

Thanks everyone for giving it a shot. If you don't like this one, wait a week or two - we'll have another new show launch you might like better.

jim


is it about the following or is it about good content


how about a show following an up and coming band touring that could be interesting

[undergroundwire]

Another question. If this guy is so politically correct, why did he got fired for making inflammatory remarks about Asians? Is he only a "comedian" when convenient?

He got fired because of people like you who don't have a sense of humor. The remarks were not inflammatory. It's people like you who are making terrestrial radio suck. Lighten up and give him a chance before shooting him down after a 5 minute video that doesn't even show is true potential yet.

JV, your doing a great job and keep up the great work. Everyone else, check out JV weekdays on http://wild949.com/ from 6AM - 10AM PST.

[kingraf01]

I've never even heard of rev3 until JV mentioned it. What kind of "freedom of speech" supporters are here that have nothing but complaint's (oh i guess that is freedom of speech too huh? :D oops!) anyways why is everyone so hurt about JV's opinions? and Rev3 giving him a "channel"?

Anyway's I'm not on here to pick fights with others, to each their own but to say JV is the downfall of Rev3 (AGAIN never heard of it till now), he's just a child, this show has no vision, Rev3 count your losses, etc..... btw I didn't go through all 19 pages of complaints just the first few and well "wow...."

Just so you know, and hopefully give JV another chance, JV is an awesome radio dj, his SELF PRODUCED vids are great, so yea a hard worker, has done a lot for the community and others, has a great sense of humor if you can IDENTIFY jokes, and just speaking the truth here. Really, MTV Cribs Teens? Yes we have a right to not watch that show or in this case the JV Show. Me? I'm sticking by JV and hope others learn to appreciate his humor and talent.

Oh and wtf is a "berk"????

Keep the shows coming JV and thank you for introducing us to Rev3, I like the site so far and thanks to YOU I definitely will check this site out more and see for myself what else is here to ALSO enjoy with JV's World.

So if I don't like it that he called someone a "****ot" just because they called in and that he did an extremely racist prank call saying stuff like "You are a very nice Chinese man… probably can't drive for shit, but who cares," I don't have a sense of humor?

Did I say I were personally offended? No. I was pointing out that if he were so politically correct he wouldn't have made those comments. Please read before you post.

[andarnold]

What is the point of this show? Is it just going to be a weekly commentary on things this guy doesn't like, or is it actually going to develop into something people want to watch?

Personally I think he over did it a bit, but eh, it wasn't the worst thing I've watched. I'd like to see what Ep 2 is going to be about before I make any further judgements.

[joshmattvander]

I think all of the back and forth... Is kind of ridiculous at this point.

If you do like the show, then you like the show. Nobody is going to convince someone otherwise with a post. I enjoy JV and most of his content, I know that he isn't trying to be something he is not... As he is my brother, he is that way, sarcastic etc... all of the time.

In all fairness. It is something new, for Rev3. I have been a Rev3 fan since damn near day 1. No need in defending taste or otherwise. I hope that in time you guys either understand the humor and see something you like and if not, no harm no foul I guess everyone has their tastes. Can't always judge something the first shot out.

I am going to keep watching the shows I liked before, and I hope to see more of JV on here too. That's just my 2 cents.

Now everyone just have a beer relax, this is too intense for a monday!!!

[ZeroNeuro]

I've never even heard of rev3 until JV mentioned it. What kind of "freedom of speech" supporters are here that have nothing but complaint's (oh i guess that is freedom of speech too huh? :D oops!) anyways why is everyone so hurt about JV's opinions? and Rev3 giving him a "channel"?


One thing to note here is that Revision 3 is a community, not just an audience. People interact, take part in discussions, and are social with each other (as much as you can be online).

You cannot just come into the house and steal all the beer, kick the dog off the couch and claim it as your own. You have to respect the community. There was none of that respect shown to anyone in this community. JV is not even posting here himself.

I mean to be frank, it's not your standard audience. We are slowly losing that community feel and some of us are jumping ship. So of course you're going to get negative reactions from people you have no respect for.

[tenny]

So if I don't like it that he called someone a "****ot" just because they called in and that he did an extremely racist prank call saying stuff like "You are a very nice Chinese man… probably can't drive for shit, but who cares," I don't have a sense of humor?

How was it "extremely racist prank"? Do you know what actually happened? Do you know who originally voice the prank? Most likely not.

[Guytheninja]

Just so you know, and hopefully give JV another chance, JV is an awesome radio dj, his SELF PRODUCED vids are great, so yea a hard worker, has done a lot for the community and others, has a great sense of humor if you can IDENTIFY jokes, and just speaking the truth here. Really, MTV Cribs Teens? Yes we have a right to not watch that show or in this case the JV Show. Me? I'm sticking by JV and hope others learn to appreciate his humor and talent.


I don't like shock jocks at all. They are definitely not my thing. I tend to like self-depreciating humor like the late Chris Farley's work rather than this type of "humor".

Anyway, I do not think that first impressions are everything. I will watch episode 4 and episode 7 before I make a final decision. But I have to admit, I'm not holding my breath.

[mavrevMatt]

That 5 minute video was his choice to be the first time we see him and the show. If that's not his "true potential" he should have picked better.
He got fired because of people like you who don't have a sense of humor. The remarks were not inflammatory. It's people like you who are making terrestrial radio suck. Lighten up and give him a chance before shooting him down after a 5 minute video that doesn't even show is true potential yet.

It's done in jest. How many comedians make fun of other races, religion and political figures? Don't take things so serious; you'll live longer.

[trunolimit]

That's an excellent post.

That will go down as one of Revision3's greatest mistakes. They let go of two of the most talented and loved internet personalities.

Now, Leo Laporte was smart enough to snatch them up and are now doing a show called This Week in Fun. http://www.twit.tv

i'm a huge twit fan but i got to say i'm not to sure about twif. i have listen to a couple of episodes and it seems a bit rough around the edges. but with a bit of polishing it could really shine.

this guy JV however is really annoying and who cares what MTV is showing. dude what gave you the impression that anyone who watches rev3 shows still watches mtv? TV is dead the internet television revolution is here. i agree with everyone. jv's world = not funny or informative.

[Guytheninja]

JV's World is just one of three great show launches coming from Revision3 in May. The upcoming Film Riot show harkens back to original Revision3 programming, with a geek/tech sensibility (albeit about movie making special effects), engaging passionate hosts, and an entertaining way to learn something new.

Check out this story for more details - http://tinyurl.com/filmriot

Oh, and you'll probably enjoy next Monday's new show too...

jim

Filmriot looks like it has potential. I am also interested in what the "monday show" will be as well :D.

[the-rebel-alliance]

if he's gonna stay around for more than 2 episodes i would like a show reboot cause the format is nothing i could watch for more than 30 seconds

[Murphy1d]

I liked the show.

BUT, I enjoyed it like I enjoy Cheez-its. It's not a fucking meal.

[fattema]

Hey JV I liked what you had to say. I actually didnt watch your video here, but on Ebaumsworld. I agree that MTV is just teaching selfishness. If they're Young and Hip and People Conscience then they'd do something to help kids and their families from forclosure or something instead of starting a new show call Teen Cribs. Its fuckin stupid!
Thank You for Speaking Up.

[mavrevMatt]

Hey! Another mindless fanboy, thanks for posting yourJV's thoughts!

Ebaumsworld definetly shouldn't be where Revsion3 is getting their audience...

[Klitzy]

Wow. Oh wow. Oh wow. I am absolutely embarrased that I just watched this podcast on revision3, a company that I loved and still love. This is an embarassing shot to the revision3 viewers and the revision3 community. You guys have awesome programming, diggnation, scam school, tekzilla, you know...even the shows I don't watch...I understand why people watch them but this one, this is gross.

He is not funny. He is not entertaining. He seems like an arrogant ass. Yuck. Nothing was good about this. Nothing.

You have someone like Zack Luye sitting on revision3 beta with an awesome show and you choose this guy to advertise on your main page?

You get rid of Marty's shows for this?

Major problems in this new show and call me close minded, call me a bad viewer, but I will not even give the second episode a chance. If a show is bad...I give it another chance. This was beyond "bad."

[Guytheninja]

While I am not a fan of the new show - shock jocks are not my thing - what has astounded me is how this guy has reacted to criticism. He's acting like a child, and while I have no intention of "calling him out" or "having the balls" to face him tonight... One does have to wonder why such a confrontational attitude was taken at all.

He is trashing the Revision 3 fan base. Not just poking jibs at us, but outright calling us names and insulting us. This, I do not like.


I noticed this too, and I agree with you. I don't think it is a good idea to make fun of the Rev3 community. However, isn't this the way shock jocks work? Aren't they supposed to make people furious -- so that you will watch next week to see what they are up to?

I don't know, maybe this guy is a cash cow. Maybe he has a gigantic following of people who will download his show along with other Rev3 shows. We'll see I guess; I sure hope that the Rev3 bigwigs know what they are doing!

[xibalba]

If you don't like the show don't watch it, don't comment on it, and if it has bad viewer #s it will go away. Some people need to grow up.

[the-rebel-alliance]

he's calling the internet bastards live and hasnt said something to win me back yet so as the internet would say

/fail

[nintendoxwii]

I don't think he is going to make it long on this network. Calling us bastasrds and all.

[nintendoxwii]

I do agree you guys were a bit violent with your words. "With your underwear yanked up over your head, getting you eyes poked." - JV

[Phatlip]

This guy is an asshole. He's insulting all of the Revision3 community right now.

Why don't you come in here and talk to us? Grow a pair and come in here?

How do you call in to this ass?

[sonic-mike]

Common friendos Give JV a chance bitches.


Jeff I'll be listening at 6am tomorrow and every day,I'm glad your back in the bay.

[tromoly]

He got fired because of people like you who don't have a sense of humor. The remarks were not inflammatory.

Nope, not true, on his call he "made racist and sexist comments against Asian Americans, including mocking the Asian American accent and sexual innuendos over “hot and spicy” Asian women." (Source: http://www.reappropriate.com/?p=675) I'm searching for any type of audio, I'll post it if I find anything.

[undergroundwire]

I don't think he is going to make it long on this network. Calling us bastasrds and all.

Well aren't you? Wonder why you are still listening. Are you one of those idiots that will listen to everything he has to say so you can pick on it?

Also, learn to spell, BASTARD.

[undergroundwire]

You work for the OCA or are you a sensitive little bitch?

I actually have the audio because I think its funny, just like I find your mother's penis funny.

[tenny]

Yeah it's funny that these people say the episode is bad, but yet they still tune in to listen to him on jvsworld.com

[eseymour]

well, I retract my previous claim of giving this guy a chance, a friend dropped me a link to his live radio show which is on revision3 users, and he's being a complete douche.

I thought he might be an alright guy, but the way he is acting now is just..annoying.

[Phatlip]

So this guy says if we have balls we'll call in but he doesn't post a number and doesn't post in this thread.

Whatever. If he's not going to grow a pair I'm just going to ignore this and do my homework.

[xxparker]

serriously.. i jus watched jvs clip about mtv air-ing teen cribs he is so serriosly right. i totally agree.... look at the depression we are in.. it serriously has hit rock bottom..... mtv should bann teen cribs... its serriously making us NORMAL people fell not as rich how we wish we could be like those bastard teens who showing off there sos calld cribs... i mean serriously a freakn 17yr has a lamborghini and porsche. come on mtv. lets be real. how many 17yr u see 2day driving around in thos fancy wancy rides...... teens these days would obviously crash there car first time learning how to drive.. y would a freakn 17yr old be driving an expensive freakn can knowing the fact that an average teen would get into car accidents becare of stupid reasons... such as these...


More than half (56 percent) of young drivers use cell phones while driving,
69 percent said that they speed to keep up with traffic
64 percent said they speed to go through a yellow light.
47 percent said that passengers sometimes distract them.
Nearly half said they believed that most crashes involving teens result from drunk driving.
(bottom line, teens houldnt be driving expensive rides because of these facts)

serriously mtv teen crib stop air-ig teen cribs and makng us poor people felling all bad as were not all already..... at least air an 2day crises or at least somethign more realistic i give

PROPS to JV 4 al least going down to mtv and trying to give mtv a piece of his mind... U ROCK JV....!!!! KEEP IT UP... !!!!!!

THE ####?
get some education. PLEASE.

[mavrevMatt]

How is that funny? We're listening to his responses because he's too much of a pussy to show his face on the forums and actually interact with us.

Plus it's fun to see him ensure his cancellation.
Yeah it's funny that these people say the episode is bad, but yet they still tune in to listen to him on jvsworld.com

Keep listening dick. He doesn't want to rip you a new one live because he is trying to work with you a - holes.

[mavrevMatt]

We are listening, and he's not going to do it because he's got no balls.

How about thinking for yourself, rather than doing everything he says and sticking up for this douche?

Wow nice comeback. Score one for the virgin. The fact is the majority of normal people out there would never have heard of this Revision 3 site if it weren't for JV. Sorry for invading your realm of fantasy.

[xxparker]

I really think if JV wants us to give him another chance then he should stop talking like he is.

i'll watch probably 3 more episodes because the 3rd episode is going to be done in the rev3 studios. but i don't know if i can watch someone who calls us baby weiners.

[Phatlip]

Keep listening dick. He doesn't want to rip you a new one live because he is trying to work with you a - holes.

Yeah, that's why he's calling us fagots, bitches, dicks etc. Good point.

[tromoly]

You work for the OCA or are you a sensitive little bitch

Nope, I actually respect people.

[mavrevMatt]

If you're the "normal people" of the world, then I'm just fine with you staying the fuck out of here, and out of my life.

If you guys, and JV, actually cared about getting another chance and some acceptance you'd stop with the bullshit comebacks and insults. Or at least, I'd hope that you can come up with something better than "nice one virgin lol".
Wow nice comeback. Score one for the virgin. The fact is the majority of normal people out there would never have heard of this Revision 3 site if it weren't for JV. Sorry for invading your realm of fantasy.

True I had no clue what revision 3 was before he mentioned it on the air/net.


all you other virgins complaining about his first show make a video and lets see if YOU kids can make a better video crying like a bitch about his show.

So he can call us fagots, bitches, and dicks (only the tip of the ice berg) but we can't give it back?

[mavrevMatt]

Is this really the kind of shit that Revision3 wants associated with them?

[the-rebel-alliance]

Well said and tune in to http://wild949.com every weekday from 6AM - 10AM PST for a really good show.

serious question

do you work for him? or are you just a fanboy?

[masherscf]

Not in the forum.

[redescape]

Rev3, I usually won't write in the forums(that say's something). Some may say - any press is good press - but this is truly hurting your credibility for high quality internet content. I would suggest telling him to shut his face and be helpful to the community.

Now maybe if this was Martin ;) we'd have a different story

-David

[undergroundwire]

Well get a show of your own and do it. Otherwise keep it movin. According to the mod no trolls allowed.

[mavrevMatt]

He's a part of the Revision3 network now. Where the hell are we supposed to respond to his shit then?

[Phatlip]

Not in the forum.

Fine. Then I suggest everyone here contact Revision3's sponsors and tell them how you feel about Revision3. Who are their venture capitalist again?

[mavrevMatt]

Then you should have been banned as soon as you got here.

I am a New Yorker and like listening to a good show. In other words I am not sensitive, seriously.

[chuckles]

I really don't understand all the hate. Sure the show is a little different. If you don't like it, we have plenty of other shows to offer and more to come.

Different strokes for different folks. :)

-chuckles-

[wordsellmo7]

Finally got on here JV from the bay area also like him on his past which im talking about the

Doghouse is and to me all ways will be amazing.

[Phatlip]

Customers? Am I paying for this right now? It's a serious question as I am new to this Revision 3 site.

Yes customers. Revision3 targets their advertisements to us. I often purchase the products advertised. I won't anymore and I'll be telling those sponsors why.

[esophagus]

Jesus you guys are whiney.

They problem is Revision3 used to have a line-up where every fan liked every show. They're not that company anymore. They don't WANT to be. They're making quality shows for a wider range of people.

Get over it.

Don't like the show? Don't watch it. Don't like that Martin Sargeant doesn't work here anymore? Build a time machine or shut up.

[joshmattvander]

Here is his wife seriously ... http://www.natashayionline.com/images/news/58126.jpg

Well said. When I check out the other "shows" on this site and I see something I don't like; guess what, I'll change the channel. Kinda like TV. What a great idea. Trust me, if I don't like something, I am not complain about it because I have a life.

[Phatlip]

You know how this works Phatty. There's no rules against disagreeing with someone. Just keep it civil. Put those golden writing skills to the test.

I know Masher, I'll keep things civil. I almost lost my cool but went back and made an edit to one of my posts. :)

[undergroundwire]

Sure blows away the whole hating asians thing doesn't it.. HAHA

Wow, JV is a racist and married an Asian? I wonder if all the jokes were just jokes. Hmmm. Let me think about that for a sec.
