I Want My Juvie TV!

There's a new series called Juvie, coming out next month on MTV (Hat tip: Hasdai).

From the MTV.com preview:
What happens when otherwise good kids have a run-in with the law? Every young person who has ever driven too fast, drank too much, or left a party right before the cops came will relate to the gritty new documentary series "Juvies." Welcome to Indiana's Lake Country Juvenile Center, where first-time offenders wait to discover their fates. With unprecedented access, the show follows their day-to-day life in the center and in court -- where it is up to one judge to decide their fate.

The best I can tell, it's combination of Judge Judy, Sally Jessie Raphael (the ones where they send the kids to the boot camps) and My Super Sweet 16.

Apparently the show will focus on 16 kids who get sent through a juvenile facility in northwest Indiana. The show starts airing on Feb. 8th and it looks like there will be 8 episodes.

Even before the show's been aired, which was supposed to start back in September, there's already a controversy. Apparently there's even been a lawsuit which has swept up some gossip bloggers.

I just hope this show lives up to all this hype!
