All Coreys, All The Time

You may have read in this weeks magazine about A&E’s new series The Two Coreys, and how it compares to the independent documentary film Corey and Corey. 
The creators of Corey and Corey have a blog, which they use as a means of attacking A&E for “ripping off” their idea, and where they feature their film. 
Ultimately the issue of whether or not there was plagiarism is still dicey for the moment, as the A&E show has yet to premiere, and as a result there is no way to compare the two. However, I am including below a preview clip of A&E’s show The Two Coreys, a short clip from the film Corey and Corey, and links to both the film’s blog, and A&E’s Two Corey’s site. Examine the content for yourselves, and feel free to comment.

The Coreys were on the Opie & Anthony show this morning and they were just insufferably annoying. Worst Radio Ever. I changed the channel and listened to Jim Gaffigan tell jokes that I have memorized from his CD because that was more entertaining. I don't know whether or not anything was ripped off, copied, plagiarized or whathave you -- I just know that I won't watch this show for either love or money based upon their appearance this morning. They need to fade back into the annals of "I love the 80s" where in tiny doses they're somewhat interesting.
