Warren the Ape is an MTV reality show parody which ran from June 14 to August 30, 2010 and aired at 10:30 p.m. The series is a spin-off of the IFC and Fox TV show Greg the Bunny, and follows the titular character's life as he tries to get his life back together following the cancellation of Greg the Bunny. Warren has paid more attention to drugs, booze, and women than his career, which has degenerated into a series of seedy exploitation films, obscure industrials, low-rent theater productions, and a regrettable string of skin flicks. With the help of his addiction specialist, Dr. Drew Pinsky, Warren tries to clean up his act, patch up his relationships, and claw his way back into the Hollywood limelight.

Introducing "Barely Famous": a docu-style comedy series. This show explores the hypocrisy of reality TV by centering around two sisters who say they would never do a reality show, but are being filmed by a camera crew. Over the course of the season, we’ll follow Erin and Sara as they navigate the treacherous LA waters of building a career, dating, and simultaneously trying to prove that they’re “normal”. Each episode of Barely Famous will skewer Hollywood stereotypes and comment on the world of celebrity through the eyes of two D-Listers, desperately trying to insist they don’t care about “Lists” while also trying to get on the A-List. By breaking the 4th wall and occasionally telling both the crew and network to cut, no reality convention is too sacred, and our girls point out the absurdity of the medium itself.

The number 16 is cursed, not sweet, for women in the Walker family, according to single mother Maddy Walker. She is convinced in the existence of the "Walker women's curse" because she was born when her mother Loretta was 16, and Maddy gave birth to her daughter, Shante, at the same age. Maddy refuses to allow Shante to follow that pattern as her dreaded 16th birthday approaches. At the teen's sweet 16 party, things get complicated when Maddy, who is dating Cedric, sees her high school flame --Shante's father Victor-- and old feelings resurface, which lead to a romantic encounter. The moment of weakness results in Maddy learning, at the age of 32, that she has once again become pregnant by Victor. As the family encounters the highs and lows of the surprising pregnancy, they discover that starting over might not be as bad as they had anticipated.
