MVP: He Shoots, She Scores on ABC

Importing a Canadian prime-time soap to a country already deluged with homegrown drivel, on June 20^th ABC subjected viewers at 10:00 p.m. ET to a “special” episode of MVP: He Shoots, She Scores – a program which has richly earned the title of Worst TV Show of the Week.

MVP, which only survived a single season on its native Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, has been scooped up by American cable network SoapNet. Shown in the wake of the Daytime Emmy awards (and undoubtedly intended to promote SoapNet to prime-time viewers), this episode was given an encore showing on ABC. The series follows, in gauzy detail, the players of the fictional Mustangs hockey team -- and more importantly their wives, girlfriends and groupies, known as “puck bunnies.”

In the opening sequence, aging team captain Adam McBride snorts cocaine in seclusion while his wife hosts a party downstairs. Meanwhile his teenage daughter Molly straddles a caterer’s waiter in her bedroom, hiding him under the bed when her father comes knocking. A few moments later, Adam collapses over the balcony, dead from a heart attack.

The show blends soap-like melodramatic silliness – Adam gives his darling daughter Molly a key that twinkles like a magic star – with the sexually graphic exploits of team “players” like Damon Trebuchet, who videotapes his sexual trysts and sticks the home movie into a cabinet packed with dozens of similar videos. After picking up a woman at his teammate’s memorial service, Damon labels the video “Funeral Chick.”

Perhaps SoapNet should send this import back.  For graphic depictions of sex, drug use and hockey,  MVP: He Shoots, She Scores deserves the title Worst TV Show of the Week.
