Cuff’d is what happens when “Campus PD” meets “Taxicab Confessions” meets “Cops”. According to the show’s summary, this half-hour block of reality programming “takes an inside look at what happens between the time young offenders are arrested and arrive at the police precinct for booking.” I watched the premiere episode and although the description is completely accurate, I prefer my reality TV with less “cautionary tale” and more mindless fun. Just a personal preference.

You may not have heard of MTV’s newest attempt to avoid showing music videos (they’ve been doing it for years, addressing it won’t change anything, but it’s fun to do it anyway) because it airs at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT….not exactly prime time programming. But if you’re already watching “Ridiculousness” or “Death Valley”, and you’re into documentaries about arrested youth, then hanging out in MTV territory for an extra hour (or less) won’t kill you.

This ‘Public Drunk’ clip from the show will probably help you make a definitive ‘yay’ or ‘nay’ vote for this show. Either way…enjoy!
