Our buddies over at Cinematical are wondering whether this is a sign of the apocalypse. '80s teen-age pin-ups Corey Haim and Corey Feldman are teaming up for a television show. They are going to star as fictionalized versions of themselves (think: Curb Your Enthusiasm but probably without the improv). The show starts with Feldman living with his wife and son in the suburbs, when Corey Haim drops in and turns their lives upside down. Word is the production studio behind this project starts pitching it to networks tomorrow (this sounds like a VH1 program to me). Back in the '80s, the duo starred in License to Drive, The Lost Boys and Dream a Little Dream. The pair was friends in real life until Haim got too deeply into drugs while Feldman cleaned up his act.Did anyone else rip pictures of these two (especially Haim) out of teeny bopper magazines and pin them on their wall?

I pray this isn't a success. I really don't want to see the Brat Pack on "Surreal Life", "A Very Cosby Christmas", and "After ALF".

Didn't Robot Chicken make a joke about the Coreys having a show together?

I find this a little sad, for Corey Haim and Corey Ferguson should have paced their acting careers a lot better after those '80s films. They weren't all that interesting to me back then, so why do they think that anybody's going to like them again?

Hey, dont knock it... no one thought that Two & a Half Men (Charlie Sheen & Jon Cryer) would get off the ground, and its a smash hit! So, if it works for them, great... if not, at least they gave it a try.

Well, although I liked these two back in the 80's, this may very well be like a horribly bad train wreck, leaving us unable to look away from the carnage. I can't help but hope for the best for these two,though, seeing as how they've been through so much in the past. Good luck guys!

First off. Feldman was the hot one not Haim. EWWWWWWW
Secondally, I think if they don't try TO hard that it could have a shot. Please God tell me Corey's real life wife & son will not be in it. Live that to the real actors.

Corey Haim was trying to sell a wisdom tooth on e-bay. i believe it was for drug money. this was not to long ago. a year or so ago. not sure. he looked like a strung out crackhead skinny dirtbag. i'd like to see if he cleaned his act up and what he looks like today. feldman will do anything for money. all he did was whine on the surreal life.

I think maybe the show would be better if the corey's were living thier life as male strippers..hee hee and we got a peak at there jobs and how they handle everyday life as MALE sex objects... that are room mates and to add a little twist.. maybe thay can be gay roomies.....kinda like will and grace but with corey and corey....But then again, I liked Broke back mountain myself...( I am laughing here)

I liked these guys back then. And they worked great together, so really I'm pulling for them. I'm hoping they can show everyone that you can come after a dark time in your life

Anyone ever see a little movie called "Stand By Me?" Cory Feldman can actually act.

No...wasn't a Corey fan (either one) -- had C. Thomas Howell all over the walls. Now there's someone who should have chosen better projects the farther he got into his career!!

Finally Haim is getting another chance, good for him!
Everybody knows, BOTH boys have talent, and BOTH delved heavily into drugs, so why then did they only ask Feldman to be on the Surreal Life?! Haim was the hot one after all.......and Robert Downey Jr. got like a trillion chances!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
