Ok, sure I’m shocked that MTV is actually producing a show I am really looking forward to; but let’s move right along. The more important point is that the new “The Buried Life” show (scheduled to first air January 19) is about something pretty simple but powerful (Why do I feel like I have to write “but” between the words “simple” and “powerful”?) idea: “What do you want to do before you die?”.
This kind of show (especially being that it is produced by MTV) could have easily become another kind shallow show covering topics from our consumerism based society, but I am pleased that the show’s producers have realized people (I guess even MTV fans) are interested in more deep human experiences. In one of the show’s stories, for example, the show flew, via airplane, a daughter who could not afford the travel costs to visit to her parent’s grave that she had yet to visit; and that she wanted to visit before she died.
