Joey Buttafuoco and Amy Fisher's reunion...now a REALITY SERIES?!?

[Brian Damage]

The world's first reality TV couple, "Long Island Lolita" Amy Fisher and the seriously questionable object of her desire, Joey Buttafuoco, captivated America with their sordid tale of statutory rape and attempted murder in the early 1990s.

It was "Blind Date" (teenage Amy meets middle-age Joey) meets "The Bachelor" (Joey promises to love her forever) meets "Survivor" (Joey's wife Mary Jo lives after being shot in the face by Amy).

Talk about a match made in hell.

Fisher served seven hard years in prison for shooting Mary Jo, while Buttafuoco skated by with just four months for statutory rape.

Since then, Amy got married (her husband has just filed for divorce). Joey got divorced, remarried and his second wife has just filed for divorce. He's also been sent to jail three more times for various run-ins with the law, including soliciting a prostitute.

Unbelievable.

Now comes word that these two will tape dates in the hopes some lame-brained producer will go for a reality show based on their courtship/reunion on some lame-brained network.

It's no wonder, then, that this master plan comes from producer David Krieff, the same guy who was to fund former *NSYNC boy-bander Lance Bass' trip to the Russian space station Mir.

That rocket never took off. What a surprise.

Whatever happened to that $20 million the Russians were promised for delivering Bass to outer space? Perhaps Krieff was holding on to it for the mound of legal woes that are bound to follow any project that involves Joey Buttafuoco and his paramour.

You see, this is the problem we have when there are just too many channels on the tube, too many Web sites looking for content and too many digital and high definition startups looking to make a splash.

Fifteen years ago, the very idea of this type of dreck finding itself on a television network, broadcast or cable, would never get past the napkin pitch. Never mind getting the green light anywhere.

I can't even believe I'm writing a column about these two losers.

No, Amy Fisher and Joey Buttafuoco will not have their own reality show. Britney Spears and Kevin Federline's didn't survive a full season; I can't imagine this one would go beyond the pilot episode.

Besides, what with so many shock-and-awe type shows already come and gone, like "Jackass," "Fear Factor" and countless others, even shooting each other in the face on their third date won't do anything to boost the ratings on this dud.

There's nothing left to shock us.

Just when you think today's TV can't sink any lower, it does. What have we done to deserve this!?

I had heard Joey on Howard Stern last week. I was like WTF when it was said that he and Amy were going out to dinner.

Last night on INSIDER they showed the two walking arm in arm into a fancy steakhouse. Amy gave Joey a peck on the cheek. She also had recent plastic surgery to get bigger boobs. She is recently separated from her husband. He is recently separated. Howard Stern and the crew were telling Joey, how can you even think abt going out to dinner with the girl who shot your wife and tried to kill her? SHE TRIED TO KILL THE MOTHER OF YOUR CHILDREN!!!!!! It was said to him over and over and over again. His reply:

"My kids are in their twenties and they can adjust. It won't affect them MUCH." uke: WHAT A STUPID BASTARD!!!!!!!

I give kudos to Mary Jo for getting together with Amy and coming to some sort of forgiveness. However, when that occurred there was nothing but bad blood between Amy and Joey. I can't figure out how Joey went from a despicable, disgusting person to a guy you end up going out on a date with? Those were Amy's words to Joey last year when Joey, Amy and Mary Jo appeared on Entertainment Tonight.

Joey even stated on Howard Stern that he wouldn't mind having a sexual relationship with Amy again.

I totally agree with Irene. They deserve each other - just wish they'd go away and leave the rest of us alone!!

Tonight on Entertainment Tonight, Mary Jo introduced her new man in her life. He seemed very kind and loving and he said he doesn't understand why Joey threw this beautiful lady (Mary Jo) away...smart man.
