MTV Still Wants To Air DJ AM Sobriety Show 

MTV is still planning to (or at least wants to) air the DJ AM-hosted show Gone Too Far, an intervention-styled reality series that was shot just before AM’s death last month from a suspected drug overdose.

MTV has reportedly been in talks with AM’s family about the idea and won’t announce an airdate until his estate officially signs off on it. An MTV spokesman would only say that no final determination has been made on the show’s future.

This is just our opinion, but they might want to change the name of the show, considering AM died.

All told, DJ AM appeared in eight episodes of Gone, which was supposed to debut Oct. 5 but was indefinitely shelved after he was found dead on Aug. 28.

Even though the notion of the demon-battling AM (real name Adam Goldstein) as a tough-love, clean-and-sober consigliere confronting abusers to help them overcome their addictions might seem hypocritical, MTV has never shied away from controversy.

Well, is the show hypocritical or would it just emphasize that deadliness of a drug addiction? Or is it hoping to make some bucks off of AM’s death?

And capitalizing on dearly departed celebs is nothing new. For weeks now, Sony has been tirelessly hyping the Michael Jackson concert doc This Is It, debuting next month.
