TUTV has a new show on our programming schedule, this time a spoof of every college girl’s favorite guilty pleasure TV show. Dream Man is a sitcom about the production of a show similar to The Bachelor, except that all of the girls hate the man for whom they’re supposed to be competing.
Created by Temple students Holly Guepfel and Sam Berit, Dream Man works as a show-within-a-show, depicting both the dating reality show and the behind the scenes reality of the production. Watch the trailer above, and tune in to TUTV on Wednesday, February 7 at 1 and 9 p.m. to see the premiere.
On a new episode of The Vibe, host Nydja Hood sits down with Will Toms, a Temple grad and co-founder of Philly-based hip hop agency Rec Philly, and Ernest Owens, journalist and editor Philadelphia Magazine’s G Philly section. Together they first discuss the recent sexual harassment allegations coming to light in the entertainment industry; later, they outline the history of Atlanta hip hop. For the Poetry Spotlight and musical act portion of the show, Philly activist and Temple student Osimiri Sprowal reads his work, and local neo soul/hip hop act Illadel Sol performs their music in front of the live studio audience.
Watch on Comcast 50, Verizon 45 or online this coming Wednesday, February 7 at 2 and 10 p.m.

#YearOfGrog is a year-long series of new sketches by the creators of Grog Show featuring their unique brand of off-beat humor and surreal shenanigans. Starting now, we’ll have a new set of Grog sketches for you to watch each month of this year.
The first installment appears below and includes the sketches “Billboard,” “Where Has Grog Been?” and “Will You Be in Our Movie?” Watch now:
Also, a lot of rumors have been swirling around about what happened to the Grog Show cast and creators since leaving Temple and ceasing Grogperations. This should clear all of that up.
The release date of the fourth adaptation of A Star is Born is set for this year, directed by none other than Philly’s own Bradley Cooper, and this time starring Lady Gaga as the titular star. Since the prototypical Hollywood fable is coming (back) soon to a theater near you, it seems high time to go all the way back to the beginning, to a 1937 Technicolor picture produced by David O. Selznick. The original stars Janet Gaynor as an idealistic aspiring actress who finds success, but at what cost? Tune in to TUTV Sunday, February 4 at 1 and 9 p.m. to find out.

A new student documentary coming to TUTV this week explores the roots of an urban legend in Delaware County.

The short film was produced and directed by Shane Duffner, Kelsey LeMunyon, Alex Littleton, Dave Petrozziello, and Shawn Reasin for Dr. Kristine Weatherston’s Genres of Media Production class.
Tune in Friday, January 26 at 12:30 and 8:30 p.m. to see the TUTV premiere of Tiny Town.
New program Brand Hotel is here to help you differentiate between the product and the brand. Steve McLean, a Professor in the Advertising department at Temple University, assembled a panel of industry experts to discuss branding and how it’s done.
Rob Linsalata from “M”, Will Chapman from Penthera, and Karen Crane from Crane Communications discuss how pink products raising breast cancer awareness have become ubiquitous, from Delta’s pink plane to KFC’s pink bucket to a pink gun. Has cause-related marketing gone too far? They also dissect how we evaluate the marketing of food products for children. Later, Steve is joined by Finnian Saylor and Victoria Bak, Temple University Advertising students, who talk in depth about advertising language.
Watch Brand Hotel on TUTV this Wednesday, January 17 at 1 and 9 p.m.
