The Hard Times of RJ Berger



The Hard Times Of RJ Berger is an MTV series that will premiere in June 2010.

The series orbits the hilariously-hellish lives of nerdy RJ Berger, (played by Paul Iacono) and his scheming, sex-obsessed best friend, Miles Jenner (played by Jareb Dauplaise). Other than pining after the girl of his dreams, Jenny Swanson, (played by Amber Lancaster), receiving daily beatings from the meanest jock in school, Max Owens, (played by Jayson Blair), and evading the stalker-ish advances of Lily Miran (played by Kara Taitz), there really isn't much excitement in RJ's life. That is, until his anatomical gift (he's got a long schlong) is accidentally exposed to the entire school.

In a single moment, RJ goes from anonymous to infamous, and for the first time in his life, he feels a tiny sliver of confidence. Swept up in this man-sized wave of recognition, we'll watch RJ claw his way out of the popularity basement. Whether it's trying to get laid, dealing with his bizarre parents, or simply navigating the treacherous waters of sophomore year, RJ will live out the stories -- good, bad and ugly -- that we all remember from high school. One mis-adventure at a time, we'll see him grow from a shy, awkward boy into a slightly less shy and awkward young man. Part The Wonder Years and part Superbad, The Hard Times Of RJ Berger is a loud, funny, raunchy, sexy look at the life of lovable loser.
