After a slew of reality show successes like The Hills, My Super Sweet 16 and Rob & Big, this fall MTV returns to the sitcom with Kaya. The half-hour drama revolves around the world of Kaya (Danielle Savre), a young musician whose life is forever changed when she skyrockets to celebrity status virtually overnight. Kaya is managed by her often self-serving father Don (who is totally not based on Joe Simpson), a former supermarket meat manager who must eventually choose between his own newfound success and his daughter. Presented through a series of flashbacks, present day scenes and flash-forwards, the viewer follows Kaya as she attempts to stay afloat amidst the rock & roll lifestyle and all its temptations, from drugs and sex to money and power. It remains to be seen whether audiences will go for a scripted drama on a network that has enjoyed a resurgence thanks to shows that document the real life excesses of bratty American teens who will literally die if Shakira doesn’t perform at their birthday parties, but MTV has historically proven adept at catering to the interests of its viewers, and Kaya is likely to follow suit.Aug 13, 2007
