Television is all about the build. If you have a hit show, you use it to build an audience for whatever program follows.

That's as true with regularly scheduled series as it is with specials. Just look at the Super Bowl and the way networks have used that event to debut a new series after the game or to give an existing program added exposure.

Don't miss

"MTV Movie Awards" -- Maybe if the Oscars incorporated offbeat categories such as "best kiss" and "best villain" they would be more fun to watch. For now, though, it's up to this crazy bash to push the envelope and let the stars go wild. Serving as host of the 20th annual gala is Jason Sudeikis ("Saturday Night Live"), who will usher viewers through all the madness, including presentations by, among others, Ryan Reynolds, Steve Carrell, Cameron Diaz, Selena Gomez and Jesse Eisenberg. 7 p.m. today, MTV and VH1.

The first sign that MTV's newest scripted show is, as programming chief David Janollari puts it, "not your father's 'Teen Wolf'ââ" is probably the brief sight of half a dead girl -- the top half -- illuminated by what looks to be the flashlight app from an iPhone.

MIAMI -- When Baron "Dirty" Colon joined an MTV reality show featuring street thugs in 2009, he swore to reform or else wind up behind bars.

His own words may have proved prophetic: Police arrested Colon last week, charging him with the murder of a Miami area artist during a botched heist.

Colon, 24, of Miami Gardens, was a finalist on the second season of MTV's "From G's to Gents," which offered $100,000 to the "real" gangster who most turned his life around. He competed against 15 contestants on the show, which claims to transform "rough-around-the-edges young men" into dapper, successful gentlemen.

He is charged in the January 2006 slaying of artist Marcelo Vera, and according to police was a suspect in the case even as he jetted off to Los Angeles to tape the show.
