All programming is subject to change (check local listings): Wednesday, January 3 10:30 - 11 p.m. ET - Twentyfourseven Series Premiere Twentyfourseven follows the intimate and real conversations, interactions and lives of seven friends (an entrepreneur, a rock star, an actor, a filmmaker, a club promoter, a record producer, and a musician), each with their own dream of one goal -- to make it big in the toughest town of all, Hollywood, CA. Each episode of Twentyfourseven chronicles this real-life group of friends to reveal their true ambitions, strengths, and faults. However, pitfalls lie along the way, and only they will be able to prove if the strength of seven is greater than one. In the premiere episode Chris (the rock star) and his band fail to show up for a performance that his brother Greg (the entrepreneur) has arranged - which leaves Greg in a major bind at the last minute. However, things go from bad to worse when Greg gets a surprising phone call from his brother. Thursday, January 11 10:30 - 11:00 p.m. ET - I'm From Rolling Stone Series Premiere Rock 'n' Roll. Fame. Deadlines. I'm From Rolling Stone follows six young writers over the course of the summer as they work toward earning a highly coveted full-time staff writer position at Rolling Stone Magazine. For all of the young journalists, their experience at Rolling Stone is a complete wake-up call and viewers will hear their first-hand discussions and heated arguments as they compete for story assignments, stress over deadlines and face scathing feedback from editors while dealing with their own personal insecurities, inexperience and fear of failure. For each of the young writers, it's the opportunity of a lifetime, but only one of them will be offered the position at the end of the summer. In the premiere episode, From Complete Unknown to Rolling Stone, the six young journalists find out that they have landed summer jobs at Rolling Stone and head to New York to begin work at the legendary publication. Friday, January 19 10:00 - 10:30 p.m. ET - Super Sweet 16 All New Season It's an all new season of Super Sweet 16. The parties are bigger and the dialogue between the teenagers and their parents about what it's like to turn 16 is crazier. My Super Sweet 16 documents one character's outrageous journey as they plot, plan and prep for the party to end all parties and provides an up close and very personal look at the extravagant and sometimes extreme measures teens take to ensure that this milestone in their lives is commemorated by the ultimate celebration. 10:30 - 11:00 p.m. ET - Dance Life Series Premiere From Executive Producer Jennifer Lopez comes Dance Life, a series about the real lives of dancers working to make it in Hollywood. Viewers will meet six dancers with six interconnected stories and one dream: to dance their way to the top. From the rush of dancing for thirty-thousand screaming fans, to the struggle to pay the rent, from soundstage to center stage, dance studio to dance floor. Viewers will follow these dancers as they give their all to achieve their dreams. In the end some will make it, some won't, but all will be changed forever by the challenge. In the premiere episode viewers are introduced to the six dancers (including Blake, a Canadian kid!) who attend an audition for a short gig with, who else, Jennifer Lopez herself. However when one dancers car breaks down en route and four other are immediately cut viewers begin to see the personal struggles, heartfelt conversations, insecurities and cocky attitudes that abound. Friday, January 26 9:30 - 10 p.m. ET - Engaged & Underage Series Premiere Engaged & Underage, a half-hour documentary series, follows young couples, between the ages of 18 and 21, during the final weeks of their engagement, leading up to and including the big day and all of the personal conversations in between. In addition to showing the drama, the tension, and the humor inherent in the days before a big event, Engaged & Underage also portrays a young couple as they take their first steps towards adulthood, and begin to define themselves as people outside the confines of their parents and home life. Tuesday, January 30 9:00 - 9:30 p.m. ET - Road Rules 360 Season Premiere The new season of Road Rules returns bigger and better than ever, as MTV gives viewers the opportunity to actually determine and control the outcome of each episode. In the new season of Road Rules the cast will continue to travel in an RV tackling one mission each week, but the rules and the game have changed. Each episode will have all the interpersonal drama, wild dialogue and big missions the MTV audience loved from the original series plus viewers now get to call the shots on who ends up in the elimination game. 9:30 - 10 p.m. ET - Bam's Unholy Union Series Premiere Bam Margera (from the MTV series Viva La Bam) is not your average guy. He made his name by terrorizing his parents, goofing off and finding extreme sports a walk in the park. Now, he's asked Missy, the girl next door to marry him and time is of the essence; the date has been set and nothing has been planned. For Missy, that means only a few short months to find a dress, get a caterer, find a venue, send out invitations and plan the entire wedding...while Bam inevitably throws curveballs into the process. From the engagement party to the wedding, the fiery arguments and passionate discussions viewers will follow the soon-to-be Mr. and Mrs. Margera, as they go through all the necessary steps in planning a wedding and preparing for what will be a very interesting life together. Missy has her hands full, and so does Bam. Only his hands are full of cake and he is about to smash it into her face. True love. 10:00 - 10:30 ET - Two A Days Season Premiere Ranked number one in the nation and now chasing their fifth consecutive state championship title, season two introduces viewers to a brand new batch of players on the Hoover High School Bucaneers team and follows them through their high school football season. But in Alabama, communities take their football extremely seriously, and the players are living under tremendous pressure to earn football scholarships and win a championship ring -- not to mention the demands of girlfriends, parents, and teachers. This pressure forces the players to address a wide range of topics and controversial issues that are common to all teenagers, whether they're vying for football championship, studying for a big exam or dealing with peer pressure at school. 10:30 - 11 p.m. ET - Wrestling Society X Series Premiere This isn't your older brother's WWE -- there's nothing shiny or polished about it. Each week on Wrestling Society X, the most talented warriors the world has ever known will battle each other and their surroundings, creating an experience that will alter viewers lives irrevocably. Featuring an onslaught of death-defying feats, aerobatic maneuvers, and truly athletic performances, Wrestling Society X will showcase the unique talents of some of the best in the business including aerial assault artist Jack Evans, the arrogant catalog models, Matt Sydal & Lizzy Valentine, the amazing third generation heir to a wrestling legacy Teddy Hart, as well as the likes of former World Champions Vampiro and Sean "6-Pac" Waltman and hear truthful discussions of what its like to be one of the most insane wrestlers on the planet.
