Move over Ladettes. Nine has picked up a VH1 series Tool Academy in which a host tries to transform wayward boyfriends into husband material.
The series gives ‘insensitive and clownish boyfriends a surprise wake up call’ followed by intensive relationship therapy. Each week, the “Tools” will get lessons designed to give them one last chance to save their faltering relationships.
A resident counsellor covers topics like honesty, fidelity, maturity and communication. The guys who don’t learn go home, but not before their girlfriends decide whether to keep them, or leave them behind to start over.
The man who shows the most improvement graduates wins a cash prize.
Second window rights go to MTV.

I watch Tool Academy on Foxtel and I look forward to every thursday night and I think it will do well on Nine.
yeah sure…it’ll fail in ratings.
just like ladette to lady or beauty and the geek were supposed to do. hah.
look at the ratings figures of some of these shows and they do pretty well….put it on late-ish (11pm) and i reckon it’ll do well.
i dont think 9 will care about 6 people in a message board not watching it…clearly the wrong demographic.
im gonna watch it for sure….
Come on everyone:
who here wouldn’t want a MTV/VH1 style free-to-air channel.
I know i would.
But on channel 9, i dont think it would rate well but i do hope they put in on there 2nd SD channel.
But saying that i would like to see some other content as well on it.
it would probally do alright if it was on ten though …
well you’d hope it wouldn’t be in primetime. ladette didn’t rate, bad lads army didn’t rate, this definitely won’t.
Another nail in the Channel Nine coffin. What an absolute farce this show will be. Give it up Nine – you won’t win the ratings with a rubbish show like this.
In fairness, acquisition is only acquisition. It doesn’t mean this will make it to screen, or in prime time, or even on the primary channel.
I think Nine just wrote Catherine Deveny’s latest column for her!
Lol.
tool academy – isn’t that the place where the 9 programmers go to learn their “trade”?
God help 9. Sounds very, very bad, and further evidence of their programming direction, which is disappointing, to say the least. This sort of stuff should stay on VH1, MTV, not major FTA as audience is small.
What a perfect fit for Nine. A show about tools on the network run by tools. Still won’t be wtahcing Nine. Try again.
Mmmmm…more reality trash, I’m assuming this will fill the void in Nine’s craptacular trash tuesdays? Haven’t they realised this isn’t working for them.
Wow…sounds….great…
Yet another reason not to watch
