Exclusive! Porn stars reclaim TV Land series title

The folks at TV Land must be pretty embarrassed about their decision to rename a family-oriented TV series after the erotic-themed Showtime series My First Time, now that plans are in place to release the original, sexy episodes on DVD!

And meanwhile, the porn stars who performed in the original My First Time series (many of whom proudly claim the series as their big break and sole mainstream credit) have come forward to keep the tantalizing title in the sex world, where it belongs!

As we reported last week, the nostalgic TV Land network announced the debut of a six-part series looking at TV roles that changed the lives of Hollywood stars. The show’s being called “My First Time,” although it had the more apt title of “My Big Break” when it was ordered up last October.

Someone obviously thought that “My First Time” was a sexier title. Oh boy, were they right. Now Jim Belushi, Katey Segal and other stars profiled on the TV Land series may find some fans assuming they'd appeared on a very different show, indeed-- a series that featured performances by porn stars like Aurora Snow (right), Dru Berrymore, Lexington Steele, and Katie Morgan (above), who'd go on to be profiled and interviewed in the nude on the HBO special, A Porn Star Revealed.

The TV execs were caught with their, uh… pants down… when they realized My First Time (“True Stories of Love & Sex”) was the name of a very recent, but already legendary Showtime docudrama series in which ordinary women were interviewed, and gave explicit details about, the first time they had sex! Cited by Fleshbot, the influential porn and sex culture web magazine as “a fondly-remembered erotic program,” the series contained R-rated, filmed re-enactments of the women’s recollections.

Today, an enterprising Tabloid Baby reader has sent us a list of some of the X-rated actresses and actors who appeared in the series.

Now this is worth a TV series. For some of these actors, My First Time was their first time in front of the cameras. Others were porn veterans who showed up expecting to engage in hardcore action. Some were true underground stars who caused a buzz among the crew.

All were required to act.

And talk about TV Land— one actor was just beginning his foray into the adult entertainment industry. His hardcore exploits would cause a huge tabloid sensation, because he's the the son of a legendary network television comedian: Dick Smothers Jr.!



Here's a partial listing of the X-rated stars who got “Their Big Break” on “My First Time":

Summer Fields, Ann Marie, Ava Molina, Wendy Divine, Aria, Dru Berrymore, Ananda Saint James Goldie, Tina Tyler, Venus, Monique Alexander, Rhiannon Bray, Misty Mendez, Diana DeVoe, Dee, Alana Evans, Britney James, Dalny Marga, Katie Morgan, Buffy Sinclair, Aurora Snow, Allison Wyte, Melanie, Kelly Warner, Becca Bratt, Kara Caraballo and Mandy Roberts.

Male performers include Dick Smothers, Jr, Marty Romano (above, left), Chris Evans, Trevor Zen, Brett Wad, Barrett Blade, Julian St. Jox, Lexington Steele (right), Justin Slayer and Matt Bixel (and in a cameo, Legs McNeil, author of the porn history book, The Other Hollywood).

An apparent Tabloid Baby tribute site has managed to compile photos of the many of the women (the photos are Not Safe For The Office… but not hardcore).

Meanwhile, the TV Land series doesn’t debut until June 28th. There’s still time to change the name back to My Big Break. Imagine the confusion if the sexy DVDs hit stores during its run!
