MTV's Reality Shows In the Early 2000s Were Absolutely Awful

The early 2000s marked a stark rise of reality TV as a genre, and MTV had a jumpstart thanks to their series, The Real World. The shows they created after however were downright bonkers. They had a big emphasis on dating series, leading to shows like Room Raiders, Next, Parental Control, and the ever cringey, Date My Mom. These shows featured some of the most unlikeable people and situations imaginable, who said and did things that would most certainly get them canceled. In fact, none of these shows would survive had they been made today, as people would likely be complaining after every single episode. Now, however, thanks to Paramount+, viewers can watch and laugh at just how bad these shows were.
