MTV's Got Good Shows??

MTV these past couple of years , has been slumping in some departments of their network . But , there was a point in time , where their programming back in the early 90's up till about 2002 -03 , where music ruled , TRL was one of their top rated shows , and their was no such thing as alot of reality TV on MTV's airwaves . So I decided , to make a list of shows that were probably some of the most overlooked shows MTV has ever aired , yet they are some of their best ever .

1. Singled Out - 1996 - This show was MTV's first Dating Show . This show started Jenny Mcartney's career . This show was on every weekday , at 3 or 330 if I remember correctly . It was an entertaining show to watch . Jenny Mcartney made it funny because she would always rip on the contestants . The whole point of the show was they took Single College Kids and MTV would set them up on Dates . They had a few hosts througout the show's run . There had to be 2 or 3 hosts at most . But Mcartney was the best . She was hot , ripped on the contestants, and made the show funny to watch every day . MTV should bring this show back , because most of their dating shows now are so fake it's not even funny .

2 . The Real World- 1992- Present - Ah , The Real World . One of my All - Time Fav Shows . Yes , You might think it's all fake , some of it might be , but it is the first as everyone knows , reality show on Television . The First Cast in New York , was differently unique . I have seen in interviews and read , that when the castmembers got into the house , they had no idea that this was gonna be such a hit , and in the process they made MTV history . The Real World is MTV's longest running show , with Season 21 in production as we speak , The MTV crew is in Brookyln shooting. Suppposively , RW Brooklyn is premiering in January . I love this show alot actually , even though it can be over the top , I honestly , pathethic as this might sound , I've seen almost every season . I really hope they never do any more international cities , because with those seasons , it's either hit or miss. Anyone remember RW London back in ' 95?? Ya, I didn't think so , even MTV trys to forget that ever aired.

3. Laguna Beach - 2004-2006- Oh LAGUNA ! .. Love this one .. The Debut of the Beautiful LC .. Of Course .. Like all MTV reality shows , has its fake stuff , but watching this show , you kinda forget about it . What I like and still do about this show , is that the characters are relatable . At your High School , there was a Stephen Colleti , there was a Kristen .. There was an LC .. at some point in time . Hell , you could have been one of them in some shape or form. The drama was always the best part of this show . That coniving Kristen . Even Heidi was in this show .. you might not have recongnized her , because she looked crap half the time . AHH POOR BABY . Either way, the fans always loved , the relationship between Stephen and LC . It was one of those TV relationships that you always rooted for the two of them to get together again , but it never panned out . She was always, and still is , my favorite from that show . Also , how can we forget Talan .. what a dumb name .. yet that guy was cool as hell . Every time I watched , I literally was like .. what a cool dude .. he was kind , genorous , and to be honest one of the few MTV characters that really didn't let fame go to his head like some of the others did .

Fav Laguna Eps : The Bonfire , The Last Dance , Graduation Day , Dunzo , Winter Formal, Don't Hate The Game , Our Last Prom, I Saw You Kiss Her .

It is one of my all time Guilty Pleasure shows ... but i can't help not to like this one.

4. Road Rules - 1994 - Present - The spinoff and another show that Bunim/Murray Productions created . Now , it wasn't as popular and never really did get as much credit at MTV as The Real World has , but it is still a cool show . They get 6 kids or so put them in an RV and film them traveling for 3 months . In the first few seasons, people were watching . After about season 11-12 , it took a couple year absence , came back , and totally bombed . Ever since , it hasn't recovered . The best season I think was RR : Semester at Sea. It was cool because these cast members came from all different countries and lived on a cruise ship for 2 months or so . That season was the debut of the ever popular Veronica , and all those fights that came with that season , I'll never forget . I think I liked the fact that that season they weren't on an RV and they did something different with the show , and it worked.

Fav RR Seasons: RR Semester at Sea , RR Latin America , RR Australia , RR Xtreme .
