5 Forgotten Reality Shows That Shaped TV Today, Ranked
MTV

In today's modern society, we have an unusual sensation called the Kardashians. Nobody is quite sure what the sensation is about them, but it seems as if they are here to stay. Today, we are going to break down the top reality TV shows of all time.

5. "Rob and Big"

"Rob and Big" premiered in 2006 and was an instant hit among the MTV audience. Rob is a professional skateboarder, and Big Black is his bodyguard. They move in together and go through the next two years making business moves, harassing Rob's cousin, Drama, and adopting puppies. This show is good for anyone looking for a family-friendly environment.

4. "Britney and Kevin Chaotic"

Britney Spears in 2004 was a wild pop star. From her first marriage with childhood friend Jason Alexander to her infamous video for "Toxic", winning her first marriage to her last, and her most recent marriage to Kevin Federline. This show chronicled her on her Onyx Hotel tour, where she brought Kevin along and showed the moment that leads up to their marriage and first child.

3. "Newlyweds: Nick and Jess"

This show was personally going to be my number one show on this list due to Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey's romance, but it didn't quite make it. "Newlyweds" followed this couple after their marriage in 2002 and helped boost Jessica's album sales. This show is infamous due to Jessica asking if the Chicken of the Sea tuna, is indeed tuna or chicken.

2. "The Challenge"

If you aren't familiar with Johnny Bananas, Cara Maria, or the infamous CT, then you are not a viewer and should catch up as soon as possible. "The Challenge", starting back in the year 2000, is now running on its 32nd season, excluding spin-offs ("Spring Break Challenge", "Challenge Vs. Stars"). This show is all about being athletic and being able to play politics. If you don't have a strong mental game while being able to climb up mountains and eat cow brains, then this show isn't for you.

1. "The Real World"

This show has made number one for obvious reasons. It has been on the air since 1994 and has been the most influential reality show to ever air. It's the first reality show to air a homosexual relationship, dealing with gender issues, racism, and much more. This show still airs today and isn't slowing down anytime soon.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
