7 Reality Shows That Need To Make A Return To Television Immediately!

Ah, reality television. The thing everyone hates to love. We will never admit it to our friends or family, but we’ve all wasted an entire weekend watching some ridiculous reality show. And then when someone mentions the show in public, you act as if you have never heard of it, but deep down you are wanting to scream, “I CAN’T BELIEVE HER BITCH ASS ACTUALLY ATE THE LAST OF THE CEREAL! SHE DIDN’T EVEN PAY FOR THAT SH-T!”

I understand your pain, which is why I am sharing my personal list with you. The 7 reality shows I still miss today. Did any of your favorites make the list? And if not, what would your list look like?

No. 7 – Blind Date

Who could forget Roger Lodge? When I heard his voice coming through the speakers on my television, I knew I was in for 30 minutes of awkwardness. I’m not exactly sure how they continued convincing women to go on the show. Almost every single guy was some creep who was just trying to make it back to the hot tub.

It was a truly disgusting show, and that’s why it needs to come back. I know it was on for seven seasons, but we need seven more!

No. 6 – Joe Millionaire

We actually just did an update on Evan Marriott (Joe Millionaire) last month. Can anyone believe it’s been 12 years since the show was on television? Pretty crazy. It feels like just yesterday. For those of you who don’t remember, Evan Marriott was just your average construction worker before he was selected to star in the show. His goal was to trick 20 women into thinking he just inherited a ridiculous amount of money, and at the end of the show he must reveal the truth.

It was a pretty clever idea, and it received great ratings, but sadly it was a one-hit wonder. This didn’t surprise the people at FOX, but it certainly surprised me. After over 10 years, I think it’s time we bring it back for one more season.

No. 5 – The Simple Life

Come on! Who didn’t love this show? One of the greatest things was watching it with people who didn’t understand Paris and Nicole weren’t actually like that in real life. It seems strange, but I have a lot of respect for Paris and Nicole. They were the perfect trolls.

And even though I’d like to see this show come back, it probably wouldn’t work anymore, at least not with the original stars.

No. 4 – The Moment Of Truth

I’m still not sure if this show was 100% real, but I honestly don’t care. It was incredibly entertaining. Contestants were hooked up to a lie detector machine and were forced to answer some pretty personal questions. If you were able to answer all 21 questions truthfully, you would take home the $500,000 jackpot.

And like I said, they were asking some serious sh-t. One woman even admitted to cheating on her husband during the show. You can check out a clip from the episode by clicking this link.

It’s still great even with that horrible quality!

No. 3 – Beauty And The Geek

Ashton Kutcher had something special with this show. It aired on on The WB/CW from 2005 — 2008. A total of five seasons aired, but I think we can all agree the first season was the best. Who could forget Richard Rubin? There was a time in my life where I actually wanted to be him.

Admittedly, the show did start to go downhill after the first two seasons, but I think now is the perfect time to bring it back.

No. 2 – The Mole

I refuse to apologize for loving this show. This was actually a really good program, and freakin’ Anderson Cooper was the host for the first two seasons. The show aired from 2001 — 2004, but it did return for one final season four years later in 2008.

Here is to hoping they will bring it back one more time, and if they do, it better be the celebrity version. Kathy Griffin was great in season 3.

No. 1 – Kid Nation

This one is probably my favorite out of all the shows on the list. Basically, they just throw some kids (ages 8 to 15) in this privately owned town, and then we watch as they attempt to create a functioning society. They have to set up a government system, grow food, figure out who will own the shops in town, and the hero of this show was the kid with the goofy hat. You can only see the front of his hat in the photo above, but if you watched the show, I am sure you know who I am talking about.

His name was Jared, and this dude was a badass. I still remember his famous, “Holy banana bread!” line. If you didn’t watch the show when it aired, you can check out the greatness of Jared in this clip.
