Parental Control

The show is okay, but the acting is horrible. They should really hire better actors/actresses. The only reason I watch it is to see which person "dates" the other person. It's totally fake, if you listen to their voice tone and facial expressions you can tell it's fake. The show is interesting to some, not all. I think it's alright, but the acting absolutely sucks. If you're looking for a good TV show with good actors on MTV, Parental Control is not the one. Try True Life. That show is great. Cause it shows the lives of people. No sucking acting. But yeah, just pay really good attention to Parental Control, and you can tell it's fake.

It looks fake. Nevertheless, it was fake crap done right.

I had fun watching it because it was so corny which made it funny.

It had this chilled, trying to be cool vibe. MTV aka viacom knew how to entertain me back in the day.

Verdict: Not for everyone but hey it will still make you laugh.

This show was obviously so fake because the dates they go on aren't actually real... it's definitely set up...

This, my friends, is why I almost always hate reality TV.

Basically, the premise of Parental Control is that there is a young man/woman who has a girlfriend/boyfriend that his/her parents are unhappy with. So the each parent chooses from a large number of applicants the "girl/guy of their son's daughter's dreams" and sets them up on a blind date.

This show is absolutely ridiculous. I just saw an episode with a guy named Julius who had a girlfriend who... well, let's just say that he must have been crazy to start going with her in the first place. She spent the entire episode knocking Julius's parents and dates and acting completely crazy.

And the parent's dating choices? *sigh* Julius's mother chose a girl who tried to woo Julius by taking him to the Universal Studios backlot. The father's choice was a girl who claimed she "has goals" and "respects herself"... but she was a pole-dancer! And the mother seemed okay with her husband's choice of a pole-dancer, which I find very hard to believe.

Do not watch this show, and maybe it'll go off the air for good.

This show is almost as obviously fake as survivor. I've seen a few episodes and it's totally unrealistic. The interviews always have the few gentleman, and then the stupid ones that don't have a chance in hell(i.e. One of them asks if the daughter is a virgin). The guys that are chosen, take them on dates that can't be expected as "the usual" on pretty much any guy, let alone teenagers(bungee jumping?). As for the boyfriend, he's always an obnoxious idiot that makes you wonder what anyone would see in them as either friend or significant other. The whole concept is pretty stupid, and I'm not saying that because I'm of the male persuasion. I'd say this show is okay if you want to check it out, but I seriously doubt you'll want to dedicate yourself to it.
