Contestants on this show took karaoke both more and less seriously than what would seem appropriate. Celebrity judges gave them scores based on "accuracy," "style," and "performance," or, more simply, how foolish they made themselves look. Say What? Karaoke had nothing whatsoever to do with singing. Anyway, this was a ridiculous show. — youtube.com

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT reality show about Ally Hilfiger (daughter of Tommy) and her best friend Jaime Gleicher and their dippy but well-meaning teen socialite existence on the Upper East Side. Highlights: when Ally said, "My dad invented cargo pants"; when they tried to start a charity that donated old mattresses to Africans who are "so malnutritioned." — youtube.com

The amazing part of this show was that the MTV producers forced upperclassmen who had no female friends or interest in Greek life to rush a sorority and GUESS WHAT they didn't really fit in with the existing sisters! — youtube.com

On I Want A Famous Face crazy people got tons of plastic surgery in order to resemble celebrities. One of them was an Elvis impersonator whose goal was to be "seductively nude" on the cover of Playgirl. This show was TERRIFYING. — youtube.com

Tragically the only video documentation of Mandy Moore's daytime talk show is this grainy video of 3LW's performance on the show. But Mandy EXISTED and it was AMAZING. Moore would wander around making small talk with her audience, generally a bunch of stragglers from around the MTV Beach House. She would conduct brief, awkward interviews with celebrities. She would have musical guests who always seemed vaguely put out about having to perform on a makeshift stage for random beach bums but what, were they going to complain??
