Talk:Parental Control (TV series)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anyone have any clues on exactly how scripted this is?

Anyone have a friend who's friend's brother's girlfriend's brother who was in the sudio when they were filming a show?

[edit] scripted?

oh yeah: THE BAD "ACTING",the lame come backs of the parents(lame for that reason),horrible reactions, the excessive name calling(which would normally start a fight) -- oh yeah its fake, no doubt. They need to add a section saying so. Go ahead make one Im down - thats the reason i even looked up the show: to see if it was real.

Like so much current TV, each programme is made to an an extremely tight and highly-predictable formula, with just the "stars" changing for each episode. However, remarks made by parents and children seem suspiciously similar from programme to programme. This could be due to the limited vocabulary of the average American, but I suspect it's all set-up and scripted. Does anyone know how much the participants are paid to submit themselves to what can be considerable humiliation, to be repeated endlessly on MTV? But I do like this programme :0) EdX20 21:03, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

The show IS scripted; my friend R.S., a former B-movie director who ocasionally rents out his home for movie and TV locations, had this show filming at his home on March 1, 2007. He confirmed that the show is scripted; in fact they went over the time limit stated in his contract because the "girlfriend" couldn't get her lines right. So, while they DO use real people, the show is scripted. Kaihoku 05:02, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
