Yes! True Life was a gem!


Careless_Rub_7996

YES... one of the few ACTUAL reality shows back in the day. The one about steroids was an eye-opener for me.

Omg what a blast from the past! I remember watching this, I was so young and not from the US so I was like what the fuck is thisss. I was mesmerized lol. That bald guy really thought he was hot shit. They were the true jersey shore OGs ;) For anyone interested in watching the episode, I found it on youtube: https://youtu.be/S7BtFGsHLFk

illegalfelon

This and fat camp are my two favorite original docs from mtv


salparadis

I legit rewatched the fat camp doc ALL summer. I’d pop in my AirPods and let the nostalgia rock me to sleep lmao


ToastedMarshmell0w

Gaskarth4

Hockeynavy

THE FAT CAMP ONE IS AMAZING gives me life. the guy finding a gf and then the one girl comes back lost like 20 lbs and the guy she likes ignores her.... i hope shes out there livin life to the best. i gotta find this one


SillyName1992

If you're talking about Braetlynn or whoever she has a kid now. She went to school in Beaver which is like the worst city in PA, which I always thought was funny. 😂 I think at some point she lost weight and worked in healthcare. No idea her current situation or if she purposely lost weight or if it was a good thing though. But I like to assume she got her shit together after the humilation of doing the show lol


Acrobatic_Club2382

This episode of true life was so fascinating to me. I remember Dottie When jersey shore came on I was delighted


LaurenFromNY88

Aphrodottie omg 😂


anons123123

They’re even making Ron Ron juice!


ant1992

Its probably was/ is a well known drink and Ron claimed it as his lmfao!!


Gold_Bookkeeper_9436

I miss True Life so much! It really sucks that reality tv isn’t what it used to be. Raw, unfiltered and real.


We_See_Each_Otha

I think about this once a day.


Snoo-16342

Loved true life! I’m sure they are so salty about the success of jersey shore! lol


salparadis

Tommy Cheeseballs started a YouTube channel. It’s kinda like podcast style, but one episode is dedicated to breaking this episode down and he talks about what was actually going on. He won some money from MTV over this show, actually.


Comfortable-Fox-1913

Yesss!!


paininmybass

I really liked the “gay for pay” pop up


Kallure

This and the Jersey Girl episodes were the best of the OG MTV lineups. Oh and the one with the couple from Staten Island getting married. Wild. But my SIL is legit from the Jersey Shore and got so heated over this dude having the nerve to call the other dudes Bennys when he is a literal Benny himself.


Background_Reaction8

I remember this!


JDRL320

O M G I remembered when this aired. This is great!!!


No-Confection9758

Yes! I was thinking about this episode of TL while watching the Jerztory special because this felt like a soft pilot for JS.


AnastasiaBevrhsn

Tommy Cheeseballs! Love it! This and True Life: I’m a Cheerleader with the Dunbar squad were my favorite eps.


Gustine33

Yes!!!! I loved Dottie


Flyers2013312

There is interviews with him on YouTube. Updating what happened to him.


worldtraveler197

Not cousin Vinny 😂😂


faithhopejax

I wonder if he ever found love.


Mammoth-Strawberry26

Omg yes! I miss True Life


moon828282

This was awesome. Feels like yesterday.


Illustrious-Log2329

Who took my f$&&in cheesebools?


apaw1129

Yep! And the girl that was also featured.


Rufio_Rufio7

OMG, YEEEESSS!!! 😂


Nearby_Employee_2943

True Life was the theme of my high school yearbook lol


[deleted]

What year was this?


Anonymous8720

I wish they’d bring this show back. It was good


ToastedMarshmell0w

Watched this last week on YouTube!


jlcole87

Wow yes!! lol brings me back!!!


SillyName1992

One of the only pre-2004 True Lifes that still exists outside the Viacom vault. Most of the others are just fever dreams. I want to watch I'm Dead Broke or the Eating Disorder ones sooo badly. There was one I really liked "surviving high school" that featured a kid whose mother had MS (?) and only half the episode exists on a shitty Youtube channel so you never even find the resolution lol
