16 Pregnant
When MTV aired 16 and Pregnant in 2009, it pushed the reality TV genre in a controversial new direction by portraying the real-life hardships of teens dealing with unwanted pregnancies. The show, which The New York Times described as “a documentary-style series about real-life Junos,” was a hit for MTV, which had long abandoned its heyday of music videos in favor of reality programming.
