The 15 Best Forgotten MTV Shows

Basically, proof that everything on MTV went downhill after 2004.

Rich Girls, 2003-2004

Quite possibly MTV's greatest work, featuring a teenage Ally Hilfiger and her best friend. Uncovered the existential crisis that came with being unfathomably wealthy and included such philosophical debates as "save a life or buy a pair of shoes?"

Singled Out, 1995-1998

Against all my feminist instincts, here is my official plea to MTV to bring back this blind date show, originally hosted by Chris Hardwick (swoon!) and Jenny McCarthy. Basically, you were guaranteed to meet the love of your life and all you had to do was kick out all the stupid, unfortunately endowed guys with weird facial hair.

Alternative Nation, 1992-1997

Kind of like the original TRL without the audience; way cooler 'cause of this cool chick, Kennedy, who hosted.

The Ben Stiller Show, 1992-1993

Although this switched networks after the first season, there's pure gold in Stiller's comedy show which featured your favorite musicians acting silly and sketches like "Skank Goes Blind," "Dead Head Insurance Salesman," and "Mohican Master 2000 & Jazzercise With Wolves."
