THE REST IS STILL UNWRITTEN... (NO BUT REALLY)

Lauren Conrad & Whitney Port in El Segundo for their Teen Vogue cover shootSpike, Adam Divello, Lauren Conrad & Whitney Port waiting in the Teen Vogue NY lobby at CondenastThere comes a time past or present when each generation can relate to a television character they grew up with.  Thanks to scheduled programming that helps define our culture and youth, here our just a few shows that you might remember (if you were alive).

1950's:  Ozzie & Harriet

1960's:  The Patty Duke Show, Gidget, The Monkees

1970's:  The Partdridge Family, The Brady Bunch, Happy Days, Welcome Back Cotter, The Facts of Life

1980's:  Charles in Charge, The Wonder Years, Doogie Howser M.D.

1990's:  Saved By the Bell & 90210, California Dreams, Clueless, Dawson's Creek,  Buffy the Vampire Slayer

MTV has always been ahead of the game when it comes to illustrating issues of young adults on reality TV.  You may have heard of a little show called The Real World that first started back in 1992.  A series about 7 strangers that discussed sexuality, prejudice and substance abuse.    

Modeled after one of my favorite shows The O.C., MTV created what would be a decade of drama, romance and cast of characters that we would soon all fall in love with (or not).  

Congratulations to Liz Gately, Tony Disanto & Adam DiVello on introducing us to a young girl's life from Laguna Beach named Lauren Conrad.

A reality show to most, real life for me...

L-R: Jason Sands, Steven Romero, Andrew Perry, Ben DeNoble, Lisa Love, Adam Divello, Lauren Conrad, Sara Mast, Sophia Rossi, Carlos E. Lopez, Hisham Abed, Christine Duell
