Television shows that emulate the Lolcow experience? -

[BrokenFeed427]

What are some good television shows that showcase exceptional individuals and milk them for insight and entertainment? The best examples would be ones proven to show the public long-standing milkable characters, but any show specializing in showing lulzy behavior is fair game.
Classic examples I can think of would obviously be To Catch a Predator, which has brought us such interesting characters as Lorne Armstrong, now failed YouTuber and catfish sucker (who you can read more about on the TCAP wiki) and Kitchen Nightmares, whose contributions to lolcow-dom cannot be overstated by bringing to light the hilarity of Samy & Amy Bouzalgo, owners of Amy's Baking Company (Kiwifarms thread for those interested).
Without further ado, let's share some good viewing.

Hoarders.

The "Trash TV" fad of the 90's was more or less a direct precusor to all this.

Jerry Springer, Ricki Lake, Hard Copy, Inside Edition...all of them featured the lolcows of their day

Of course, the earliest major example of this in American pop culture would be Morton Downey Jr., which can best be described as both the direct predecessor to Jerry Springer and a weird pre-internet version of True Capitalist Radio, complete with a wackjob conservative host who smoked like a freight train and drank like a fish and even a segment where the audience got to address the host and his guests.

 

[Massively Strong Greed]

Reality TV garbage like Jersey Shore and Here Comes Honey Boo Boo come to mind, as does Dr. Phil.

 

[Billy Rocker]

My Strange Addiction. From merely quirky stuff like extensive collections of mustard bottles and rabbit dolls, to gross or sad shit like eating matresses or ashes

There was also Totally Obsessed, but that one felt more lighthearted and funny. Shame it didn't last long at all, and Fred Willard died this year.

didint that tiger guy die a few years ago? something about a drug overdose?

 

[Orion Balls]

For a fictional piece, I'll vote Seinfeld. The whole premise of that show was that the main characters were all assholes, and we got to laugh at their overly dramatic ways.

 

[Vlinny Chan]

90 Day Fiance for sure. That shit is fake as fuck, but it does capture the essence of documenting some of the most fame-hungry, spiteful, and obnoxious dumbasses in their natural habitat. Smothered is also this, but has more of a incestual vibe in the mix. TLC sure knows how to pick 'em.

 

[User names must be unique]

Come Dine with me, don't know how it is in the 40 other countries the formats been sold in but the bong version is full of lolcows and powerful cringe.

 

[Grog]

"I am Jazz", very Lynchian show.

 

[Ex Cummunicated Sasser HD]

The Undateables...

Only honest and true answer...

edit: Ruth is a legend... She had her own show too, but she's not really a cow, she's just funny as fuck to watch, because of her tourette's, but apart from that she is a normal young lady and not really a cow at all...
THUNDERCATS! KICK THEM IN THE NUTS, SEND THEM TO SPACE. PETROL BOMB! CHLAMYDIA!!! PEDO IN A SPEEDO!!! YOUR MUM'S A FUCKING SQUIRELL...

She has some great lines...

This guy is pure low level hardcore lolcow emulation though:

 

[Catch Your Breath]

South Park captures it from the perspective of the Farms I guess

"Jew in a Volvo!"

I think I found a new waifu.

 

[spencer reid]

Cringe comedy and reality television are the lolcow genres

How in the hell does someone consume a pound of ashes in 2 months?

MOUSE!

 

[Glad I couldn't help]

Daytime Television, of any type, will do, as both they serve to highlight the crapiness of the lives of its subjects to make the audience feel superior to them.

Naked Attraction.

The cows willingly give you their nudes too!
