parental control mtv real

are some of the shows on MTV planned out? like parental control, the hills viva la bam, the x effect?
well ive been watching a few of the shows on mtv and it seems as if though some are planned out when its supposed to be like real life, like shows like parental control, when they talk it seems as if someone wrote it ahead of time. and the hills says its real but it seems scripted, man im like getting sad that im watching something thats planned out, its not as exciting and apealing. so it just me or do you know if these shows are planned out?
I’ve read about the hills/laguna beach and how it’s planned out. Basically, the relationships and situations are real, but they set up sort of like.. meeting scenes so the plot can be conveyed. Like, even if one girl knew already knew about something that happened, the producers would still arrange a scene where they’d meet up and have Laura explain what had happened. Does that make sense?
Viva la bam isn’t even really like real life, so I don’t see how you’d be dissappointed in it.
Parental control and x-effect and such are probably planned out to some extent. There might be a little piece of realness, but a lot of it is planned/set up. A few years ago one of my friends had a friend (yeah, friend of a friend) that was on parental control, and I don’t think it was like all fake, but definitely controlled.
