Whether you love it, hate it, or love to hate it, reality TV is everywhere, and it’s a versatile genre. Think about it: there are singing reality shows, cooking reality shows, game shows, and the ever-growing, ever-loved family-based reality shows.

Ever since the early 2000s, viewers have loved seeing a more vulnerable (and hilarious) glimpse into the lives of some of pop culture’s most iconic families. Just look at the Kardashians: people loved seeing inside their crazy lives so much that they got another show right after Keeping Up With the Kardashians ended.

Now, a new celebrity family just entered the mix, and it’s one that literally no one saw coming.

The new Paraomunt+ show is already started quite a few controversies in how Sylvester handles his grown daughters’ dating lives, and we’re only a few episodes in!

But what’s reality TV without some controversy?

From early 2000s staples like The Osbournes to lesser-known gems like Ashlee Simpson and Evan Ross’ show Ashlee + Evan, there’s no shortage of family reality TV.

Check out which celebrity families have reality shows of their own below:
