    Parental Control

    Parental Control is a television program produced by MTV. The two directors, Brendon Carter and Bruce Klassen, have also created other MTV shows.

    Plot
    The version which aired February 2006 differs from its premiere in March 2005 on MTVs Spring Break 2005. A girl was to interview five boys, and after a set of about five questions for each person or an activity of some sort, the father would eliminate one of the contestants. This would go on until one contestant remained.http://www.mtv.com/parentalcontrol

    In the latest version, parents are unhappy with their childs current boyfriend, girlfriend or significant other, the child parents interview and select prospective partners who vie for the affections of their child. Afterwards, their child goes on a date with the two selections that each parent chose. The child then has to decide whether to keep their current relationship, or chose one of the new prospects.http://www.mtv.com/parentalcontrol

    During each date, the parents and the current partner watch and comment, often antagonistically, as the date unfolds on television. When the dates are finished, the child selects their new partner from amongst the competitors and current partner. First, one of the three is picked to leave before the other two. Then the child chooses between the two remaining potential partners. The whole process often results in unpleasant behavior from the two who were eliminated. In some occasions, the child chooses neither the current significant other nor the dates that his or her parents set up for the child.www.mtv.com

    Ratings

The show, much like other MTV dating shows (Next and Date My Mom), started off with few viewers and grew to a fair-rated show.http://www.mtv.com/parentalcontrol
