* EnsembleDarkhorse: Most viewers who can't stand MTV's [[Series/JerseyShore glut]] [[Series/MySuperSweetSixteen of]] [[Series/TheRealWorld reality]] [[Series/SixteenAndPregnant shows]] have a soft spot for TrueLife, mainly for two reasons: the show covers a huge number of America's subcultures the average viewer knows nothing/little about, and the realistic depiction of teens/twenty-somethings often selected in the show. Sure, there are throwaway episodes like "I'm a Staten Island Girl", but for every disposable installment, there are several more episodes worth watching, with the occasionally unforgettable episode (e.g., "I am Dirt Poor" is an utterly gripping look into America's downtrodden youth, "I Don't Trust My Partner" ends a typically run-of-the-mill TrueLife episode with a SuddenDownerEnding). Compared to the insane exploits of party-holics MTV loves to film, TrueLife is wonderfully grounded counter programming.

* NeverLiveItDown: A pretty common occurrence on the occasional "Where are they now?" show is that a lot of the people profiled will say that after seeing themselves on the show, it held up a pretty harsh mirror to their behavior, and encouraged them to reform and better themselves. Unfortunately, a lot of viewers don't realize this, and assume that they're still as mean/bitchy/self-destructive as they were on camera. On a more comedic note, Anthony, the bodybuilder from "I Want the Perfect Body" said he still gets teased about the scene where he was preparing for a competition and had his dad shave his ass on camera.
