Before Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica, there was The Osbournes. But just two years after Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson's break-up put an end to the televised honeymoon, there was Keeping Up With The Kardashians. And America's First Family has these early 2000s B-list singers to thank for ushering in an era of relatable celebrity reality TV.
So, on this week's new episode of TV. Watch. Repeat., my co-host Allison Piwowarski and I decided to toast Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica by exploring the history of the series. What was it exactly about the third most-famous boy band frontman and third most-famous pop star that caused a phenomenon, and who were the surprising almost-stars of the series? We get into it all.
