In pursuit of viewers, television people sometimes come up with unimaginable things, often disregarding moral standards. Of course, Japanese programs occupy the TOP of strange shows, but the United States is also not lagging behind, and masterfully comes up with ways to interest viewers. 
Man Vs Beast 
The most terrible animal is man, and this show is proof of that. The point is that man competes with animals in athletics, strength training, and so on. People almost always lose. For example, how do you like the competition of forty dwarfs and one elephant in the test “who can move the plane”?
Or a sumo wrestler and an orangutan tug of war?
A runner races a giraffe and a zebra
Animal rights activists and other humanists often complained about the show, which is not at all surprising.
Who's Your Daddy? ("Who's your daddy?")
A completely immoral show, which fortunately did not gain many ratings and was closed. The idea is that the participants recruited several people who grew up in an orphanage and are trying to find their father. But it's not easy because there were 8 other fake fathers on the show.
If the child did not choose a real father, then he (the false father) was given a cash prize. It is clear that each of the impostors did everything to win, playing on the feelings of people who grew up without a father. Even the audience thought it was disgusting.
Born in the Wild
Nowadays it is popular to give birth not in a hospital, but at home. In the bath, for example, with access to the stream. Such lovers would fit right into the strange show "Born in the Wild."
Its essence is that women are sent to give birth in the wild, without doctors, but surrounded by many cameras. A total of 6 episodes were filmed, but production was quickly shut down. It's surprising that the writers even found participants willing to do this.
Kid Nation
A show in which 40 children from 9 to 15 years old are sent to an isolated town without adult supervision. According to the plan, they themselves had to distribute responsibilities, choose a leader, and build a mini-society.
Apparently, the creators hoped to make an impromptu film adaptation of Lord of the Flies, but the children disappointed them and did not provide any action - the program ended in the first season.
Mr. Personality (Mr. Personality)
They say that appearance is not important. Apparently, this is what the writers were guided by when they created this show. Twenty masked men competed for the love of one woman. Typical “Bachelor”, but without faces.
The show was creepy.
Are You Hot?: "In Search of America's Sexiest People"
Another beauty show in which the participants are judged not on their talents, but purely on their appearance - body and face. Scantily clad participants were put on display for everyone to see, the judges gave their frank opinion about their appearance, pointing out all the flaws, and one of them pointed at Disadvantages of a laser pointer.
Fortunately, viewers did not find the show attractive.
"We play naturally"
Check your gay radar. One woman on a ranch had to meet 14 men and find out who was straight and who wasn't.
If she chooses a straight guy, the couple wins a million dollar prize, but if she chooses a gay guy, the girl loses and the gay guy keeps the money for himself. In the show, gays tried their best to pass themselves off as straight, even kissing the heroine, all for the sake of a million.
"Wedding plastic"
Similar to The Ugly Duckling: 12 women are about to get married and move into a separate house without grooms. They compete for the main prize - plastic surgery. After all, you need to look perfect on such an important day as a wedding!
Best Funeral Ever
A show from a funeral agency that turns a sad day into a solemn celebration of the deceased. They make a show out of funerals and, to some extent, a holiday.
“He loved breakfast, he ate breakfast three times a day. So the family decided to celebrate his life with breakfast at the funeral!” Well, everything like that.
Originality or mockery of a solemn ritual? Would you like a funeral like this?
"I Wanna Marry 'Harry'" (I want to marry Harry)
In general, several American women come to England to compete for the love of the one who is considered Prince Harry. In fact, he is just a red-haired boy who looks very much like a member of the royal family.
"Married at First Sight"
The creators of the show create several couples based on possible compatibility and seal them with marriage. After a few months of marriage, the participants must decide whether to divorce or not.
"Crown Children"
The show is a beauty contest, where typical “yamamas” look with emotion at their children, who have not yet entered first grade. It was this show that popularized children's beauty pageants.
Of course, it caused a lot of controversy: children in provocative clothes and heavy makeup imitate the behavior of adults. The show lasted 7 seasons.
"Naked Date"
From the name the essence is clear. Couples meet and go on a date completely naked. Like all the participants in the program except the host. Apparently, it’s much easier to build relationships this way.
