V. In Culture

A. MTv's Catfish: The TV Show

I. Premise: The American reality show aired in 2010 and focused on the phenomenon of catfishing, mostly on Facebook. Hosted by Nev Schulman and Max Joseph, the show was contacted both by those who were unsure if they were being catfished and those who were doing the catfishing. However, a report from Hollywood.com said that it was most often the catfish who was looking to be on the show.

II. Reception: The show has continuously been critiqued for authenticity. Because it is most often the perpetrator of the catfish profile who wants to come clean or even seek fame, but the show portrays the reverse in which the hopeful victim is seeking their unknown significant other. However, the show's coining of the term "catfish" has become commonplace.

B. To Catch a Predator

I. Premise: The Dateline NBC television series hosted by Chris Hansen focused on investigators impersonating underage profiles in order to get pedophiles to a trap location. Spin offs with a similar premise: To Catch a Con Man, To Catch an ID Thief, TO Catch a Car Thief, etc.
