From the countless, timeless music videos they would play to culturally iconic series such as MTV Cribs and Pimp My Ride, MTV’s history is abundant with gems and extensive in length. Arguably the most iconic MTV series of all though is Jackass featuring a group of eager young men willing to put their bodies on the line in the hopes of fame, and it worked. Jackass had a successful run for three seasons from 2000 to 2001 before making the leap to the silver screen, which only opened the floodgates to hordes of new fans who had yet to discover the raunchiness that is Jackass. Now the series is ready to make a comeback, with Paramount announcing plans for a Jackass TV reboot that should leave fans more than excited.
