Maximum Exposure (also known as Max X) is an American reality television series showcasing video clips on a variety of subjects. It ran from October 7, 2000 until May 25, 2002. As its various slogans attest, the show was targeted at teens and young adults. The program also showed videos from other reality shows, especially its predecessor Real TV, and was noted both for its fast-paced action and its analysis of slow-motion replays.

Outline

The executive producers were brothers Mack and Bradley Anderson of First Television. Cam Brainard (better known as the narrator of This Week in Baseball and the announcer for Disney Channel) narrated the show, while credited as the "Smart-Aleck Announcer Dude." Each episode was an hour long and aired in syndication from 2000 to 2002, with reruns until 2004. The show was produced by Paramount Domestic Television and RTV News.

Syndication

At one point, it was re-aired on Spike TV from 2005 to 2008, and the Fox Reality Channel from 2005 to 2008. Also, reruns aired on WGN America and in some syndication markets. In India, Maximum Exposure is currently being aired on Spark Big CBS Channel. In Estonia Meeletu Maailm (Maximum Exposure) is currently being aired on TV6. In Australia, the program aired on FOX8 from 2006 to 2007, and reruns are still aired from time to time. While in Malaysia, the show had previously been aired on TV2 from 2002 to 2003. In 2006 the show aired on ABC-5 (now The 5 Network) in the Philippines that was given the own local name titled Todo Max and was hosted by Gladys Guevarra with the narrators/co-hosts Nicole Hyala and Chris Tsuper of Love Radio. On AXN Asia, where the series was formerly aired, only 13 episodes in both Seasons 1 and 2 were broadcast, while the remaining episodes from both seasons was not aired due to censorship on immature content which was not suitable for young viewers.

Running gags

Max X had a series of running gags throughout the duration of the show.

Max X routinely makes fun of foreigners, including the French, the Russians, and the Canadians, especially those who are intoxicated. Running gags include how "dirty" France is and how "boring" Canada is.

Episodes

Each episode of the 52 produced for the series had a particular theme:[1]

Season 2 (2001–2002)

Note: 15 out of 26 episodes of the series' second season was aired between January and May 2002, however the copyright year is written as 2001 instead of 2002. This is maybe due to its production year.
