Is She Really Going Out with Him? was an American reality TV show that aired on MTV from May to July 2009. The show featured women in relationships with men who their friends and family did not approve of, and a host who attempted to get to the root of what made these couples tick.

The title of the show is a reference to a popular song by Joe Jackson that explores the paradox of being attracted to someone who is clearly not good for you. This theme runs throughout the series, as each episode features a new couple and their struggle to overcome the disapproval of their loved ones.

The show was hosted by British comedian and actor, Robbie Laughlin, who provided a running commentary on each couple's relationship. He also interviewed the couples separately to get their perspective on their relationship, as well as their motivations for staying together.

Each episode typically began with a short introduction to the couple, including how they met and how long they had been together. Then, the friends and family of the woman would voice their concerns about the man she was dating. This often included comments on his appearance, personality, and behavior.

The host would then bring the couple on stage together to discuss their relationship and the concerns of their loved ones. This often led to heated arguments and emotional outbursts as the two sides clashed over what was best for the woman.

Throughout the episode, the host would delve deeper into the couple's relationship by asking probing questions about their past and their feelings for each other. He would also try to challenge the couple's assumptions and beliefs about what makes a healthy relationship.

In some cases, the couples were able to overcome their differences and convince their loved ones that their relationship was worth pursuing. In other cases, the couple chose to end the relationship due to the pressure from their friends and family.

One of the unique aspects of the show was the use of hidden cameras to capture the reactions of the friends and family as they watched the couple's interaction on stage. This provided an interesting perspective on how the outside world viewed the couple's relationship.

Overall, Is She Really Going Out with Him? was a fascinating look at the complexities of modern relationships and the impact that friends and family can have on them. Despite only running for one season, the show remains a cult classic for fans of reality TV and relationship drama.
