My Life as Liz is an American television series that debuted on MTV on January 18, 2010. Produced by MTV Studios, the show has had good ratings throughout its first season. The first season ended on March 8, 2010 . MTV renewed the show for a second season. It uses the camera-work and editing typical of reality television. The Los Angeles Times asserts that the show "is quasi-reality -- real people, in their real environment, leading lives that are being in some way dramatized," and that the show "flirts with documentary but intersperses scenes of high-school hallway conversations." An MTV executive has stated, "We dont look at it as just a reality show. We werent going to call it a sitcom, because its not." Executive Producer Marshall Eisen stated, "The rule was, when Liz is around other people, we played that as straight as we could. When shes alone, thats when we were able to stylize things more."
