From touchy subjects (abortion, homosexuality, Scientology!) to naughty touches (in all sorts of places), we've got all the bases covered in our rundown of the Top 20 Television Controversies of all time.

So, read through our list of TV's most shocking events, moments and mishaps ... and prepare to be scandalized. -- By Adam Duerson

MTV's 'The Real World' fittingly celebrated its 22nd birthday in Cancun last night, where the housemates' newly formed friendships are sure to be destroyed by fighting, awkward hook-ups and lots and lots of alcohol.

Still, the eight new strangers have their work cut out for them if they ever want to live up to the crass behavior of past seasons -- you know, like the hot tub threesome from 'Las Vegas,' the shower threesome from 'Miami' and Puck being Puck on 'San Francisco.'

As we wait to find out what happens when 'Cancun' stops being polite and starts getting real, we want to hear from you. In 22 seasons, which 'Real World' featured the trashiest cast of all-time?

Think you know your showmances?

For reality television, love is always in the air. Some shows set out to find it ('The Bachelor,' 'Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire'); it happens spontaneously on others ('The Real World'; 'Survivor').

Think you know floozy flirtations, "scripted-drama" passion? We've got your reality check right here -- take our reality-TV romances quiz.

'Damages'
(10PM, FX) 2nd season premiere
The premiere opens on Ellen, and, without giving away a plot point that will drive much of the season, it's safe to say that she's still reeling from last season's finale, when the person behind her fiance's murder was revealed.

A new friend Ellen meets in group therapy tells her she has only two options for dealing with her pain: forgiveness or revenge, and she's definitely made up her mind which way to go.

As for Ellen's boss Patty, she's seemingly trying to change her wicked ways by fronting a charitable endeavor, but when a man from her past (William Hurt) pops up unexpectedly (and unwanted) in her present, it's clear Patty's going to be in for another wild ride, too.
