Maximum Exposure
Maximum Exposure (also known as Max X) is an American reality TV program 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.

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.
