Premise

Each episode begins with parents telling their teenage son or daughter that they're going away for the weekend. What the teenager doesn't know is that their parents actually hide out with Bouvier a short distance from their home. Using secret cameras and an insider friend of the teenager, the parents and Bouvier watch the teen's every move. Parents can win money by correctly predicting the next action their child will take.

At the end of the weekend, the parents return home as promised. The teen can then win money by confessing to their parents about the events that took place. Eventually, Bouvier appears on the set to defuse the situation. He reveals what actually happened - "to do some damage control," as he says.

A nearly identical tv series, Animal House, aired on British TV a year earlier in 2004.

Production

Two eight-episode seasons were filmed before any episodes were aired.

MTV information

Damage Control's theme song was "Me Against the World", the fifth track from Still Not Getting Any..., the second album by Bouvier's band, Simple Plan.

Damage Control was aired on MTV on Sunday nights alongside Punk'd, Pimp My Ride, and Viva La Bam. Collectively, the four shows were known on MTV as the Sunday Stew lineup.
