MTV Cribs is a documentary series that explores issues of fame, wealth and personal and spiritual fulfilment, which airs on the MTV network. The show takes the form of a series of short vignettes in which a celebrity guides a camera crew through their house, drawing attention to the various expensive material possessions they have amassed in an attempt to gain respect and boost their self-esteem. Cribs is generally considered to be a ground-breaking exploration of modern celebrity culture and 21st-century consumerism.
