'''''Living Lohan''''' is an American reality television series that debuted on E!. It premiered on May 26, 2008<ref>{{cite web|title=Series focuses on life of Ali Lohan|date=9 July 2008 |url=https://www.chron.com/entertainment/article/Series-focuses-on-life-of-Ali-Lohan-1754395.php|publisher=Houston Chronicle|access-date=12 December 2012}}</ref> and ended on July 27, 2008, with a total of 9 episodes over the course of one season.
==Synopsis== The program documents the daily lives of Lindsay Lohan's family, with most of the focus on her mother and manager Dina and younger sister Aliana's attempt to break into show business. Also appearing are brother Dakota "Cody" Lohan, grandmother Ann "Nana" Sullivan, who is Dina's mother and a former radio actress, and Jeremy Greene, a music producer helping Aliana with her debut album. Lindsay did not participate in the series.
According to Dina, the series did not air a second season because producers "wanted us to do these crazy things, like my son cheating on his girlfriend, me faking a pregnancy. I was like, 'No, no, no! They had ideas that weren't conducive to our ideas."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lifeandstylemag.com/2009/07/dina-lohan-reality-show-produc.html|title=Dina Lohan: reality show producers wanted me to fake a pregnancy!|date=2009-07-01|publisher=lifeandstylemag.com|access-date=2009-07-15}}</ref>
==Critical reception== Gillian Flynn of ''Entertainment Weekly'' graded the show F and commented, "The irritation turned to repulsion around the first minute ... Dina snipes about the paparazzi's invasion of privacy, but thanks to her, there's not much left to invade."<ref>[https://ew.com/article/2008/05/23/living-lohan/ ''Entertainment Weekly'' review]</ref>
Troy Patterson of ''Slate'' magazine said, "The show is crisply edited and tangily ironic without pushing its points too hard .... ''Living Lohan'' is not just a symptom of cultural decay but an active agent of it, commodifying the very youth and soul of Ali Lohan—younger sister of poor little Lindsay ... ''Living Lohan'' is one big exploitative mess."<ref>[http://www.slate.com/id/2192000/ Slate Magazine]</ref>
Mark A. Perigard of the ''Boston Herald'' graded the show D and said, "''Living Lohan'' scrapes the bottom of the stupidity barrel."<ref>[http://www.bostonherald.com/entertainment/television/reviews/view.bg?&articleid=1095762&format=&page=2&listingType=tvrev#articleFull ''Boston Herald'' review]</ref>
Brian Lowry of ''Variety'' said, "It's a tedious exercise, joining E!'s ''Keeping Up with the Kardashians'' in the realm of mother-daughter bonding experiences, with limited appeal beyond, perhaps appropriately, those pesky tabloids for which the featured "talent" profess disdain... The show at times provides unintended comedy, representing E!'s best hope of transforming ''Living Lohan'' into a guilty pleasure, if not for the reasons Dina (who doubles as a producer) would doubtless like... the most salient aspect of the series is that it's profoundly boring, wringing out sprinkles of drama as best it can."<ref>[https://www.variety.com/review/VE1117937255.html?categoryid=32&cs=1&nid=2609 ''Variety'' review]</ref>
While on ''Live with Regis and Kelly'', Anderson Cooper bashed the show during the opening segment of the chat show. Kelly Ripa proceeds to show Cooper what the show is about. Video of Cooper's comments was placed in the "Top 20 Best Clips of the Year" by ''The Soup ''when he stated "I cannot believe I'm wasting a minute of my life watching these horrific people."
