The Ashlee Simpson Show is a reality television series about the life of Ashlee Simpson. The first season, taped from late 2003 to mid-2004, focused on the beginnings of her career as a singer and the recording of her debut album, Autobiography. A second season, taped from late 2004 to early 2005, focused on her career after the album's release.
Consisting of eight half-hour episodes, the first season ran on MTV in the United States in the summer of 2004. The show proved quite successful and helped to establish widespread recognition for Simpson, whose album was released on July 20, 2004, a month after the show began airing, and debuted at number one in sales. Jordan Schur, the president of Simpson's record label, Geffen, said that "There's no question that it really helped expose her and her music. She's got a tremendous personality; people gravitate toward that. They want to watch her and listen to her music." The second and final season, consisting of ten episodes, aired in early 2005.
Series overview
The show begins with Simpson signing her record deal with Geffen; the first season ends with the U.S. release of her album, and the second season ends with the launch of her first tour.
Much of the show deals with the process of writing and recording songs. Simpson expresses her preference for rock music and that she wants her album to reflect that; she says she does not want her album to sound like the pop music of Hilary Duff or her sister Jessica. The show ties Simpson's music together with her personal life in that many of the songs are inspired by events in her personal life, both good and bad.
The show also chronicles minor but often humorous tribulations of Simpson's life. Simpson's parents, Joe and Tina, appear frequently, as well as her sister Jessica.
