Life of Ryan (also known as The Life of Ryan) is an MTV reality[1] show following the life of pro skateboarder Ryan Sheckler. The title of the show is a play on the Monty Python film "Life of Brian". Each episode is 30 minutes long and follows Ryan, his family, and friends through the various twists and turns of life as a skater and a typical teenager. Most episodes are filmed in and around the Sheckler household in San Clemente, California.

The first season primarily deals with the divorce of Ryan's parents; Ryan's attempts to find a girlfriend; relationships with his brothers; and Ryan's attempt to win every stop on the Dew Action Sports Tour.

The show is produced by Carbone Entertainment for MTV and can be seen on MTV, MTV 2, and MTV Canada. Life of Ryan debuted on Monday, August 27, 2007, at 10:30pm following The Hills. The season one finale was seen by 2.3 million viewers. The finale ranked #1 in its time period among P12-24 across all of television, even out-delivering broadcast. On October 15th, it was announced that Life of Ryan will return on January 8th, 2008 for a second season.[2]
