The idea of creating a reality show first originated in 2006 when matriarch Kris Jenner wanted to appear with her family on TV together. Keeping Up With The Kardashians explored all the facets of the Kardashian-Jenner clan - the good, the bad, the ugly and obviously, the flashy. The stars exposed their lives on the show for 14 years.
