I am not sure who I was discussing the Real World with and how cool it use to be compared to how it is now. Jrazz maybe? They are having a 1992 Real World marathon on right now, which is great to watch if you don't have anything else to watch.

HA! This is my guilty pleasure show... I mean I am 50+ yo and sit and watch 20 somethings make fools of themselves on TV.

My dd & I saw the "retro" weekend and wondered how those 40 somethings now liked reliving their stupid 20 something life!

Oh good. (sigh of relief). I thought 40+ and loving this show was bad.

Ha ha... that was me.

If I didn't have a sick kid and husband and about 60 hours of work to do this week I would be glued to it. Wahhhh.

I was pretty sure it was you! Girl, it was the first season! If we lived by one another (and you didn't have responsibilities) we could have had a kick-ass marathon weekend! Damn!

I caught it too. Saw the San Francisco season yesterday. Sigh.

Reality TV was so different in its infancy. Makes you realize how scripted it is now.

Reality really is scripted now. I still love it though. My fave is Big Brother, which I tend to not think is scripted, and my fave scripted reality (Oxymoron) is anything Kardashian.

Oh, I still watch it too. Just made me a little sentimental.

I'll never forget Puck and the peanut butter. And, of course, Pedro.

Yeah, can't watch most "reality" shows. But, back in the day, Real World was so..........real.
