The granddaddy of the reality show, this is one of Creator/{{MTV}}'s biggest franchises, and effectively turned {{Reality Show}}s into one of the most popular [[UsefulNotes/TheUnitedStates American]] television format today.
In 1992, Creator/MaryEllisBunim and Creator/JonathanMurray came up with the idea of putting a random grab bag of seven twenty-somethings of different races, gender, and sexualities into an upscale apartment for six months, install a bunch of cameras inside, and air the ensuing film on national television. The ensuing show was a massive hit and, along with ''Series/{{COPS}}'', is considered [[TropeMaker one of the fathers]] of reality TV. It spawned a SpinOff, ''Series/RoadRules'' (aka "''The Real World'' [[JustForFun/RecycledInSpace in an RV!]]"), and a crossover series, ''Real World/Road Rules Challenge'' (later known as ''Series/TheChallenge'').
The early seasons were ground-breaking in the way they dealt with a ton of social issues rarely addressed on television at the time, such as homophobia, AIDS, abortion, racism, alcoholism, eating disorders, etc. However, gimmicks began to slowly enter into the premise after the show's fourth season. The most notable one was forcing the group to work at a job of MTV's choosing, which quickly went from something normal but meaningful like working at an after-school program, to glamorous media-related jobs. Further changing things was the ratings success of ''The Real World: UsefulNotes/{{Hawaii}}'', which featured a gaggle of [[TheHedonist hedonistic party animals]] whose topless hot-tub parties and marathon drinking caused the show to score major ratings. This led to the producers slowly abandoning the documentary-style nature of the show, as later seasons became more and more about picking people who will [[RuleOfDrama get drunk, make out, and start fights on-camera]].
Furthermore, it has managed to kick start careers for a number of talented people. Notable alumni include:
