The Real World/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: The bulk of the series can never be re-aired since it aired during the period when MTV had carte blanche music licensing deals with the music labels. An attempt was made to redo the series for DVD release via purging the music/deleting scenes with the cast singing, but this was met with much disdain from reviewers/longtime fans that none of the other seasons were released.
    • While seasons two through six occasionally can be found on torrent sites (based off one fan's VHS tape recordings), good luck finding later seasons.
  • Missing Episode: In Seattle, one episode refers back to an unseen sequence involving one of the girls having a male friend come visit her. The episode in question was deleted from the final cut the season, due to the fact that the friend ultimately committed suicide after his visit, which made for a bit of a plothole when later on the girl is seen going on a skydiving trip and references her dead friend, as the two both shared a love for skydiving.
