'The Real World' has run its course
It’s time to empty the fishbowl.
Despite forgetting about MTV’s “The Real World” about three years and many “cast members” ago, I was recently alerted to the fact that its 20th season is airing.
“The Real World: Hollywood” is the story of seven strangers picked to live in a house and do all the raunchy, sexually charged things their predecessors have already done (or contracted) and none of the socially aware, genuinely interesting things the show’s pioneers did.
The format of the now longest-running MTV program is getting tired. They are not only regurgitating story lines, they are repeating locations. What happened to the show’s sister project, Road Rules? You could never run out of paths for that show.
It’s just sad.
A recent reunion show of all 20 seasons was equally disappointing. The program featured mock awards such as “Best fight” and “Best phone call” in-between flash appearances of past cast members. Please, MTV, viewers want to see where these people are now! We watched week after week and became connected to these people, we want to know what they are up to.
Get wise, MTV. It’s time to pull the plug on “The Real World.” Just don’t replace it with “America’s Next Top Model” reruns, thank you.
