MTV's The Real World was basically the beginning of reality television. Before The Hills, Selling Sunset, and The Kardashians existed, MTV paved the way by featuring regular non-famous people living their lives out in the real world. Some of the people featured on The Real World went on to become celebrities in their own right and famous for other things. Those who never watched The Real World may not even be aware of certain famous people who got their start on that show.
The series began in 1992, ran for over a decade, and featured all kinds of different people and personalities from all walks of life. Most seasons featured a group of seven strangers as cast members who shared close living quarters. Obviously, the show was full of drama.
