Then - in the wake of the late '80s Writers Guild of America strike that pushed desperate networks to learn to produce the cheap 'n easy reality fare - came 1992's The Real World. Like almost all of its emulators, from The Osbournes to the Paris Hilton-Nicole Richie vehicle The Simple Life to The Biggest Loser: Couples, The Real World explored what happened when people "stopped being polite ... and started getting real" ... but not too real.
