Yeah, I'm all about The Real World: The Early Years, too. It was a much different show, IMO. Now every season it just seems an effort to one-up the last season in amount of alcohol ingested, random hook-ups, fights and cursing. The first couple seasons seemed so tame in comparison, but in some ways it was more interesting because you got to know them more as people and how they were really relating, not just all their screaming and slutting and slurring. I think the Vegas season was the beginning of the end that turned the series into what it is today. They also tackled/allowed some braver issues in those early years too, it seems like. So here are some things I remember after co-signing everything that's already been said above:
1. Season one, Julie joking that Heather might be a drug dealer because she had a pager.
2. Season one, they went to the pro-choice rally in D.C.
3. Season one, Julie spent the night with the homeless.
4. Season two, Tami getting an abortion.
5. Season two, the first roommate "kick-off", David.
6.
SF, Puck with his fingers in the peanut butter -- eww! (well, Puck himself, EW)
7.
SF, Pedro.
8. San Diego, the rumored rape (

9. Hawaii, Ruthie driving drunk.
10.
Seattle, the David/Kira thing was epic in the car, she actually lost her job over that relationship, but she wasn't the first -- remember the director from the first season that hooked up with Becky on their trip to the Bahamas? I think he chose the nookie over his job too.
