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 (http://www.realitytvworld.com/index/...ory.php?s=2035) that the show basically ignored
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.
Had to fix it.

Oh man, Joe's girlfriend Nic. I swear she looked like a man in drag!

I also liked when the first cast stormed the control room on their last day in the house. That was great! I think seasons 2 and 3 did it too.

I have several of the Real World books: The Real Real World, Real World Insiders Guide, Real World Diaries, plus Joe's book about the Miami season. I always liked reading the books to find out all the things that didn't actually get on TV and all the secrets. They haven't done a book since Paris, though. (of course, who'd want to read about the more recent casts?)

That was pretty funny, I forgot about that incident.

I have two books, the one about the SF crew (since I live here)
and the one Judd wrote about Pedro. I just found it the other day packed in a box of books. I still can't read it because I cry. Judd did a great job illustrating this book.

Hawaii has got to be my favorite season. It premiered just before 9th grade started () and gave my class something to talk about with the upperclassmen, which helped us assimilate into high school. We walked around going "Hasta Pasta!" The class of '03 owes the Hawaii cast our lives, lol.

Ruthie getting wasted on the very first day has got to be the thing I remember most. I just remember her naked and unconscious in the shower. That was so pitiful. Lol, and the Amaya/Colin saga was priceless.

ROTF at "slap hear 'round the world."

Key West: Paula started going to therapy during filming because of all her problems...didn't she end up having an anorexia/bulimia/anxiety/depression combo?

New Orleans: When Julie "the Mormon" discovered her wildside.

I forget the seasons, but when Piggy bungee jumped and the harness was a little too "constricting" and she started screaming "AAAAAAHHHH, that's my effing vagina, owwww!" Also, when Gladys got kicked off for punching somebody. I felt so bad to see her go because I thought the person deserved it.
