This DVD brought back so many memories for me. I was just 12 when the Real World debuted on MTV and what was the start of reality tv as we know it. The first season will always be one of my favorites because it WAS the first season and for that reason, this cast seemed more "real" than other real world casts.
I really enjoyed watching this DVD and all of the special features including the original real world. The only negative thing I have to say about it is the fact that they cut out the original music that was aired on television. There were some parts where I actually remember what song was playing during that moment.
I am glad I have the first season on DVD because now I get to watch it anytime I want since MTV does not show re-runs of these past seasons anymore.
I recommend The Real World: The Complete First Season to anyone who is not sure about buying it.

This is the first, and I think the best season of the show. The cast was interesting and had actual lives--they didn't go to the bars and get wasted every night, unlike current seasons.
I just really, really wish that this DVD had the *original* music included!!! Taking out the music really makes the show lose some of its resonance. I'd be willing to pay an extra $10 or $15 to get this DVD with the original soundtrack.

This show started the downfall of tv in america, the 1980's were a great time for tv, until this trash came and ruined MTV & TV in general paving way for the worst era of reality shows in history.
I Hated this show from the start, none of the reality shows were good, the acting is terrible, this is pathetic diposable junk (along with that crap band from seattle called nirvana aka nerdvana)
The Only good thing that kept this show alive is the death of Pedro Zambora, otherwise I Could care less about this them and I Could care about it now.
The Real World represent what's everything wrong with tv in general.
Reality shows should have stopped after rescue 911.
TV Review: NO STARS.

The first Real World was fascinating because it took 7 people who each had their own ambitions and wanted to take on New York City and become artists: a dancer, a model, a rapper, a poet, a folk singer, a grunge singer, and a painter. They had issues with each other, there was a little in-house romance, and the whole series was more compelling and interesting. The show really is about 7 people confronting real world issues and problems, and being young adults.
Watching it made me really sick about what the show has become-- an extended spring break for college kids with three priorities-- taking their clothes off, having sex with each other, and getting drunk. Don't get me wrong, I like all of those things, and enjoyed doing them in college very much. But as a TV show, it is SO MUCH BETTER when the cast members have real reasons for being there, and lives to pursue outside of hangovers and hooking up.
I miss the music, but all in all, this is a wonderful glimpse into reality TV before it got too TV to be real, overrun by attention whores living on islands, running amazing races, working for Donald Trump, swapping wives, and singing for Simon Cowell.
