'Real World' back to its roots?

According to this story in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, MTV's The Real World wants to get back to its roots -- casting people who have real career goals and aren't "emulating behavior they've seen on the show." Here's hoping it works out -- I'm exhausted and bored by the vapidity and sad behavior seen lately on the show. Almost anything would be better than guessing which permutation of roommates is going to get drunk and hook up on any given episode.

Get this, though: MTV is currently casting the 20th season of the show. Yes, 20th! That sure makes me feel ancient. The 18th season is the one airing now (Denver), and the 19th is filming in Sydney, Australia.

About Sarah Kelber

Sarah Kickler Kelber, an editor in the features department since 1999, got sucked into reality TV with the first episode of MTV's The Real World in 1992. Then came Survivor and American Idol, and suddenly, the genre was everywhere. She started blogging about it for The Baltimore Sun in January 2006 and has logged more hours watching and writing about such shows as Dancing With the Stars, Big Brother and, of course, Idol, than she'd like to admit.
