The MTV series that started out as a crazy social experiment in is still going strong -- its 20th season debuted earlier this month. And its effects are everywhere. It's hard to imagine TV without reality TV, but when "The Real World" debuted 16 years ago, it launched a whole new television landscape and signaled a cultural shift. There was something about it that was almost magical. Murray and Bunim originally pitched MTV a scripted series about young people starting out in New York, but when the network didn't have the money for it, they said, "Let's move seven people into a loft and shoot it and see what happens," Murray said. Looking back at that first season, it bears scant resemblance to the current one or any of its reality show descendents.
